Going 80's in style with classic R/C
 

Just sharing good times with classic mid 1980's R/C models especially from TAMIYA and others. They look good, really have nice scale look in the old days and pure fun in stock form except today i use Li-Po packs. "thumbsup"

First up sharing my classic (re-re) TAMIYA - The GRASHOPPER

Damn, I love my grasshopper. 80’s tech at its best. I have scx10s and wraiths and slashes, but that grasshopper is sometimes the most entertaining.

I had the Hornet. My cousin had the Grasshopper. The Hornet was a much better performer out of the box, but I always thought the Grasshopper looked better. To this day I think the Grasshopper is one of the all-time best looking buggies.

Cool Vids! check out my youtube channel Shen RC I have some hornets and grasshoppers and more!

Me too, maybe its hoppy characteristic makes it looks fun to drive around and sand paddle tire helps too.



Its has more scale look of real life sand buggies, plus had a hardshell ABS plastic bodies. Slap in 540 motor and oil shocks it would performed as good as Hornet. 8)





I love your Grasshopper with shiny scorpion wheels, nice mods. But i love your micro Q-Steer tamiya a lot, seems hard to find these days.
