    I bought my first Tamiya kit in over 25 years, a couple of days ago and it was such an awesome experience assembling the kit. I chose a Midnight Pumpkin which I always loved as a kid. Now I really want to assemble more. Thank you so much for the videos!

I like the look of the Hornet Evo, as you said the rear suspension is too soft in kit form, and to be honest maybe the front is a little stiff too. Awesome video!!

    Sorry for the loss of your friend, cancer sucks! My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family!
    I really enjoyed the build of the kit, it was cool to see how the shoe-horned all in there to make it work. I agree the rear is way to mushy and it needs stiff springs. A viewer suggested the Traxxas bandit front springs (#2458) for the rear of this, they are black to match the front and are stiffer to hold the weight better. The DT03 had the same issue with soft springs but the battery is a little more forward in those. It looked good out there and the tires on the concrete sounded cool! Take care Fil and I hope you have the best weekend you can, try not to dwell on it all.

    • @poorboysrc

Got some wheel weights that you use on a real car as I've don't this on my original and it helps the front end. Also got some alloy wheels for it. Just need to make up my mind on the colour now.

    I've had friends in their late 20s get bowel cancer. In my country it's skyrocketing amongst younger people. Stay away from processed food especially meat. Pork being the worsed according colon cancer specialists. Due to the link between nitrates used to preserve the meat for longer. Netherlands cancer researchers have done some amazing research into nitrates preservatives.
    I'd suspect it's not just nitrates but other things we've changed in our diets.
    It's hardly heard of in Japan so there's been alot research there aswel.

      Diet definitely has a lot to do with all the illness we see in modern society. It's sad. 😢

    I'm sorry to hear your loss it's always hard. I like the new Hornet Evo, but atm I'm in Vietnam, and things here that are imported are way overpriced. Though I will get one, I think I will wait to my next Japan trip for 164,000 yen it's a bargain, thanks for the video.

    I wonder if the aluminum chassis that is available for the OG Hornet will work? That would solve the battery issue. I wanted this car, but the lack of battery options kind of dulls the shine.

    • @poorboysrc
      @poorboysrc  2 дні тому +1

      I'd have to take a closer look at it to see if it could work. 🤔

    Do you think it could compete with the handling and durability of modern cars like the GROM series on my backyard track? I don't need another Hornet shelf queen! For reference, my "vintage" Manta Ray build definitely competes...

    • @poorboysrc

      I think being 2WD, it's going to have a hard time keeping up with anything 4WD. It'll be super fun, but have a tough time keeping up.

    Can you please send me dimensions of the lunchbox body shell...
    I am about to buy a lunchbox and want to throw on a lexan body... Need your help to work out what body will fit...
    Also do think a mini cva will work and fit well???
    It's going to be a good runner for my friends to use....

      @poorboysrc  2 дні тому

      Yeah man, what specs do you need? Just length/width?
      Mini CVA's will be too short. 65-70mm is good for the front and 75-80 for the rear is pretty standard. 👍🏻

    Doesnt make the iconic hopper buzz anymore. Grasshopper tyres are a bit longer lasting on tarmac. My hornet has the china alu chassis, this has room for a full size lipo. Maybe they can be swapped on the evo too.

    • @poorboysrc

    Good you held off on the 3s battery, I think that was a wise choice 👍🏻 Also nice to see Tamiya re-inventing a classic to at least some kind of drivable state 😂 Looking forward to the Honda City Turbo ‘Willy’s Wheeler’ that’s due next year.

    Cool build, and run. I have a mixed feeling on this car, with the improvements, it kinda lost a bit of what makes them (original Grasshopper and Hornet) "special". We are never happy but would have preferred a Super Hornet 😊 Take care 🤝

      Good for you, brother! Many of us dread the procedure, but everyone I know that's had it says the same thing. It's not too bad.
      I just made the song with AI. The lyrics can get a little wacky, so its really just supposed to be a fun AI song. 😂
