Grasshopper with Blue endbell Black 540 motor...

Post by fordtransman »

So a co-worker for the better part of 5 years has told me about "his grasshopper" the only rc he ever owned when he was a little kid.

He finally brought it in

to my surprise he had the blue endbell, hopup black endurance motor 540sd on it.

wow...

I must have posted this REALLY really late when all the colors are mixed up.

Its a black can, black label all right, but its a RED endbell, SPRINT motor.

And now I cant go back and change the title of the thread...

oh well.

It belongs to a co-worker. He wants to fix it back to runner status and bash it again like he did as a kid, while his Dad is still here to see it.

Thats cool by my book.
