They really have their own unique way of bouncing and hopping all over the place that makes then fun to drive! Yours did good even with all the crazy bucking and bouncing all over!
Hi Steve, always a blast with a Grasshopper, yours is now a flying grasshopper! I see the strange thing in this video but I ain't giving the game away (it's not the sock, Derek!!!) all I'll say is it looks like something I got too! Great fun, dude!!! 😎👊👍
This video shows what an incredible RC the Grasshopper is. A simple 40 year old design that even today still provides the Tamiya fun factor we love and enjoy. The only strange thing I saw was a disgusting old crusty sock @1:14 😝
Great fun as always with your videos Steve 👌 Is the unusual thing the oil filled shocks you fitted possibly from a Hornet? Sure handles the way a hopper should and the same as a Hornet 👍 I love your commentary too sounds similar to original Tamiya advertisements from the old days. What a damn shame your spot got built on. I've seen this happening for years and I'm in Australia. Old places I used to love going to being built on and replaced with sports stadiums and shopping centres and even entire housing estates where there was once a vacant field and an orchard or an old farm . It has happened everywhere and yeh it breaks my heart. Once idyllic and tranquil and peaceful now ruined. Is this the old place you used to run at all your videos that had a large asphalt road and a forest off to the sides and also had some steel tables and chairs? I feel for you Buddy. And Frank Evans too.👍🥰
Thanks so much, yeah lots of places get ruined for sure! This is the place if you watch some older videos this spot was huge and the surface was all nice long one big rock very special to see something like that and that's why I got mad when they just covered it all up.
@@ShenRC The Armored Vehicle behind the fence?? or the dust effect on the burn out..... Or maybe it is this just a ploy to get me to watch 7 times lolol.... got me bud..
Ha ha I don't know it handled it very good! I checked the steering first thing at the end and it was not broken and nothing broke I was happy! Thanks for watching.
I still think the dirt tune motors perfect. I don't know if I'll be able to run mine this year. I got some others to run before I run it I might start out next year with it.
Hi this was my spot I always went to but then they took it all up and put the soccer field over it and messed up the nice land here! If you watch my older videos this spot was big and had all rocky surface it was awesome. Thanks for looking.
A grasshopper will always put a smile on anyone's face.
Well said, the simple RC's are very much BIG fun!!
I love how much you enjoy driving it! Put a big smile on my face!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks it was fun!
Well, that’s just a super fun little thing isn’t it? Fun Friday hopper Steve!
Love over powered hoppers they sound crazy
😁👍 I loved every minute of it!
Smiling all way through that vid Steve!
What a Beauty Legendary buggy the Hopper is!
Yep had the best time ever!! Thanks so much.
Great run, Steve! The Grasshopper always makes me smile. The handling (or lack of), the sound, always brings back great memories. 👍
Well said! I had a blast with it!! Thanks for watching.
Steve, that was hopping mad 🙂that's quick for a hopper.
Yes it is pretty fast! lots of fun though and it did much better on this rough stuff than I thought it would.

For sure I had a blast with this beauty for sure and it's darn fast too for a hopper! Thanks for looking.
I still say the grasshopper is one the most fun RC car's to run. Great video!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks
I remember the first time I saw a grasshopper when I was a kid. It was so cool with its body clips and no wire going to the controller
Yeah and still a beauty today!!

@@ShenRC Still haven't figured out the strange part other then not being on the ball field..

I’ve got my vintage hornet, Grayson has the rising fighter, I need to get a grasshopper to go with the collection
Got to get one brother!
What a run. How do you keep the steering together.
Ha ha I don't know it handled it very good! I checked the steering first thing at the end and it was not broken and nothing broke I was happy! Thanks for watching.

I think mines a 20T it fly's!
Think Frank Evans spine left the chat a long time ago 🤣
Yeah he's lucky he don't have any legs! lol!!!
❤❤
😁👍
I haven't seen you bash at this location in a long time. Did the park owners allow you to do this?
Is the strange thing in this video the location?

Nope you can see it in the video It was supposed to be hidden but I messed up!
Oh yes, go on Steve, rip that Grasshopper and when you’ve ripped it, rip it some more ! 😂😂😂such great fun to watch and hear 😊😊best wishes 😊

The simple RCs are usually the most fun.
Yeah I was having the best time ever! Thanks
