Never thought I'd be posting a thread here.

Post by K-TOWN-KITT »

Just picked up a RC-10 A stamp runner to rebuild and got a Grasshopper with it. I have been thinking about the ones I had back in the day. If I remember correctly The buggy didn't jump or steer for anything. I remember everything was broken off or just plain broken including the chassis. A Body? What body? We never had no stinking body. They always got broken. I had like 4 of them for parts. I think one might of been a lunchbox because I had truck tires on it. Those were the best to go with because the tires would always take most of the abuse not the abs plastic. But I also remeber even with all those things wrong, the buggy did always run and it was pretty fast because I had a common orange Race Prep stocker. I always only had high because of the heatsinks. I think at one point I just cut the 3 wires off the msc. Oh I almost forgot. Never a battery door. Always some zip-ties zipped together around the chassis.(R.I.P. ROY MOODY) I mostly rebuild RC-10's and 10T's so I have a ton of misc. small brick-a-brack rc stuff that I never use to mod this thing out with. Looks like it's going to have all the electronics and it has a replacement body.

Grasshoppers and Hornets are super fun if you just wanna kick back and enjoy bashing. Takes me back that's for sure!

We have a Hopper and a Hornet. Powered by a RS-540 and a cheap 6 cell is all you need to have some fun. My Hornet is one of my favorite runners.
