Very nicely painted, no signs of run time, and was built hopped up with bearings and a 540. I guess I "need" a Candy Green version now 😂

Nice one todd. My dad painted our first grasshopper in metalic green ( in 84 I think because of the msc with the glass fuse) it was very nice.

I also have a Grasshopper painted metallic green, and I recently sourced an original MSC with fuse as well as a 380 motor that I plan to run on 6V

I think this wraps up today's mail haul:
* Fighting Buggy
* Futaba FP-2PBKA Magnum Junior (~1988/1990?)
* BBX Running Gear (when/if Tower ships it)

This should be a fun build - love these quirky Tamiya.

One more model to wrap up the week. I think I got a decent deal on this one, but at the cost of a non box art paint job. Good news is that the decals were never applied. So, source a body and do it up box art, or slap the decals on this one and call it a day? Ugh, the internal battle we put ourselves through

This body is really nicely painted. Keep it to run and take another body to do it boxart.
