Ribbit! My Restored Frog
Hey y'all,
This is my original Frog restoration that started life as a Frogfoot. Frog parts and a Blackfoot chassis. The only re-re parts used were wheels/tires, body (window on/off switch cut out) and a mix of re-re and reproduction sponsor decals. Any part replaced was with original parts bags to include fiberglass bumper plate, chassis pieces, suspension arms, resistors and resistor plate, metal pressed bag and even the MSC rubber bag. All radio equipment is original and it's running with a AstroFlight Challenger 260 transmitter, receiver and servos. The motor is a Yokomo Peak Performance yellow can.
This was a fun little project as I've always wanted a Frog :)
What I started with: A Frogfoot

Pretty cool looking tires in the BEFORE shot. I almost didn't see that camo Grasshopper.
It is a good thing you got a Frog since you have the shirt already. Now go get this dirty.

Awesome Frog!!! Never was a fan of unrealistic buggies but I love frogs after buying one. Yours looks spot on! I like the shirt too

Excellent work. Now the Frog looks a perfect replica of the ones in the 80's catalogs!

Many thanks fellas for the nice comments. The gearbox was torn down today and rebuilt due to a stripped spur gear. She runs fantastic now and I'm a little bit saddened that this project has come to an end.
