Thanks my friend. Appreciate the views and am super glad you enjoy the Time Attack vids. My favorite to do for sure. Will have enough content to get us through most of the winter as well.

@@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC wicked man. I'm very new to RC. For some reason it was something I convinced myself from a young age was too expensive for me. Me and my son got a Deerc 300e off Amazon, and aside from the horrible clearances between all the gears it's been a lot of fun. I'm thinking about starting a grasshopper build soon or possibly a lunchbox. The build process and beautiful detail is super appealing.

I only found your videos in the last month or so but I have really enjoyed them. As someone who had no rc car exposure growing up until the 7th grade with a radio shack truck then in 10th grade with a nitro evader it really makes me wish this hobby was something I could have experienced the fun I have since found. My most vintage car is a super hornet that I found in a thrift shop. Keep up the fun and good look with your channel

Great video as always! You could see on the track the Hornet didn’t look as composed as the Grasshopper. Your explanation makes complete sense and I can’t wait to see if the 380 in the hornet is the magic combo. Footage was rockin and enjoy the fall!

Thanks so much! Was a loaner gopro 8...so hopefully I can get it again or find a sale on one.I tried one of those knock off ones but you need actual working image stability for the shot to look good. I was planning on the ultima rere next BUT have had more than one request for the Frog (so that will most likely be next).
@bradkalman23532 жыл бұрын
If the track had longer straights there would have been a major difference in time I'm sure the tires I do think add a little more control for that motor because they get better traction on that surface than the the grasshopper would and the RC elf got me a super hot shot. Hope you'll be getting one of those and putting it along the track see what it does if you have one.
@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC2 жыл бұрын
The space and size of the track had an impact for sure. I do have a few of the 4wd cars. Plan on running them at some point. Love Hotshot series cars.

@@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC see when I was a teenager I had this car and I just wanted it back just like I wanted my hornet and the fighter book the RX memorial edition which actually isn't quite the same car but is the same car because of the body color and rims that are gold I would buy the fighter buggy RX original version again even though it had friction difference but it handled just as well if not better than the super hornet because of the way the shocks lay on the car in the back.
