Having purchased one, long ago, when they were first introduced, I'm so very happy to have bought a new one. Building it with the nephew brought back many happy memories and provided a few 'teaching moments'. The yellow wheels and white coil springs contrast against the black body nicely and the included electronic speed control works great. The lil old 380 motor even seems faster than I remember them being. There has been at least one improvement over the original... only the Hornets used to come with the small 'pin' between the axles. I liked it enough that I had to buy another one for myself and have been having a ball racing around with him. A fabulous first 'real' RC car for any age group. Play time with the new 3000 mA plus batteries is measured in hours not minutes. Now if I could only get the old gang back together and restart the 'Grasshopper Racing League' again!Read full review

there is a reason tamiya is still producing the original grasshopper/hornet series, despite many "improved" versions that have come and gone over the years. there is just something very endearing about such a crude, simple design that not only brings back nostalgia for the early 1980s, but it also forces you the user to use your imagination to improve its "handling" (what there is of it). they remind me of the 1950s hot rods, you stick a big motor in a simple, light frame. then hold on for the ride!
