CRP Froggy

Hi Chaps,
Not made an entry for a little while. I have got a lot of new cars to upload on here. But anyway this is my new Frog!!! I had one a while back but wasn't that interested in it and flogged it. I was scrolling about on the bay during the day when I found it listed as a Faulty Tamiya RC car. I looked at it and saw the CRP parts and thought now that looks cool. I love how original and vintage it looks. I was off out on my mountain bike (my other hobby) when the auction was ending. In the car I mentioned it to dad and he said 'ok I'll see what it's at when I get back'. An 1 and a half or so later whilst out in the woods I get a text saying 'won the Tamiya'. :D When it turned up I was well happy! I pulled it out of the box and wow it looked so period and vintage. Right up my street. :) The CRP hop-ups make it even cooler I think too. All for a smashing price too! ;) The 'restoration' if you can call it that didn't take long, I stripped the electrics out carefully, washed the chassis as it had been clearly run on dusty ground. Then cleaned and re-oiled the rear shocks, rebuilt the gearbox with lots of lovely thick grease, then refitted all the electrics and found a better set of original rear tyres. Nothing more than that as the patina makes it soo appealing to me. A bit of yellowing here and there. I had to set it up to a spare Acoms 227m MK2 handset I already had. I charged the original 1200mAh battery (weirdly took 1800mAh) :/ and had it running round the garden. WOW! I love it, not fast by today's standard but its like a time machine. Everything as it was back in the day nothing rere or modern at all. Perfect!!!!!!!! I am truly chuffed with this buggy and ive become a big fan of the frog!!! The hop-ups consist of CRP: Front bumper, rear bumper, chassis underguard, heavy duty front arms and rear diff bearing carriers!!!! Proper little hot rod Frog! aha ;) Thanks for looking, cheers Marcus
