I also had this car back in the 80’s it was my first real r/c vehicle. Very nostalgic to see it again. I remember it having two heavy duty wire antennas on either side of the chassis that acted as a roll bar of sorts to protect the body in the event of a roll over. Great video 👍🏼

My first RC was the Frog back in the mid 80s, fond memories spending all our time in Beatties model shop, that's in great condition, the alloy plate and underside of the battery tray on mine were almost wore through lol That gear that was gunked up was probably where the other gear wasn't touching and was old congealed grease, And I think the Tamiya thread lock from back then was like a blue glue, it did smell great *LOL*

Great project car. I remember as a kid always tearing down the gear box. I ran my Brat all the time cause it had the posi gear. I just built a rerelease Monster Beetle and put a MIP ball diff in it. I'm just gonna run it in the basement. I had tons of old screws and nuts when I restored tons of cars in the early 2000's. I replated all in gold, silver and black. Still have tons for projects. Love this old stuff.

Nice vintage frog, good to see a frog in great condition. Tamiya upgraded the gearbox quite a bit on the re-release, so no hex drive, Dog bones do help and I didn't notice the plate that meshes with the gearbox, in the re-release, but I could be wrong, as I've only built one of these myself a few years back. And yeah it's a headache of a gearbox to put together. Gravity Just holds everything in place Just before you screw everything down. Oh and mine did come with bearings for the gearbox but none for the car. And I also subbed. You're channel is very interesting and you have a good collection of tamiya. :)

Fantastic Glen , so makes memories ordering this from the catalog with Acoms radio set . If I remember a few things the rear shocks came with various piston plates with different amounts of holes it had twin steel aerials . And manual speed controller gave me no end of trouble and was brutal on the gearbox and drive train . I guess fitted with the more powerful motor it could be worse. Go electronic speed controller .

My 1st car was a Frog xmas 1984,after discovering your channel a few weeks ago I wanted to get that and the hopped up Fox and Boomerang which I raced as a teen back from mothers.Rather miffed to find out she dumped them years ago.I was so disappointed when the terrible hex half shafts stripped after a couple of weeks,because of this it hardly got used and became near mint shelf art.

You don't have to pull an upright to fix your steering drag link. Just pull the screw from the servo saver, and use a screwdriver to pop the ball link off the steering knuckle (either one), and you will be able to manipulate either steering drag link bar off, turn it one half to reinstall on the desired side, and re-secure the ball joint, and put the servo saver screw back in. My first RC car was a used Frog back in about '87. Came with a Futaba twin stick transmitter. The eventual reason I sold it was because the transmission kept skipping gears, and I couldn't figure out why. I moved on to a Fox by then, which was a much faster and better engineered buggy. Years later I started racing on road flat chassis cars. I still have my original Fox, though it's in pretty tough shape. Well loved you could say.

There was a slight anomaly on some of the frog diff gears that you had to flip the diff gear the other direction or it would rub the case slightly. This would also be a great time to shim (CRP shims or equivalent) the diff carriers to prolong the life of the bevel gears. Get a ultrasonic cleaner with just water+soap (no purple or green cleaners as they will mess up the aluminum) would work great at getting all the nooks and crannies. The brass spacer is correct for the front bumper mount to suspension.

I had some big issues with it too though with those hex drive shafts( many will remember those damn things) and the gear box was a bit weak especially if fed decent power through it! so be careful with that gold motor Glenn 😉👍 Yeah big fan of the Frog and family!

If you flip your manual to the parts page at the back, and look in the "screw bag B" section, behind the 3x20 round head screw it does actually says "B2" as stated by the screws in the manual as you shows :-) I really don't use which bag to use section in the the manual, I go by the letter and number. Works for me :-) Frog is one of those I have never liked or owned, sold the first edition of a re-re Brat I got in a trade some years ago, but I do own both BF and MB x2. For some reason the ORV chassis has never been my thing. But the Frog do grow on me, so I may get one in the future :-)

Interesting stuff, and you can tell you enjoyed it! I had a Brat back in the day, loved the body but was (sacrilege alert) kind of disappointed with the chassis, mostly for being so unlike a real car but also for being so massively overbuilt. It hardly helped the underpowered motor and battery back then... BUT! It definitely works better for me with the frame-hugging Frog body shell on it. And I've loved the look of those rear spikes since forever. That Frog is going to look ace. Nice one. 👍😀

This was the model featured on an episode of Punky Brewster in the 80's... She was supposed to have won a tea set but the store thought she was a boy and sent her the Frog instead. It was that show that opened my eyes to real RC cars and I started saving my money immediately. I eventually saved up about $200, a lot for an 11-year-old with a propensity for candy and baseball cards, but was still nowhere near where I needed to be for a new kit and everything else. Fortuitously I ran into a guy selling a used, fully-modified Blackfoot and all his other gear from the trunk of his car at Little Caesers pizza, and the rest is history.

Aren't the springs with the plastic caps the front shocks, and the springs are the "arms" that goes to the front bumper?

I'd probably get strung up by the purists out there. I have several vintage Tamiya buggies, and I just remove the period electrics from them, and I'm not overly shy about putting re-re parts in them either. I like to get them running in fair to good condition and not worry too much about authenticity. Having said all that, this buggy is turning out quite nice. Edit: Oh, and I'd turf those old hex drives as far as I could throw them.

Hey can you use that metal plate for the ESC because that would help in its cooling off itself.

You know those arms were talking about their I also think they seem to be like anti-sway bars I think they do double duty on the front suspension.

I had a Frog back in the 80s. I HATED the gearbox. I could never get that clunky thing to work right. The rear axles would always come apart too. Biggest PIA car I had. I had more fun with my Hornet.

I thought you were a Tamiya surest and I am to an extent I just want to put modern things at it sometimes it's very hard to get from Tamiya because the stuff is expensive but if I can get the right motors for certain cars I would like that.

If possible, you should try and run it with the original MSC (it looks to be in reasonable condition with no corrosion: the contact plates just need a clean) for that ultimate retro analogue RC experience. You can't beat the sound of those old speedos, even if they were hazardous when the BEC nicad power ran low and the car suddenly took on a mind of its own!
