I took a TAMIYA Grasshopper RC to the Dragstrip! The FASTEST Grasshopper in Aus. ‪@poorboysrc‬

Run 7 and my last of the Poor Boys RC Speed Run Challenge 2025 in the bag and my fastest speed yet. All the work came together. ‪@Chuckyshobbies‬ Is my brushed Tamiya Grasshopper the fastest in Australia? I think so, so I'm going to claim it. The goal was 100Km/h and I got so close, but I am not disappointed with 97.5Km/h (60.6Mph).
