Tamiya Grasshopper 2 (2017) - Hoppin' on Steroids (15T/3S Run)

▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
After the first run with the Grasshopper II in total stock config (bushings and 380 motor), it was time for a little bit more speed :) I installed a set of bearings, the dynamite 15t brushed motor and ran the Grasshopper II 2017 on 3S! Enjoy.

I just brought a super Hornet, should be arriving in the post soon.
I have the exact same Dynamite 15T 540 i was thinking about putting in it.
Was just going to run on 2S but if it can take it i wouldn't mind trying on 3S too.

Just wondering how did the gears hold up cause that's my main concern?

That Tamiya car is great, it's very reactive👍👍👍👍👍

I have a 540 sport motor on my hornet, and it is beyond fast, what motor is on your grasshopper?

[satorrotas]

Excellent bashing, great speed !!! Nice video !!

Holy Jesus. For a GH2, that is really fast.

I kind of need some advice:
I bought a Sport Tuned motor, an ESC, 12mm hex hub adapters, and fairly hard 1.9'' crawler tires + wheels. Do you think the crawler tires will work well, or will they just wear out too quickly? I know they're going to balloon, but a bit of tape can help with that... Also, will the Crawler tires make the car handle better than the stock Pin Spike rear tires? It will certainly go a bit faster bc the tires are bigger, but I don't know if it will improve the handling of the car (I mostly run it on forest paths with a small layer of loose rubble)
These are the ones I bought:

A bit faster than stock. Just slightly ;-) Nah, seriously, good run! Looks like a lot of fun!

I have a 1988 with titan 15T and 3s lipo battery. I like so much the upgrade.

Thats it i gotta get one. Been on the fence for a bit but theyre so simple cheap and fun. When i was a kid you die before runnin a grasshopper and now theyre cool. Also love a goldpan T.A. rc10

[tshellycreations]

Another great grasshopper video man!! Will about any 2s lipo fit these or does it have to be soft case? Thanks for the great rc action!

[ShenRC]

I think you may have over powered it LOL! that was awesome!

[abgecrawlt]

Hatte ich auch mal wo ich noch klein war😄👍

[jamurphy]

You got that Hopper hopping like CRAZY!! Sweet! 👍👍
But, if there was EVER a case for upgraded suspension, this is IT! These rereleases are so frigging COOL!
