My Frog Hop ups to date

[580frog41]

Hi everyone, thought I'd post up a pic of my Frog Reissue with a comprehensive listing of parts and No's. I've tried to keep some of the original look and not go wild, the body is the main one that I use for general use and therefore isn't 'show' quality. Hope you like it, special thanks to all of you that have messaged me with links and answers to my many questions!

thank very much for this, having all the info in one place is great, i often get need to get the info to order up some parts then give up after searching for a bit. very nice frog btw your persistence has paid off. how have you noticed the difference in driving/handling? and if you don't mind a little about how where you drive also i.e. mud grass tarmac etc, cheers

That's a brute of a Frog. Looks wild! By the way, you can safely remove the decal glue residues with a piece of cloth and a little WD-40.

wow, cheers mate, will give it a try. It's been no end of fun scanning ebay for all the parts. You guys have been great helping me with all this stuff!

Its pretty crazy with the new motor, but am considering some new wheels after I wear these ones out! I've found the bigger motor in wet gravel is pretty pointless as it keeps trying to do 360 degree turns!! in sandy/ mud it kicks ***, but I've not tried it on concrete just yet but intend to tomorrow

Looking good!

Cheers! I have those items you listed earlier in my saved items already ha ha!!

[skywhelp]

looks like a flyer, i'm sure any frog would struggle on wet gravel when you get a frog on a surface it likes it's pure fun looking forward to your shakedown report cheers

Cheers mate, yeah they do look a bit wonky but I'm pretty sure that's some weird photo imagery! The Antennae flags were on it when I won it off ebay, I've got some more photos coming up soon - thanks

Updates: Go faster blue tape! I thought this was a great way to tidy up my blotchy paint efforts with the Polycarbonate spray

[skywhelp]

forgot, top job on the drivers helmet, is that the same shell in white another or a new one? it looks like red around the front wheel arches and tape. are you spraying the inside or out? i have a very moody frog shell so good to know

Hey skywhelp, yeah its the same shell but I'd tried to paint around the front arches and it went a bit wrong - enamel paint. I sprayed just the outside as it was the ready made version in pink n white, I kept the pink but thought I'd go green

[skywhelp]

thanks again for that. i had such a mare with mine that i got a factory shell in the end, i might try to salvage it one day, so it's god to see yours didn't notice that it was on the outside. pinstripe went well to cover up the blur.

i used tamiya masking tape on the scorcher shell i've got on my buggy champ. i got very clean lines, i would use it again and say it's worth the cash, i even cut it down to get the thin lines on the wings/arches and the lines stayed crisp!. but you can use normal, masking tape for the bulk of the area to save a bit of money

More fun!
