grasshopper rerelease

[Yrkoon]

been out the loop by quite a few years for rc cars and dad and i are getting back into them.

 

years ago my dad sold an original grasshopper to some one that put a strong 540 in it and trashed it, that poor wee hopper wasn't hopping anymore 😛

 

now a few day's ago dad and i just both got grasshopper rerelease kits, due to almost every thing we have been too powerful for a garden covered in stones and gravel etc and the fact were on lockdown

 

dang that little 380 motor and bouncy pogosticks are super awesome fun and even better with 2 of them bouncing about all stock apart from fully ball raced 

 

im gonna leave mine stock i reckon.

 

 

dad has his in fluorescent orange and on the wheels.

 

any one know where to get green nuts? 

 

theres a sledge hammer s50 a savage a bandit etc but the grass hopper is just as much fun

dang they would do the job, pity it's ebay i dont have an account there and im too drunk to make one lol

 

back when i was in early primary school my dad had the grass hopper and a much older kid had the gold tub rc 10 we used to hang out and do mental (tame by todays standards) stuff with them, later i got the rc10 but i threw it out after getting my first nitro..................... my biggest regret since  years later they rere the gold tub lmao

 

it was super awesome fun having 2 grasshoppers bounce about the stones in the garden and some banter going especially when dads one needed a push from my one to get un snagged

[Yrkoon]
