I also included a different edit ("Version II") as an unlisted video with cuts back and forth between the stock and upgraded version, as well as some run time without music ... and a lot of wind noise in the microphone: • UNLiSTED ViSiONS: Tami...
Check out my channel for many more videos with the Tamiya Grasshopper and Hornet family ... and many other Tamiya RC models and RCs from other brands!
For those who are new to The Rising Fighter history, this model (Tamiya 58416 from 2008) is based on the Tamiya Grasshopper II chassis, a modified Tamiya Super Hornet body, a Tamiya DT-01 Gear Box and a DT-01 Mad Fighter Wing. This is my take on a custom 10th anniversary tribute custom edition. Just the Rising Fighter, a kind of "Hornet III", which I wish Tamiya had released 10 years ago. On second thought, maybe not, because I would have missed out on all the upgrade- and tuning fun.
Here is an overview of the upgrades and links to the previous video series on this channel, including the different steps, first off road run and GPS speed test:
Step 1: Introduction and 9x1150 and 1x850 Ball Bearings

Nordic RC Visions Statement:
This video features homemade footage of my own radio-controlled unit, the Tamiya Rising Fighter (Tamiya Model 58416 from 2008), from my personal RC model collection. All rights reserved.
hahaha I love the walk of shame back to its owner at 1:45 with the antenna tube dangling. I'll be getting mine in the next week or so, cant wait to build and drive it!
Ha ha, looked a little sad 😅😊 Uhh, I am sure you will have fun with both the build and runs !
Great video Mikael!! I got to say I love the finished buggy looks and handles so much better :)
Me too! Thanks, Chris!
This was awesome! I’m a sucker for before and after videos and black RF looks killer .
Thanks, my friend! Yeah, and it looks so good with the AMPro Parts, with the rear down and no clunk clunk clunk :-) Handles a lot better too and doesn’t flip at all, as seen in the video.
How to make an awkward buggy cool. Great work! 😁👍
Yeah, I like it so much better now ☺️ Fun and Hornet’ish 😍
And thanks, buddy!
Nice, the story of the rebirth and how much better it is :-)
Yeah. And it was kinda funny to try and re-create the same shots I had with it from before. Runs so much better now (and looks so much better now in my opinion). Thanks for watching, bro.
Nice. The black one looks way better. Nice run!
Thanks, Charlie. Yeah, and behaves better now ☺️ As you said, only hoppin’, not super hoppin’ 😂
Hahaha 😂
Very Nice video!!
Thanks! It was fun to re-create the same shots I had with the old version ☺️
Such a cool buggy, I really like this one great job brotha video was awesome 👍😎
The overhaul u did on this looks great! 🅰️➕
Thanks, Steve! It’s a fun classic Tamiya hopper-hornet 🐝😍
Thanks, bro!
Great to see the before and after runs in one video Mikael. Hopefully you now have the hopper all sorted. It does look great in black.
Thanks, Rob. Yeah, some day I need to sort out the hard-as-stone rear suspension, but I'm not sure how. Maybe I will try out that extension of the rear upper shock mount, as on yours :-) Yeah, does look good in "Hornet-Black" :-)
Masterpiece.😎 👍
Thanks! She looks and behaves better now - definitly ☺️
Excellent video😀
Thanks, J!
😀👍☝️🏆🐍
Nice looks like a good improvement
Much much better. The Rising Fighter/Hornet III I’ve always wanted ☺️ Thanks for watching, bro.
Fantastic video my friend, looks totally outstanding 👍😊👍
Thanks, Tony! Yeah, I like the 'Hornet-Black' and the way it handles now :-) Thanks a lot for watching, bro.
@@NordicRC , your welcome my friend 😁
Very cool, I'm doing a similar upgrade from Ampro Engineering. Plus a oil dampened shocks addition will change the ride considerably. Affordable model with upgrades out there to have!
Thanks, scootergti! Yeah, and it's always fun to upgrade - I like the process :-) Thanks a lot for watching! Hope you get your Rising Fighter the way you want it to be :-)
😉👍Nice your upgraded one looks much nicer! Its funny in slo mo you can see the rear shocks getting pulled open on throttle and this is why the suspension don't work only when off throttle on these hoppers!
Shen RC Thanks, Steve. Yeah, I ‘ve noticed that too, also when just running it, and it explains why my effort trying to soften it up was futile.
Silly suspension. Good stuff though I enjoyed watching.
Un buen ejemplo de lo importantes que son los neumáticos y los amortiguadores.
Good bugy y like the body stile the bugy good run y like this tecnólogy good video nórdic. 😎👍
Thanks for the comment, Marcos. I like it too :-)
I'm thinking about getting some of those Louise rocket tires
Definitly recommend them. Just got a pre-glued 4WD 1/10 E-Rocket buggy tire/wheel set too. That’s how much I like them ☺️
Ahhh - what a difference - looks like a different buggy now, and I notice there were no roll-overs in the latest run! I wonder why? Great job you did there my friend! :))
Thanks, Mark. Yeah, for me, that was one of the best parts. I remember I was amazed seeing Sigbarth RC’s upgraded RF not doing any roll overs and wanted that for mine too ☺️The stock would roll over just looking at it on tarmac. Now, I can’t get any roll overs even though I try. And the rear-“damping” works great on this smooth tarmac 😄
Cool my friend - so glad you got the RF you wanted eventually!! It sure is a special RF! :-)
Your RF is special too. Would be cool if we all could run our special RF’s together. AMPro, Sigbarth RC, Rob got some beauties and special ones too. Except for you and Rob (lucky you!) we are scattered all around the globe ☺️ But the RF sure is a fun buggy to tweak and tune into what one wants it to be. But as you said, it will still be a hopper no matter what we do ☺️
Hell yeah! That would be ace - we would call it "HOPPERS UNITED!" What a meeting that would be! Imagine the footage we could get! Maybe one day... a lovely thought! :-)
How many vehicles do you have??? Do you have a video just on your collection?? I want to see that if you do👍
I haven't really counted it. Each year I upload a video with my Tamiya collection, this year also a montage with some of the others (I have no collection videos of my 1980s toy-grades). You can find all my 'collections' in my channel's video list (Tip: You can do a search in all channel's video lists, if you are looking for a particular video or model on the channel).
Duckling to swan 👍, check out my latest videos if you want
Thanks JG RC! Nice, fits very nice, especially because I'm from the land of H.C. Andersen :-) I will check it out as soon as I have the time.
Mauvaise voiture . Si aucune option . Incontrôlable.
Such a pleasure to run after the upgrades :-)
