Tamiya The Frog 58354 1/10 Electric RC Buggy Kit w/o ESC

Tamiya The Frog 58354 1/10 RC Car

The legend that is Tamiya was built in the 1980's on their retro RC buggies and especially the instantly recognizably white and pink The Frog from 1983.

The 1/10 scale buggy is rear-wheel drive with a space frame chassis crafted from ABS for a rigid, durable and light construction to benefit handling and performance. The battery is placed very low in the car, to lower the center of gravity as much as possible, providing the car with a very planted feel, very capable in the corners.

The suspension on the car is very well constructed with steel radius arms and fully independent suspension on all four wheels. There's double wishbones with inboard springs at the front and trailing arms at the rear with horizontal aluminium oil dampers at the rear. The polycarbonate body gives the perfect eighties RC buggy look, and is very sturdy and durable when chrashing.

Tamiya The Frog is an incredibly fun, entry-level RC buggy kit, that is very well-suited to both newcomers wanting something fun and simple, as well as nostalgics wanting to relive their youth. A real classic!

Note: The car is delivered without an ESC. We recommend a Tamiya TBLE-02 or a Hobbywing QuicRun 1060.
