Episode Synopsis

When using the Tamiya Hornet R/C buggy top rear shock extender mounts on the Grasshopper, the brass tube bushings that protect the shock eye are just wide enough to make the Grasshopper's ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) body shell no longer fit. We dig deep into why you have to use these brass tubes along with four distinct fixes for this roadblock when upgrading your friction dampers on your Grasshopper to CVA (Constant Volume Adjustable) oil-filled shocks or Hornet shocks in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast.
