It's been a while since I drove the Tamiya Grasshopper 2. 25 years have passed since then. Now It was time to drive it again. And you know what? It was a backflash and it was just awesome! Enjoy!

Die Videoqualität (Winkel, Schärfe, Handlung, Schnitt) ist wieder einmal atemberaubend!
Mein Mann wollte als Kind immer unbeidngt einen Grasshoper haben
Dankeschön! :) Der GH2 war vor 25 Jahren mein erstes Auto. Ich kann mich noch erinnern, dass mein großer Bruder den Thunder Dragon hatte und ich später den 540er Motor von ihm in den GH2 eingebaut habe. Das war einfach toll und für mich damals auch verdammt schnell :)
Ahh ich erinnere mich an das Nikko Boot. Es muss nicht immer schnell sein, um Spaß zu machen :)
Nein, gemütlich vor sich hin tuckern ist sehr entspannend :-)
It is a scene of good car transportation and getting on and off. Very nice!~
+Kisun's RC Life haha thank you. Yeah it's more transportation than a maiden run :)
I had no idea Tamiya started making this kit again. I had the original in I think 1987 or 88 but mine had yellow wheels and a 540 motor. I will definitely be buying one of these soon!
Yeah as far as I know they announced it early this year and I had to get it. Had one in 1992 with a tuned 540 motor and a lexan body and different tires :) It was great.
i think that jeep is out of this world nice vid keep up the great work
Thanks a lot :)
Extraordinary that car Tamiya, the beginning of the video is formidable
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Merci beaucoup, mon ami! :)
Fantastic video! Thanks a lot for shooting it !
Thank you very much :)
very creative and competently and tastefully done!
Thank you very much for the nice comment 😊
dont know if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last few days :)
@Orion Brentley Definitely, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
I owned a Super G Grasshopper II. I remember throwing a 50,000rpm Reedy motor in it and had to put the wheelie bar from my Midnight Pumpkin on because it was sick fast and the front end wouldn't stay down. Ended up busting the shit out of it beyond repair. I was young and stupid..but had a ton of fun 👍
+TboneNYC10 haha cool. Definitely sounds funny. I actually run the Grasshopper II with a 15 turns motor on 3S. Fast enough for the hopping beast :)
Ein tolles Video! Klasse Aufnahmen und schön verarbeitet!
Die Lackierung ist sehr gut!
Daumen hoch & weiter so!👍
Dankeschön :) Die Lackierung war zumindest bist zum ersten Überschlag schön :D
The hot weather is vividly transmitted~
super video~ ^+^
Thanks a lot for stopping by :)
Fantastic video my friend! Love the non box art paint job.
Thanks a lot! :)
great run bud. bringing it in on trailer at the beginning and at the end.. nice touch. thanks for sharing 🖒😎
Thanks a lot :)
Really enjoyed the video! I've been "watching" a Grasshopper 2 on eBay for a couple months now. May be time to pull the trigger...
+rominato Thank you very :) The Grasshopper 2 is great. It's not the performance master but super fun to drive.
Great video...looks like you had a blast! 👍😀
Thanks a lot :) Yes, it was a bast to drive the Grasshopper 2 again after 25 years. :)
I can only imagine...that would quite literally be a blast from the past. LOL 😉
That's so cool - and brought me back to 1989!! I have got to get me one of the re re versions. Maybe two.... so I can totally mod one up through AmPro Engineering, and a brushless motor!! 😁 👍👍😎
I gotta help a dear friend, who's in serious trouble right now... but soon!
BTW, that Jeep and Trailer are SICK!! Just subbed
Thank you very much! I got my first Grasshopper 2 in 1992 but my younger brother stole and sold it. I was so hyped bout the rerelease that I had to get one. Many great memories. The Grasshopper is still an awesome buggy and very fun to drive :) Thanks a lot for your comment and sub :)
Wonderful! Love your videos. Looks good and very different in black. The GH2 looks bouncy, beautiful and slow. Perfect. Like it should be :-) Like how it is already hoppin' on the trailer. Thumbs up. I can look at this while I'm waiting to build mine :-)
Thank you very much. I think the decision to go black was good because most of the GH2s are colored box art. Next step: install ball bearing, 540 motor and Tamiya upgrade shocks :)
I also think black was a good choice instead of yellow as you also considered, taking the decal colours into account. Looking forward to the upgrade run!
Came in clean went out dirty! =) Like that you did not paint it box art it looks great!! And a great example of these hopper suspensions also ... see when it's on the flat bed not moving you can see the rear suspension compressing up and down working fine but as soon as you drive it and its moving from throttle you can then see the rear shocks get pulled open and locked and hardly work at all!
Thank you. Haha, yeah the GH needed some dirt :) After the first 1 or 2 minutes of driving, dust on the damper shafts stopped the whole shock from working correctly. I think when I will go with the Tamiya upgrade shocks the dust shouldn't be a problem anymore :)
Dont matter what shocks you use on hoppers the rear shocks never work when your giving throttle only after you let off and let the buggy roll! =) Tamiya special design
Haha, you're right :D
Really enjoyed it! ..noticed now you got oil shocks all round has it made alot of difference? Been torn between getting a hopper 1 or 2 but seems the gh2 is better to upgrade? Do like the look of the black edition gh1 but feel its bit more limited? Both great fun no doubt! Used to have a hornet nearly 30 years ago that was a handfull! Good fun tho..cant wait to get going again!👌
Thank you very much! Yep the shocks made a lot of difference. Less hopping than before. But the construction of the rear with its suspension is not good. There are some cool tricks to mod it for more performance. There's not that much difference between the two hoppers. I would go with the GH2 because it was my first RC in the early 90s. :)
Excellent , great Tamiya !! Good bashing !!
Merci beaucoup, mon ami! :)
Cooles Video! Perspektiven sind der hammer!
Danke Gery :)
this is such a cool video.
Thank you very much :)
Great video man! sweet looking buggy!
Thanks a lot :)
love the Grasshopper!!! :)
Yeah, the Grasshopper is awesome :)
Does this use same transmission as a regular first gen grasshopper?
I think the transmission is the same. There are just some minor changes to the whole chassis. I like the stock suspension on the Grasshopper I more than on the Grasshopper II.
Nice intro with the trailer :) Great bashing :) :)
Thanks a lot Joe! :)
awesome video!
Thanks a lot David!
Is Tamiya still making remote control cars, seems like everything on their website is discontinued?
I never check the Tamiya website and purchase my RC's through hobbystores like amainhobbies, rcmart, asiatees, tamico or some austrian stores.
What size are the wheels?
I have no idea! I guess 1.9 inch. Those are the stock wheels.
Nice trailer. 👍
+Darrell Cummings Thank you :)
Super...Top Video
Danke :)
Proper cool video that!👌
Thank you very much Chris :)
nice video
Thank you very much :)
Man I need rear tires...can anyone tell me of nos for this grashopper 2...
Video was like watching a movie🖒🖒 Go brushless and lipo for pennies and tear it up with the power to weight. I want
Thank you :) Actually I've installed a 16 turn 540 motor and drive it on 3S. Maybe I'll upgrade to brushless one day :)
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you :)
A bit too much Toe in. Isn't it?
Yes, but it's the stock setup. I think the springs from the kit are way too stiff.
i want to be the guy that got all i mean the little guys to grow to 1000 thats me im that guy it wood be so cool to be at 1000 subs but it wood be even cooler to get all those guys that are working just as hard or harder to get something for it granted its not much but every little bit counts
I now do understand your comment after watching your last vid 🤘 👌
