My elderly neighbor was gifted a grasshopper recently but he couldn’t put it together and gave it to me instead. I’m going to build it for him and give it back ready to run for his birthday, I’m pretty excited to see his reaction. 😊 Reminds us of better times.

My first drive, my father owned a heap and use to track race. If it's the original 80's made model I would recommend keeping it boxed and buying a newer lipo battery car for him. Lipo last longer and some of these unboxed cars will fetch over $10,000 in 20 years.

My very first experience with a hobby grade RC was the Tamiya Sand Scorcher. My cousin had one and I was jealous. He never let me drive it. I wanted one so badly but parents couldn't afford one. Fast forward a few years later and I saved up enough to buy the Subaru Brat for $69 and bought the cheapest 2 stick Futaba and 1 battery. The thing had bushings and the mighty 380 motor. The only mods I could make are the free ones. I put those milk caps over the wheels and made my own hub caps to keep the dirt out. Hahaha. What a blast. I still have that very car but is in pieces. It will be restored someday.

Yep it's got to be restored and as a bonus, I would keep the vintage Subaru Brat and also buy a new rerelease Subaru Brat as a daily runner. And what even better is nowadays Tamiya rerelease kits are nowhere near as pricy as back in the 1980's 👌@@kougerat5388

Hey Mark, so of course I selfishly would love that grasshopper. Im 35 years old now as of 3 days ago and my very first RC car was given to me by a local hobby store owner when I was 6 years old and I played with it and did some racing with it until i was like 10 when my radio had a malfunction and lost control of the car. It sped off into traffic where it was completely destroyed. That car was an original Grasshopper. Now to be fair, I would probably build that car and shelf it because of the nostalgia bit who knows. Things change.

Hello, great catch 😮 Wonder if Doug noticed (probably... 😉) that the Hotshot looks like an early batch Mk1, at least it looks like it has the very rare 3 holes steeper bumper and it's kinda another graal RC Car. Basically, in 1985, the early batch of HS came with that bumper and then was relatively quickly revised with the newer bumper (mostly the same as the re-re one, except I think the re-re has the recycle logo). It would need 100% confirmation of course. Great video 👍🤝

@douggilreath1984 3 ай бұрын

Rere does have the logo, just checked. Didn’t know that about the early release and the three hole bumper. I did notice the steeper bumper, can’t wait to blow it apart and give it a good scrubbing.
