Tamiya Grasshopper upgrades : Rear suspension

thingiverse

Grasshopper was (almost) everyone's child-time dream car, which did not require any sophisticated shock absolving system...as the name indicates, it hops a lot. I had no complain with that, being it is the character that makes grasshopper a grasshopper. I have seen really many modification references and challenges to make grasshopper a better controllable, less hopping vehicle. I also have gone all the way down to bottom, converting to a full-independent double wishbone, plus lot of many other mods. However, after many years of trial-and-error, I kind of came to certain balancing point, where too much modification is not meant for hopper. (I know hornet is enhanced hopper and may be it's the ultimate version for these chassis) I wanted to build something staying to the original characteristics and concepts of the hopper and give minimum upgrades which will make this vehicle slightly better running and hopefully a little bit stronger.
