    Thanks. Yes, we were. Always a bit ”nervous” running older buggies, but I usually end up driving then harder than I planned too. Still, that’s what they’re for.

    Thanks – it is a real treat to drive on smooth sand, even with the little 380 motor….

    I really like this, it’s simple but imaginative at the same time. Looks great!

      Cheers :) I’ve not ran it yet. Once I sort the body mounts out though I will give it a try, see what it’s like :)

    Thanks! I really like the colour scheme too. The extras are just for looks. There is a hole in the front for a body post as I had used this shell on a Hornet. The fuel can is screwed on through that, so the hole is hidden.

    These are great fun. I don’t race it. It is my ”indoors car” as foam tyres don’t leave skid marks!

    Alitalia Grasshopper

      OrangeSport replied 1 year, 9 months ago

      I built this buggy specifically for running on the beach. It is ball-raced with a standard 380 (quick enough on the sand and long run times) and a nice simple theme for the body….

        Justin replied 1 year, 9 months ago

        Love the Alitalia theme. Works really well on the Grasshopper. Is the fuel & rope on there just for looks or is it to add weight to the front end for on the sand?

    Yes, I think they are very underrated. The fact that they are cheaper than the Grasshopper and Hornet just shows what suckers we are for nostalgia!

    OrangeSport posted an update in the group Group logo of What was your first RC Car?What was your first RC Car?: 1 year, 9 months ago

    My local club raced 1/12 stock cars, mini stocks, “carpet racers” and 1/10 buggies, all indoors.

    I got a Mardave Mini Stock, and when the outdoors buggy track was built I got an Apache, then a Grasshopper and finally a Hornet. I have a few bits of each of them I think, but not the actual cars. I do now have at least one example of each though,…[Read more]
