타미야 그래스호퍼 그레이 에디션 만들기 타임랩스 Tamiya Grasshopper Grey Edition Build Timelaps w/ 3D Printed Custom Parts

[@celsofernando5543]

I still have the original Grasshopper from the 80s to this day. Everything works. Nice!!

[@HumbleVintageRC]

good for you! original stock hopper is the real ultimate beauty!

[@pancudowny]

I love the bell-crank mod for the steering, and how many factory/regular production parts are used in this build... it's very cost effective! Would love to see the same for the "big sister" of the Grasshopper/Hornet chassis: The CW-01. (Lunchbox/Midnight Pumpkin/Pajero....) So let me know if you conceive of such upgrades... because there's a group of us out there that'd love to make such great handling improvements to our little "wheelie-prone" mini-monsters.😊

[@HumbleVintageRC]

Thank you for another excellent comment! Surprisingly, I didn't have chance to own a CW-01 chassis yet....I will absolutely get one someday, hopefully within this year and see what I can do!

Great project! Are you going to share your 3D files? It would be amazing

[@HumbleVintageRC]

I am sharing all my files thru thingiverse check out my links below or my links in the channel!

I am suprised that you are using PLA, have you had the chance to experience with PETG or ABS filament? Thank you for your videos!

[@HumbleVintageRC]

Thank you for the comment. I tried ABS when I first entered 3D printing hobby. ABS was very difficult to print and output was some what too soft? PETG also I tried. Output was acceptable but still it was diffcult to print properly. I realized the PLA became better as years pass by, and I now use PLA+ from eSun brand, which is more flexible and durable than standard PLA, which I am pretty satisfiled with it.

Another high quality design and build 👍

Looks nice in grey 🙂

Would it really be wrong to put bearings at BOTH ends of those trailing arms, or are ones that'll fit at the mounting/locating end just that hard to source? I ask because I recall in discussion of using Del-Alum bushing in automotive suspension pieces, one of the aspects had in their application was how their "slipperiness" and inherent lack of torsional resistance caused the rate of whatever suspending springs were employed to become more apparent, thereby affecting a suspension's tuning & effective ride height. 🤓

[@HumbleVintageRC]

Hi! thank you for the comment! I am afraid I don't fully understand your technical knowledge^^; Reason I use plastic bearing in the chassis-arm connection is only that part do not require too much rotation, rather moves in just limited angles, so metal bearing wasn't really required, that's what I thought. And I also had too much left over plastic bearings^^

[@pancudowny]

@@HumbleVintageRC Just a thought.🙂

Do you have a Link for the STL 3d printed files? I cannot see any link in the video description.

really good job

thank you! really appreciate your comment!

[@wavewong4849]

@@HumbleVintageRC You also did a great job with the steering component modification. This modification is more reasonable than the original one.😀

Man, Korean sounds like Japanese sometimes. Just a few of the words. This a really good design and I like the result. Did you do a vid on the front steering set up? I wouldn't mind seeing how you did that. Also, did you get any bump steer in your design?

[@HumbleVintageRC]

Many thanks! yes Japanese and Korean pronounces very similar^^ Please check link below I did the vid on the steering. I am not sure bump steer was big issue in hoppers, however my converted ones do not have bump steer issue that much I think kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5yvl594nJl6mdE

[@Pablo668]

@@HumbleVintageRC Yeah the reason I ask is that a while back I designed pieces to mount TRF201 parts (gearbox, suspension front and back) to a Hornet tub chassis. The biggest problem was bump steer up front that I just couldn't get rid of. That and how to mount shocks up front.

They should make a gray edition and make the rear end just like yours.
