My first car r/c car was a Lazer but I can not remember the company who made it. It was a knock off of a Hornet but had some cool chrome wheels. Anybody ever heard of this?

The Lazer was made by Minicraft. It was like the hornet except it used the plastic from the rock buster...so it was a little softer than the tamiya cars.

It came with chrome 5 hole 2.0 wheels.
There was one on ebay last year in near mint condition...but I didn't have the funds at the time. One of my goals is to get all of the grasshopper knock offs:

mugen manx
panda cyclone (same as rhe manx)
minicraft lazer
rock buster
road runner

another knock-off: the nikko bizon F10 (at least that's what I think it was called)

The body for the Lazer was molded by Parma, then offered by them later under the name of the Sly One specifically for the Fox.

I ran that body on my Frog it was cool and easy to paint

Thanks for the info, it really helps!

That's what I thought, but I didn't want to give that info since I wasn't sure.

I always liked that clone version of the grasshopper. It had some good hop-ups.
