I built mine last week and finished it this weekend. I built it as a Grasshopper II because I wanted a Grasshopper II EVO! It turned out great! The only oddity is how heavy it is in the rear. Which works well because it helps it jump flat and gives it that understeer that's so much fun. I had to use all 4 "wide" preload spacers in the back as well as a pair of "medium" preload spacers to get the rear end to sit level. Otherwise it's a great little car and a really fun build!
Really looking forward to the build, there are some big bits of plastic on the rear so its interesting you say this helps, I am keen to compare to the sand viper ad loved that build, Anyway may thanks for watching and taking the time to share.
It seems as though you are getting reacquainted with an old friend, and I know you will enjoy the build. Shame about the stickers and I do remember the problems associated with cutting them out yourself but oh well have fun Matt. Looking forward to the next video. Jersey Bill
My first RC Car, Boxing day 84/5 ish, my grandad wiped the front end of on the curb, had to wait for the model shop to open for a new upright- still one of the best Christmas. Thanks for watching and taking the time to message.
Looks a nice little model. Looking forward to watching the build 😀
