Ha, just kidding...somebody might have done this before, but maybe not with as much grace!!!!!!! Enjoy my new Hybrid project!

- RC10 donor chassis trimmed to fit bottom of the G.Hopper plastic frame
- Stealth trans with slipper
- gold painted driver helmet as a tribute to the original RC10
- Titanium steering tie rods, HA!
- HPI RC10 wheel set
- Litespeed heatsink/ motor plate (thanks mrlexan)
- custom fabbed t-6 aluminum transmission brace to tie into the Hopper
- original funky front suspension geometry for laughs (cant be too sophisticated!)

yea, I was inspired by the Grahoo on tamiyaClub, but wanted to really marry the RC10 and Tamiya together in a literal way!

I know isnt it hideous? I love how wacked out that camber is!!!!!!!! Its ridiculous, I am fully aware.

After running it I am sure I will be back to tinkering with it-

But if you look at the box art for a tamiya grasshopper I pretty much nailed the amount of positive camber shown on the box, LOL
