Hey guys, I've just acquired this reasonably good condition Super G, it's goin to be a runner, as it handles so much better than my re-re grasshopper does. I am finding it hard to fins decals for the body- does anyone do repro stickers for this model, or will I have to keep looking for some genuine decals. Anyway, here she is-
HI!... Well I had a Tamiya Grasshopper when I was 12 (1985). So I decided to get one of the re-releases. So today I picked up my brand new Grasshopper. Here's a few pics.

HI!... Well this one already has full AVID ball bearings (sealed) in it. It's currently got the stock 380 motor in it. It's a shelf queen. If it ever gets run it will get one of the many new 540 Technigold motors I have and a lipo. :mrgreen:
HI!... Picked this Tamiya Grasshopper II up off Ebay. In pretty good shape. I'll be restoring this one to bone stock out of the box condition.

HI!... Well my decals showed up today. :mrgreen: Still waiting on a NIP body to show up. Still having a hard time finding original GRASSHOPPER II front/rear wheels. This one came with some other cars wheels on it.

Just looking at those MonsterHoppers makes me feel the need to build one. I think it would be more fun than just getting a Mad Bull.
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...

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
I picked this thing up the other day, it's not in the best condition, but it's an rc car and I can't pass them up when I see them. I'm pretty sure it's a grasshopper, but just want to confirm it.

that front tower/shock setup is pretty rare. i haven't seen one in a very long time.
First post.
I got this barely used Grasshopper from a co-worker for a good price. He aquired it from his uncle when he died and it has sat in his basement for the past 16 years. I told him I would gladly take it off his hands and give it a good...

True, true, the old knobby tires were not all that realistic, but they just looked sweet on those old school buggies. Better looking than the crop of tires that followed in my opinion.
This is my first RC10 runner and I had a spare Tamiya grasshopper body around. This is how two iconic cars look together :). A nice match?
The gold pan chassis and the grasshopper body actually line up together from the top and side view. I just...

Hey Dadio, can you post more full buggy pictures of the RC10 Grasshopper design? All these years I have a grasshopper but no RC10 to do the install of your rear suspension stay. When you get a chance, would like to see how it looks.
HI!... I been working on this Grasshopper II for about 2 years now. Really hard car to find NIB parts for. lol! I think the wheels and tires took me the longest to find. Anyway it's almost complete. All I need is to finish painting the driver (he is...
