I picked up a Tamiya Grasshopper cheap from a thrift shop some months ago and finally found time to get it running. It's a fun lil thing! It came with a battery that's surprisingly still good, a remote and a charger. Think I gave $25 for the package.
First, what can you tell me about it?
Second, what's the #1 on the crystal mean? When I was a kid, the crystals actually had the frequency printed on them. This one just says "1," "AM," and "Rx," which I take to mean it's an AM receiver crystal with whatever band is assigned to #1. What frequency is 1?
Third, are there any upgrades for this particular car? I'd like to maybe swap the gearing to something a bit lower, and I don't do much sand driving so the tires could use a change.
Thanks!
Josh
