We review a popular hop-up for the Tamiya Grasshopper: front CVA oil shocks via parts from the GH2 (Grasshopper II) or the Rising Fighter or Super Hornet, and talk about the history of the Grasshopper, it's suspension problems in both the original and the re-re, and things you need to know about the upgrade, evaluating if it is truly plug and play, if you need to use grease, oil, spacers, or make an alterations to the Grasshopper's chassis or other suspension parts.
