Cant wait to get home to watch the video. I work at a company that does not use any Microsoft Products.

is it down? i get a something like a error message in japanes [xx(]

[SonicCJ5]

I got the same error but after it was translated it was asking me to install internet explorer 6 and Windows media player 10. I can't do that on the host I am on. Need to wait until I get home.

[Typhoon]

Works fine for me. Don't see the point in changing the Frog rear damper mounts, saving a few cents??

Sweet - The frog looks "identical" to the original..

What a bad driver []

You need the latest MS Internet explorer to view..

[Wireless]

The rear shocks themselves are actually different IIRC.

I noticed that too. The rear shock bodies look longer.

The old NGK stickers looked better too than the new ones. Copyrights........

The Frog is the business, will be getting one the first day I see them in the shop here.. oh and the Top Force too!!

rough translation of the host *I am not a translator, this is a rough idea of what he is saying, my Japanese is still weak.

"Here we are at the Plastic model and radio controlled show from Tamiya!, there are lots of truely fun things here, Let's go, let's go!!

pause... "This doesn't look like a car What's is it?"

the man says "Well, you see, about 20 years ago, in 1983, The Mighty Frog was made by Tamiya to become an offroad buggy. (then he says something like...) "Amongst the people who used to use Radiocon 20 years ago, this is the number pick offroad buggy to make a comeback... " "the other 3 cars here are the Thundershot, Topforce and Manta Ray, these are good, and will compliment the Mighty Frog, which they came after. Taking them to the offroad will be fun"

while using the frog she says "It's a little disorientating. wahh!!"

I only offer a basic idea of what is being said, if anyone else would like to translate it perfectly, please do, but I see that no one has yet...

Do you have any idea as to when the Frog will be for sale, and do yo have any info for the Top Force also?

[Japanscaledriver]

they don't really say in that link, but I think it is December here in japan for the Frog, it may be before that for the others, I will be getting the TF and Frog, I had a Manta Ray back in the day, but always wanted a TF. On a side note, inthe video the frog suspension seams to work well... and was interested that they didn't show the other 3 driving

[SonicCJ5]

I spoke with a LHS in Massachusetts he told me his distributor said January. It would have been better to release them before christmas.

[DJTheo]

Yes, unfortunately it seems like last year with the Hornet, Tamiya cares only to fullfil the Japanese market for Xmas. [V] Good that ebay exists though []

Cheers
