Thanks for watching. No, it still has its own axle, but see closely, and see another video on my channel. Grasshopper was heavily modded and its axle is mounted on four links, very different suspension now :)
Lol I kept thinking you should put the hammer down on the hornet. You’ll burn out the resistors! Back in the day you had to keep anything with a three step mechanical speed controller running at full speed. Or the extra power bleeding off could burn out the ceramic resistor.
I noticed the Grasshopper has the Hornet style Differential mounting that allows some articulation. Was this a standard fitment on the later retro models?
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Hornet uses brushless airplane outrunner motor NTM Propdrive 2836 2200kv with 3d printed motor mount to put a 18t pinion, since its rather slow. Since the motor is very short, it clears the shocks, which were laid down to the chassis for some better performance. Grasshopper runs LRP Blast S10 23t brushed motor and custom rear 4link suspension. That is why you see a gearbox reversed. Its articulation was highlighted in my video :) it eliminates gearbox slap completely.
@@chinlaiyo9565 It's not sloppy, It's responding to the contours of the surface instead of making the whole car bounce around. That's how a solid axle setup is supposed to work.
Two great RC Cars-They got me and so many people into the hobby-Thanks for the video-we appreciate it ✨
Kids involved in the R/C Buggy Life are happy kids.
Im this kid🤣
Great video! These 2 models have given so much joy to so many.
Nice! I don't know why it makes me happy that you gave your son the faster car. :-)
That music is so 80’s!! Love the vid
Looking good! Runs very nicely 😊
Love the music
Great Job!
Asplenia.
exclent video, hope you had fun with your kid
lovin the gear box mod on the grasshopper never thought of that
Great video, nice vibe
That takes me back! 👍
It Looks great! But what about all the Sand in the Car?
Does that grasshopper have the Hornet rear axle? I swear I could see it rotating left/right. Great video!

Great vid. Which is faster of the 2?
Great edit
Be careful when driving on wet sand salt can get in your motor and break it

cool
Here I am a year later watching this video again!
Thank you!!

Thanks for watching. Grasshopper has absolutely custom 4link rear suspension, see details in my other video.
What setup are you running in the cars?

Rear end on grasshopper is very sloppy

Its true the hornet is the better buggy, but the the frog was better then all of the even better then the hunter
