Papad617 2 Posted September 25, 2020 (First post). I recently got back into RC by purchasing an Arrma Notorious, and also dug out my original Frog from storage, which I think I got in 85 or 86.....hasn’t been used in 20+ years at least. After some tinkering I have the servos working etc but I need a battery.....are there any batteries that will fit without me modding the car itself? I am trying to keep it intact if possible, for ol times sake any help is appreciated! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 356 Posted September 25, 2020 Any 6-cell NIMH battery such as this one is perfect for a frog. The frog will also be a fun contrast to the Notorious 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted September 25, 2020 6 cell NiMh - but you will need a charger that will charge NiMh , not an old NiCd only charger . Nice Frog - are you running a vintage speed controller in there ? . I like the rear wheel and tyre mod ( foam?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papad617 2 Posted September 25, 2020 Thanks for the help! Yes foam bolink tires from 85/86 as well..... it’s mostly vintage parts including the speed controller , except for a few screws and nots etc that I have had to replace to keep it together 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4595 Posted September 25, 2020 You can get round case 2S lipos too. I run these, they fit in a Monster Beetle so assume they would fit a Frog ok https://www.rchobbies.co.nz/gens-ace-2s-7-4v-4000mah-25c-classic-rc-car-lipo-battery-roar-with-xt60-connector/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqrb7BRDlARIsACwGad4M9gDQBk1RvuoQuDgL4UbjWqI3dL-O8XAXEUnj2S0ukEbJILTjovoaAqVDEALw_wcB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frog Jumper 3605 Posted September 25, 2020 As a person that completed re-built their original Frog with new re-re parts, etc. let me suggest this: clean up and rebuild your Frog exactly like it is now. Then buy a re-re Frog for bashing and driving... Terry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
