Always a pleasure to see good ideas and good engineering. Tires look good on the GH. Thumbs up for both of you! (By the way: in these “phone days” with small displays it’s a bit hard to see details/small parts if they are not up close to the camera)

[@ShenRC]

Thanks =)

[@GOBRADON502]

Yeah that looks really good on the grasshopper

[@ShenRC]

😊👍Thanks.

[@rchelistef506]

[@ShenRC]

Thanks man these are cool adapters!

[@clodbusted1776]

Great upgrade I like those grasshoppers

[@ShenRC]

Tip for ya...don't buy one you may end up getting loads more of em! =)

[@clodbusted1776]

You might be right LOL

[@BasBoyRC]

That's so cool and will be good to see the hopper running with the new wheels.

[@miniRCSports]

great job

[@ShenRC]

thanks =)

[@brianfig79]

Are there ball bearings in the rear and front wheels? Sorry I'm a newbie

[@ShenRC]

Hi the kit's come with plastic bushings you need to order a bearing kit if you want the best performance. Thanks for watching.

[@KevinMillard68]

cool stuff bro

[@ShenRC]

Thanks man!

[@KevinMillard68]

your welcome

Hello, could you tell me if the Kyosho rear tire diameter is the same or larger than the stock Hornet? I was hoping to increase ground clearance under the rear diff with a slightly larger tire. Thanks.

[@ShenRC]

Hi they are a little larger than a new hornet type tire but as soon as you use the hornet and the spikes wear a little the kyosho ones are bigger and stay larger bacuse they don't wear out like the hornet tires do. Thanks

[@hvspeed6102]

@@ShenRC
Thank you for responding. That sounds perfect. I made a skid plate to protect the bottom of the dif and need a little increased clearance.
Any tips for getting the Kyosho front wheels onto the Hornet? I see that you have listed a bearing size, 4.5x8 mm x 2.5.

[@ShenRC]

@@hvspeed6102 Hi It's been a while I think you just need the smaller bearings.

[@Harkeness_RC]

Super awesome Steve! I like the look of those rear wheels. Looks amazing, brings out the hopper more! 👍

[@ShenRC]

It looks great! want to see a photo with the scorpion wheels on the front also go to my channel page and click on the top the community tab and you will see a photo of it =)

[@satorrotas]

[@SANDSCORCHER]

The Scorpion wheels look superb on the hopper. Great bit of collaboration with Mr Ampro there Shen :-)

[@ShenRC]

Thanks there awesome..see my running video with the wheels and tires on! =)

[@SANDSCORCHER]

Thank you Shen, will do Sir :-)
Thank you also for your heads-up video about stopping re re Sand Scorcher/Buggy Champ dampers from leaking. I have acquired the appropriate parts and am looking forward to building mine right, thanks to your efforts and generosity Sir :-)

Your welcome =)

[@coopersharp2921]

I really like this design, but would like to modify it to fit one of my other vehicles. Is there any way i could get an stl file, or an email to contact the designer. thanks.

[@ShenRC]

Hi I designed these and just had ampro make the product. I don't think Ampro gives out his design files. what are you wanting to do?

[@coopersharp2921]

@@ShenRC thats ok, I was just thinking of making a standard 12mm hex adapter for the kyosho wheels. would it be difficult for me to design my own?

[@ShenRC]

I don't know how hard it would be.

[@coopersharp2921]

@@ShenRC ok

[@Remoteaddicted]

Very cool adapter! Almost every tire is better than the stock ones :) Can you install the Scorpion front tires too?

[@ShenRC]

Thanks, I think you can but I am not 100% sure you may need to get different bearings.

[@Remoteaddicted]

Bearing shouldn't be a problem :)

[@ShenRC]

DONE! you just need 4 5x8MM x 2.5mm ball bearings see photo here ruclips.net/user/shenloncocommunity?view_as=subscriber if you cant see it go to my channel page and click on the top the community tab. looks bad to the bone! =)

[@theibault]

Good work dude! BEAUTY!

[@ShenRC]

=) LOL! yea these should be awesome!!! Thanks

[@bradkalman2353]

I bet these cost you a fortune is the stuff they already have out for these cars cost a great deal just to ship which I think is ridiculous from what the park costs I can't afford this and I'm surprised they haven't made it as standard issue from them to buy. And they should have paid you for your idea.

[@ShenRC]

I don't think it's that much $ all I know is you can get the scorpion rear tires for $13.00 shipped off e-bay don't know about the wheels but they do make the hoppers run much better. 😁👍
