It doesn't appear to have the rubber O ring friction dampers on top of the front springs so that says Grasshopper to me .

Judging from the rear body mounts, I'd say its a Hornet with a Grasshopper body. The front wheels appear to be from a fox and have tamiya super gripper tires. The rear tires are standard Hornet tires. Both the Grasshopper and Hornet came with the nerf bars. The Hornet and Grasshopper share the same ...

Very nice work!! I've just pulled a couple examples and the rere bumper is actually a little smaller than the original version. Of course, it will still fit but I'm surprised that it isn't an exact copy. Anyway, nearly every other molded rere part is same as original - the transmission cases being t...

Vintage boats are definitely welcomed here. I've always loved the look and name of this one. Very futuristic.

This is turning into a neat little project! Side note: I love RC junk!

This should be a new thread… Pets in R/C Boxes!

This was one of my favorites, hardly any information out there about them.

I could be wrong but from memory it was the smallest ESC of the time and pre-dates the Novak Atom.

Got something to add to this buggy should have the bits fitted soon hopefully
