This is a flea market find that was in pretty bad shape. I've decided to clean it up, replace broken parts and install all the Frog hop-ups I've gathered over the years. It had severe front end damage but thankfully the chassis is still intact and straight. The gear box was overlubed and just a mess. It had some weird paddle tires in the rear made by BuddyL.




I've installed a new transmission with full bearings and a the robinson racing ball diff/axle/spur gear set that is pictured in my showroom. Also, I installed the CRP front shock kit. I added a CRP bumper along with a new set of wishbones. Also, a set of gold plated CRP wheels are wearing 're-re' tires from Tower Hobbies. Most of the plastic parts were severly worn. The rear shocks are in pretty good shape so I just cleaned and rebuilt them. Amazingly, it came with full bearings except for the rear axles. Too bad they were gritty and useless, had to replace them with new ones.

Nice Frog! I have a pair of the rear tires that it came with, are these the ones you say are made by BuddyL?

You know, I don't remember. They could be the ones in the bottom picture.
