may i suggest you invest in part number d-8 from the rising fighter ,

teh rising fighter is same chassie as super hornet /grasshopper 11 etc

but the rising fighter has a great little upgrade namely part d-8 ,
its a reinforcement that clicks over the shock mounts and fits straight to the grasshopper 1

Thanks, that should be a very good upgrade.
The integrated shock mounts are typically a weakness on this kind of chassis.

new stone gaurd added to the rear and arial moved to old spotlight hole (thanks Edou for the inspiration). hoping to get the front wheel spacers by tomorrow so i can take it for a blast at the weekend.

That guard looks very cool. Some subtle but very nice mods again - also like the new black stripe on the roof!
Btw - the room you made for the rear dampers look very tidy too.

thanks, could also be used to strap his sandwiches on as well haha. black stripe was just to cover up the screw

Good looking and functional that stripe!
That black detail just gave me some inspiration for the build topic I'm posting next...

what are these axle springs, will they fit my grasshopper and will they make any difference? cheap enough if its a worthwhile mod...

These would be a necessary addition to the Hornet chassis mounts (rear axle stays) that are coming your way...


So I'd definitely get some - together they will be a good upgrade from the fixed Grasshopper axle.

thanks again Edou, ordered.

Might have some of the chassis mounts for you somewhere. Don't think I have the matching springs though...

I might follow your example for my own Grashopper build...
Great seller btw.
