I have a Traxxas T-Maxx - it went like sh*t of a shovel over pretty much any surface, but it overheated and died, I then re-built it and it died again - gave up in the end  >:(

Found my Grasshopper in the shed earlier this year... Loved those lime green wheels

I've got one of those. Bought for my Birthday by my good mate. Brilliant quality kit and a very accurate replica. Had it since July, not even opened the box!  :-[

This is the Tamiya M05 chassis version Dan :thumb: (the white ones mine, the other is Tamiyas correctly done version ::))
Its available as a kit, and most decent model shops will be able to get you a setup including battery, charger and radio gear.

actually we are going for a more off road kit that we build from scratch, the original Grasshopper looks to be a good bet, something I remember from my childhood..

anyway, afternoon off to go and get and start the build  :thumb:

Nice! Oh and don't forget to spray the inside of the shell and not the outer :thumb:
