Tamiya Grasshopper upgrades : Rear suspension

thingiverse

Grasshopper was everyone's childhood dream car, requiring no advanced shock absorbing system. The name speaks for itself, hopping a lot is what makes Grasshopper a grasshopper. I had no complaint with that. I've seen numerous modification references and challenges to make Grasshopper more controllable and less prone to hopping. I took it to the next level by converting to a full-independent double wishbone setup, along with many other upgrades. However, after years of trial-and-error, I found a balance where too much modification is not suitable for this chassis. I wanted to build something that stays true to Grasshopper's original characteristics and concepts, adding minimal upgrades to make it run slightly better and stronger.
