I have an old Tamiya Grasshopper kicking around somewhere. It's got an uprated motor (Just about wheelstands off the mark). Let me know if you are interested. I'm in NSW, tho.

I bought this one from Kmart (don't laugh :) ) on the weekend for under $150:

hey jeeps. which kmart?
A Jet Hopper???? hahahha, arent they collectors items now, I remember I used to have one about 15yrs ago, I'll see if i can dig it up, but you should be able to get something better than that for $100.

i have 2 jet hoppers, kinda a bit worn though. not a bad car.
one was my older bros, and, well, its rear axle stripped itself
the second was dads, and, my older bro wont let me have it.

so, if i was to buy an old jet hopper, a price lower than $100 would make more sense?

I don't think it's worth a real lot.......I'll try to dig it out over the weekend and post a few pics if u like. I'd guess postage to you would be about $12-$15.

Ok, dug it up at last. It's been well used and the current tyres on it have a few splits in the rubber(Still be ok for a while though). There's no batteries but all the radio gear is there. I'd be happy with $30 plus postage cost. The motor in it is worth about $25 as well. Pm me if you are interested.
Cheers

Check E-bay for a HBX Buggy.
There a Tamiya TL-01 Baja Buggy Clone... can be scored for Cheap..
I run the HBX Bonzer Truck and Love it... value for money is hard to beat and they go alright in the rough stuff
(Does it help that I run a Radio controlled Vehicle Forum)
