      Hi Guys,
      Anyone modded or played with those homie hopper cars? eg, different bodies, wheels, lowering etc? Ive got one with four motors in it and it sits so high! compared to other hoppers.

      Yeah jump up and down, and you can do heeps of tricks with the one that i have. Like jumps side to side, back to back or any way you want. But they do not have steering or and forward or backward movement. That is why i put this post on, as i need someone who has modified theirs.:approve:
