Any Ideas?????

Ya, I've been watching Ebay like a hawk, almost won a bid on a brand new Grasshopper body, was beat by one dollar. Because they Grasshopper and Hornet are coming back out maybe will give a chance to order a body but right now my hobby store says that it may still be awhile for that...I will keep my eyes peeled...

Ebay sSeller jr-rc has a new hornet body for $26 buy it now in hi store. He's in Japan. I just ordered something from him. Shipping cost was reasonable (considering it was Japan) and lightning fast. That should fit on a Grasshopper.

If you wait until the Grasshopper is rereleased, that guy might get some Grasshopper bodies too.

As for the Super Hornet, try calling tamiya directly for that one. They only went out of production last year and some parts might be floating around.
