Once again, great work. I like the way you think.
I'm getting these for my grasshopper. What an improvement
Just installed this product onto my hornet and let me tell you it is great!! The front end is now better then the back end. I mounted the steering linkage like how you mounted it on your cyclone. I had to cut out the body, but its worth it. Everything went together perfectly. Great job and Great product. Thx
Yep! I have a Drift Car At Work!!!! Lol! Along with a BMX bike, Unicycle, a Pit Bike, and One of my FLATTRACK Race Bikes! Yep!!!! TOYS!
Wow that front suspension works so much better! Its funny, the front looks almost completely dead while the rear is still bouncing all over the place Hornet style:) And it looks really cool too! Definitely getting this mod.
I LOVE these kits! I'm hoping to have a Buggy to do my own "research" soon... I am NOT worried about cutting the body! Definitely prefer better steering geometry over asthetics. The slow mo footage really shows how the front suspension is now far superior to the rear - and tons better than the original!
This is just awesome.
Love your product and just ordered one yesterday. Would love to have a list of the hardware which is needed for this mod. Thx
SO SATISFYING!!!!!! Lol! I'm SUCH a Detail NERD!
Unrelated to your mods: It was interesting to see the rear suspension actually working. When I had a Hornet as a kid, I was convinced the rear end wasn't doing anything.
I can definitely see where the 20mm offset would be best. Just that slight increase in length, permits much better shocks, with superior damping. You COULD get a 50mm shock set that performs well.... if you spend at least $50.00! Not on a car like this.
Hopefully you see this! When I go to the site I’m seeing 2 options with a $10 difference for the 20mm off set option. Which one is the one I should choose?
I know it would be pricey on Shapeways, but have you ever tried the metal option that Shapeways offers? I thought I remembered there being an option for the Lunchbox version of this a while back. That all said, this is an awesome upgrade for my daughters Grasshoppers. I probably shouldn't have put this mod on as she is a young driver and things will get rough out there when she drives them.... but I just couldn't resist. With Lunchbox tires on her Grasshoppers this upgrade does make quite a difference when driving them. Thanks for creating this!
In the description on shape ways it says that this is not as strong as the injection molded version. How do I get that?
What, if any, advantages does the 20mm offset vs. the 10 or the zero?
What does "ug" mean when referring to the shocks?
Will the hornet set for the suspension work on the grasshopper and the grasshopper 2?
Does the suspension mod also work with the Super Hornet?
What is the ground clearance for this? Is it lower than stock?
is there a set of 60mm shocks you can recommend, or will any set do?
