I like the re-issue stuff, obvs, and I like the Hornet / Grasshopper, they look great. However even compared to the later 80s stuff they are so, so basic. I'd build one and chuck it in a cabinet, but if I wanted something to bash for similar money I'd go modern (yes and soulless) or re re monster truck with a comparatively hot motor and some LiPo batteries...
Some people reckon the 2020 re re will be the Vanquish. How cool would that be...

I'm probably going to go for a Grasshopper, with a wheel trigger.
(Found an online store in Scotland selling an all in one kit for £110, which is insanely cheap as far as I can tell (will be throwing a few extra ££ on bearing upgrades and a fast charger)
Not planning on getting serious, they look fun for buzzing about the garden/ park.
Reckon I can attach a go pro to the top of it?
@Howard thanks for your input, I appreciate it (if ignoring your comments on the retro reissues...)
