I haven't thought of those in years, I bought one for about $19 in the early/mid 80's and it was a total clone of the grasshopper, just without a radio control system. The box even used Tamiya's artwork and showed the servos and receiver etc. I actually converted mine to RC using some leftovers (mechanical speed control, S128 servos etc.) that I had from other cars. It was an OK backyard car, I have no recollection of what became of it.
