the Hopper is back in action again. new cva's and hornet front end, cva's on the rear (thanks Edou), although i still want to use the super hornet rear bottom shock mounts but they work at the moment. plus a carbon fibre roof. :woohoo:
oh, and i cut away the rear of the body so the cva's fit. looks ok i reckon
happy now :)

made some new side bumpers for the Hornet today, lower profile than standard but as its going to be a tarmac toy it shouldnt get battered as much as an off roader.
question is.....leave them copper and polish them and then cover in clear heat shrink, or paint them, black or white even, then heat shrink them.
they are made of copper pipe by the way :)

Nice! I'd go black on them btw... ;)
And what about a 23T motor for the tarmac racer maybe?
