Return of the Frog!

First introduced in 1983, the 2WD racing buggy Frog made a huge splash with its eye-catching design and high performance running. The Frog now makes a comeback, updated for a new age, but with its basic structure essentially unchanged. Preserving its characteristic space frame, the oil dampers for trailing-arm type rear suspension have been updated to diaphragm type. Rear drive shaft features dogbone type joint for secure power transmission. Sleek polycarbonate body remains the same, while 3-piece wheels feature front grooved and rear spike tires for excellent off-road running.

2WD Chassis Packed with Innovation

Electric R/C racing buggy features ABS space frame and nylon suspension and bumper for a lightweight yet rugged form that is perfect for off road running. Battery is held in ultra-low position, giving this car the stability and weight balance to handle rough terrain and wild jumps. Advanced 4-wheel independent suspension composed of front double wishbone type featuring in-board spring and durable steel radius arm. Rear trailing arm type features horizontally mounted aluminum cylinder oil dampers for effective shock absorbtion. Sealed differential gearbox ensures high speed cornering, while full gearbox ball bearings and 3-step gear ratio secures maximum transmission efficiency.

What is the "limiting" factor of this edition?
Asked by Balu on 16th August 2016

It's a limited production run. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Hi, do you construction kits - say The Frog from Tamiya come with a remote control device, I am looking for a sort of bundle. This would be my first car to assemble, thanks
Asked by James on 16th April 2020

No these are just kit only.

We do list combo packs including the required items

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hi could you convert the Frog to run brushless, if so what would I need and how much would it cost. Thanks Tim.
Asked by Tim on 26th December 2021

Yes, these take standard 540 size motors so a brushless setup like say HW38010203 would bolt straight in.

 

However... I'd be wary of shaking the frog to bits - these are a retro kit, and sticking a high power modern motor in there would be at your own risk...!
