Re: Would you have an electric car if you had the money for a new car and were in the market for one?

Yep. Work for VWFS so have gone Audi Q4 for my next car. Took one home the other night and it was great. 280 miles off a charge, mileage was realistic estimate over a 27 mile commute each way. I can live with 280 miles range off a charge easily.

Re: What bike are you thinking of buying next ? What's the shortlist ?

I have a Monster 821 which ticks a lot of boxes for me ( hence why I bought it obviously!) but I must admit I do find myself perusing RE Interceptors quite a bit these days. I think I’d quite like one of those for more sedate bimbles.

Re: Tamiya Grasshopper, new RC car day.... Build thread.

Just tried a couple of other photos. Same 90 degree change when uploading. Well that’s me not bothering with any photos then! Odd. First forum I’ve used where that happens. :roll: 8-)

Ok that’s weird. I took this photo on an iPhone in portrait mode. Yet it rotates it 90 degrees when uploaded.
I’ve left it so you can see I’m not going mad. This photo is defo the right way up when I took it and on my phone.

Re: Tamiya Grasshopper, new RC car day.... Build thread.

Just clocked the pinion comment. I wouldn’t run it on the one from the 380. I remember when I was 14 I wrote to Tamiya in Japan and got them to send me the correct pinion for the Grasshopper with the 540 fitment. They sent a great pack back though bless ‘em :thumbup:

Re: Tamiya Grasshopper, new RC car day.... Build thread.

Cool. The 540 makes a lot of difference! It is strange the two pics I took of the Neo Scorcher were the only ones that were upside down. I tried in the trial zone some other pics, and they were fine.

Re: Tamiya Grasshopper, new RC car day.... Build thread.

Does the Grasshopper still come with a 380 motor or is it now a 540? I had in one the 80’s and it had the 380 motor. It was so slow compared to mates Hornets it was untrue! Moved to a Hotshot. They were ace! Now running a Neo Scorcher with a few hop ups. Updated suspension and steering (the blue all...
