old grasshopper

Post by slim_chance »

Or at least I think it is. I was searching through my stuff trying to find my old super champ and found no sign of it but I came across a chassis for a grasshopper.

Now I am contemplating the fate of this little critter. I have all the wheels for it the chassis is pretty much there except battery door and pinion cover. The old spring over shaft suspention is complete. All the body mounts are toast. No body. And no electronics.

So my question is restore, sell, trade, or throw it back in my closet?

Pics soon.

Whatever you do, don't spend more than $90 bucks on it, because you can get a brand new Grasshopper re-release kit for that much.

Good to know. Probably will just put it back into storage. Its a back burner type thing to about 7 other projects any way. Wish I found my super champ instead. But sadly it seams some whow the super champ is long gone
