For some inexplicable reason, I have taken a fancy to Grasshoppers recently. I really love the Grasshopper body and would like to mount one on a Rising Fighter that I ordered. Can I swap out the RF/Grasshopper 2 chassis for a Grasshopper/Hornet chassis and still retain the RF suspension?
The RF/G2 chassis lacks the rear holes to mount the Grasshopper body. I know I will have to use Hornet parts where the gear box mates with the chassis.
I just bought a Tamiya Rising fighter, so far I am happy with it (got it for $55 can't really go wrong there). My question is what kind of upgrades can be done to this car?
Is there anything I can do to reduce how bouncy it is?
I have a dynamite...

Thanks for the advice! Im just searching for a good site to buy from now
Anyone know if it can be done? I went to GH2 arms on my hornet for width, but seems like I sacrificed some rigidity.. they twist like a 50's dance craze. These look a little more stout..

Thanks Kaiser. Now that I think about it, I knew about the CRP kit, and I knew it could be adapted to the GH and Hornet. Guess I should have put 2+2 together :roll: !
I just picked up a DF02 4wd buggy for the kids to use next season to get some more practice on the track. They got pretty good at getting their Grasshoppers around the track this past year- which is no small task in stock form with a 27t motor. They...

I'm pretty surprized though cause yous aid it ran quiet when you changed the moter position.
I was rather expecting the pinion to strip the spur in no time.
Yes- you win the grand prize: a free entry into the...

Those look alittle big on the rear highway.... These are the box art wheels:
The ones on my car are the 2.1 / 2.0 version. My Grasshopper 2 came with yellow wheels originally, but I thought the color stood out too much, so I went with the CRP...
I'm not sure where to put this since it isn't really vintage.
Does anyone have a DF-02 chassis? I just ordered one for my daughter for Christmas and I was wondering if anyone has any input on weak points or anything that needs attention?

Well my daughter is getting a new Tamiya Rising Storm for christmas. She has wanted a 4wd buggy for a while and with my Tower Hobbies discount I was able too get it with free shipping for $130.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Factory Team B3's came with the standard length carbon chassis. Well. I have two NIP kits I just opened to build, one being a Team version and the other being a Factory Team version. In the picture below are the...

Bugle - The battery brace is short as well so I guess it was meant to be.
Very strange, should be standard length! You have a odd FTB3!
slotcarrod - Both of these will only see shelf duty as I have two B3 runners for playing. The chassis will...
