Ah, it's letting me know it's still a Grasshopper. :S

Just some blisters on the shell though and a tiny bit of scuffing on the bumper. :cheer:
Shows the setup is solid with the carbon knuckles, 3mm custom tie rods and servo saver.
A normal Grasshopper would surely have suffered from a broken knuckle or bent tie rod.

:P Some little tamiya transformations
- rear hornet body supports
- full lunchy diff
- GH wheeles (furnished in the sale)
- shorted front bumper.
- and Willy is the new driver (need some make up)

Now the rear is higher (like my beetle)

Tomorrow first run :silly:

Cool video!
I like the cutting between "two" cameras, makes the video much more enjoyable to watch. :y:

Looking good there, Flo. B)
Why no suspension (I see it)?

Thanks Lars, thought it would make the vid a bit livelier. :)
Movie Maker's pretty cool but these camera switches are a bit tricky to put together because you don't have control over too many frames (even though there's about 20-30 a second). I found that putting the particular clip temporarily to the slowest speed makes more of them available so it can be timed better.

:cheer:

Some on board shots in between would also be great. Don't think high res cams cost much these days...
And I saw a video earlier where someone used a head cam, then you can just look at the car and always get the right images!

:silly:

Some video editing enthusiasm there...

Shocks have left their bath today and will go on a travel tomorrow. ;)
Was planning to have sent them already but got caught up in the tyre stuff late in the afternoon (so I forgot). :blush:
