Tamiya Frog....Legend!
Hi guys, l got this beautiful buggy recently I just had to have a Frog in my little collection, absolutely one of the Legendary buggies that deserves to be in the mix of the all time greats from tamiya!
I will run this too at some point for a big dose of magic nostalgia! Back in the day in the early 80s l started with the awesome Brat that became a Frog and then l really started loving and doing well on the track at my local club! Very happy memories come to me from this buggy for sure! rere Frog but who cares! Tamiya did a great job keeping this rere true to the original! This is ballraced, esc, black sport tuned motor. A massive fan of the Boxart of the frog too that's right up there with the best too in my opinion! Thanks for looking in and any comments welcome cheers James.

Lovely model and pictures once again, even the black sports tuned is tricky to get now!

Looks great! I'll have to get a Frog one of these days...

I keep breaking mine. But it does handle well and I enjoy it. Is it ok that it's an original and I bash it about while chasing my son's car?

Not sure which is better or the one I'll take.
The perfect background view or the car. You're a lucky lucky lad to have both. Nice one Maddie.

Another Tamiya classic added to the stable, well done. That's enjoying the beach in style

Lovely James, gee the Frog is such a Tamiya icon, it’s looks just scream Tamiya from the 80’s when all us kids first got introduced to the wonderful world of RC and Tamiya in particular. Great photos and location mate. Cheers, Kym

Can't beat the frog for its strange looks and the eye-catching box art scheme. Looks great my friend, I still have one part rebuilt and all original... was going to go full out restore but never got around to it so it remains in a box awaiting the day I get to it. Awesome pictures as always my friend

True legend! although that pink color always made me hesitate a little bit when I was young. Now I love it. Great photo's!

A true classic on a very nice photo background! Can it get better? Not really! No wonder TRF color later on was pink, too!
MAD-BEE
Yeah true, funny l was just looking at the MS DF03 the other day and thought how cool it looked!

I've never been a huge fan of the looks of the Frog, but I totally get the nostalgic appeal of it. Have you seen the Frog on 'Punky Brewster'?
MAD-BEE
Yeah l have woomagic lol brilliant stuff! Makes me feel old watching that though! I love the fact they put a stock boxart frog in the pits looking pretty!
Great advertising back then! She had a nice mod on that Frog front suspension too lol cheers mate.

Phenomenal addition to any collection and you did it proper justice! Great memories of me running my Hornet with three childhoods friends who had Frogs BITD.
MAD-BEE
Thanks mate and what an awesome rivalry the Frog & Hornet had back in the day!!

Gorgeous photos. You have some of the best locations for your pictures.

Thanks guys appreciate your great comments cheers.
Along with the mighty Frog being an icon for Tamiya, your build and superb background photos should be framed prints. These photos go to my favorites. Great job. Love your take on this.
