description  yeah, i got a frog project on the go, tryin to build one nice box art all stock for the shelf, only catch being i'm trying to stick to original stuff, no rerelease. so when i can i grab chassis, parts whatever i can, i am still mid build on my main frog, but thanks to the chassis i picked up this time last week off ukzz4iroc (nice one) i sorted out some parts which weren't good enough for my project and threw them together last night to build this, won't be using this one as the gear box is still slipping, and plan on using the other left over parts on a runner, will get a rerelease gearbox for that one, as i will be running it hard, droprop in some fancy electrics and see how it holds up against more modern buggys The only things left of ukzz4iroc s frog are the chassis frame, bumper and gear box, i added the front suspension that was missing replaced the front sway bars, replaced all the front set up, added the body posts (cheers john) nicked the nice white wheels for my project, the wheels came from my first frog purchase from a tc member, couple o years ago i bet, the rear tyres are troll i think, they came on my hopper off another member. i would n't mind collecting old hop up parts for this one, have to wait n see. the pic of the suspension in bits is up for all the people out there that don't own a frog or similar chassis, before i owned one i all ways wandered how the front suspension worked, so for those that don't know its a little hidden spring so heres a frog, not perfect but not bad especially as its made of spare parts, watch out for my nice one. cheers guys. peace . all comments more than welcome now get off the computer, the suns is shinning and i dunno bout you but my batteries are charged

I like the rear tires. Now not that easy to find.

yeah, all i done to this shell is give it a quick wipe down, the paint scheme is the work of the previous owner and yeah i really like it also.
