My first R/C car The Frog
This is my very first R/C car The Tamiya Frog (or what is left of it) I got this car 22 years ago when I was 8 years old. I found it about one year ago in a box in my parents basement. I am starting to restore it into a runner again. I thought it was long lost and never to be found. Do you think I can save it? I also can't believe the original manual was in the box with it. I bought a 'box o Frog' on Ebay to help with the restoring. I was sold to me as a Frog but I think it is a Subaru Brat.

Well that's about as awesome as it gets! Still having the original first RC is priceless. Hey just a suggestion, if you haven't already restored this one, if this one were mine...I'd leave it exactly as it is or at least put it together as much as you can with only the original parts. My idea is that it's so priceless that it would make for a better display than to be restored and ran again. Kind of like a museum quality piece in your collection.

Yes tamiyaonebay, I think you are right this car is so messed up from the abuse I gave it as a kid. I have been collecting only vintage parts to restore it but there is almost nothing left on it is good. Maybe I should glue what is left of it to a piece of wood and hang it on my wall as a piece of abstract RC art, LOL
