That was a lovely day for a speed test, Mikael! And your Grasshopper III is also looking fine. Spot-on top speed for a stock Tamiya on NiMh. Thoroughly enjoyed, as usual, mate! :)
Ha ha, yeah, a little faster and she would break the sound barrier 😅 Well. How I wish I would have tried one of the Tamiya Hoppers back in the 1980s when I was running the Nikko and Taiyo. I would really have classified this one as a speed demon back then as a kid 😃
It’s a Snide Buggy ☺️ Ahh, yeah, like most Tamiya entry level off road buggies it is geared quite low. All DT-01-02-03 only have the option of an extra 2 tooth pinion. I think one of mine does around 40 kph with a 19T pinion and a sport tuned. So the BZ would probably get well above 40 kph with that gearing. Plenty of speed for these Hoppers I think.
Beautiful day for a relaxing speed run of a great Tamiya! Well done Mikael!👍😊
Thank you, Jeremy! It’s fun to see what all these stock Hoppers can do ☺️

Yes, a lovely sunny ☀️ afternoon in the fall. Now it’s raining and raining. And yes, everything as expected ☺️ Thanks a lot for watching, my mate.
Very nice! that's a great spot for speed runs!! 👍
Yeah, it’s good for those cars that can drive straight and doesn’t go too fast 😀 Thanks, Steve.
Green looks very good, nice run!
Thanks my mate!
Be nice to see them come out with the original black edition of the grasshopper.
I have a video with both the black and green Grasshoppers.
2S LiPo speed test over here. Much faster than this 6S NiMH? Or?
Cool RC and speed test
Thanks, Duke!
Shes a speed demon!😂 always cool to see you break out the old school Tamiya's!👍👊

Love those Finespec controllers :)
Yeah. Got them in 2.4G too. Wish they had dual rate though 🤨
Hiya Mikael. Well she's not the speediest but looks very cool in the bright metallic green! Hope all is well matey. Enjoy the rest of the weekend :-)
Hiya Pete! Ha ha, no not the speediest. But very cool and cute at the same time 😀 Hope you had a good weekend, mate. Get ready for Monday ☺️
You know this year they brought back that colored body again with the kit.
Yeah, they have a tendency to re-release limited editions, he he. They just change the number.
Looks Very snide 🤩👌🏻 I was running a BZ in mine with 2s and only got 39 k/hr. I think the gearing in these isn’t the best

Sorry not with the grasshopper 2 I mean with the original grasshopper
This actually isn’t the Grasshopper II. It’s the Mad Bull with buggy tires.
@@NordicRC you know the mad bull does use the grasshopper to body.
@@bradkalman2353 No, it's modified to fit the DT-01.
