Grasshopper II The Sequel to a Legend!
Here is my Grasshopper II.......I started this Sunday evening.....then I got into a rhythm and couldn't put her down!!!
I have painted her with TS-26 pure white, and I have used Tamiya Grey primer underneath.
She will spend her life as a shelf queen....but I may occasionally run her in nice dry conditions.......................on astro turf preferably lol :)
I have installed a stock 540 motor and she uses the kit MSC and a throttle servo.
I will now build my 2 Grasshoppers....one in box art white (Shelf Queen) and the other in Candy Green (Runner).....
EDIT : The driver will be painted and installed soon.

Wow, great work on that one. The paintjob looks awesome and those old electronics ensure that nice classic look. Well done.

Very clean looking and I should have kept my Super G version that I made up.

Looks great. Somehow this one of the nr. 2's that turned out better than the first one imo.

Nice shelfer and definitely an under-represented kit.

Nice looking Hopper 2 mate! This buggy had big shoes to fill back in the day! I think it did alright!

Very nice. I'm really starting to like these. I'm looking forward to seeing the Candy Green when it is built.
