- Short video running the Tamiya Grasshopper with the 540 Tamiya Sport Tuned Motor. Much faster than the stock 380. An 18 tooth pinion is required to get the proper gear mesh.

like how the car jumps up and down!😀
It’s a hopper 👍🏻
Sport tuned working like a charm in the hopper 👌 do you notice any difference from the Torque tuned motor if you have one?
Glad you are happy with it! I have never ran a Torque Tuned in my Grasshopper so I can't really say how much difference you'd notice. They are essentially the same motor with different turns. I'd say the torque tuned would be plenty fast in the Hopper but might not be quite as punchy as the sport tuned. :)
Pretty sweet Grasshopper.

Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the video!
Hi friend! 1 question, when I upgrade my grasshopper's engine to a 540 (and hit 18 mph) will the diff and transmission wear out quickly?
The Grasshopper has the same transmission as the Hornet which comes stock with a 540 silver can. The gearbox on these is very durable and unless you are running a really hot motor it will last a long long time. If it wears out, the gears are easy enough to find and fairly cheap. Thanks for the question. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi what battery you using here?
Just a cheap NiMH 7.2V. It really moves out with this motor but not so much that the gearbox is being destroyed. Thanks for watching!
Did you upgrade the shocks on your grasshopper?
No and I don't really see the need for it. The suspension is very basic and oil filled shocks really don't improve it much if any. I think most the aftermarket shock are not built well anyway. I prefer to let it hop around like it was intended to do.
