TAMIYA RC 1/10 THE FROG 2005

TAMIYA RC 1/10 The Frog 2005 Re-Release 2WD Off-Road Buggy Kit

Bring one of Tamiya's legendary off-road racers back to life with the Tamiya RC 1/10 The Frog 2005. First introduced in 1983, this classic 2WD racing buggy returns with its distinctive space-frame design and proven off-road character, updated with diaphragm-type oil dampers and a dog bone rear drive shaft for dependable power transmission.

Please note this is an unassembled kit requiring assembly; it ships as a build-it-yourself kit and does not arrive pre-built or ready to run.

The Frog combines an ABS space frame with nylon suspension and bumper components for a lightweight yet rugged platform. A low-mounted battery helps provide stability and balanced handling over rough terrain and jumps, while four-wheel independent suspension, a sealed differential gearbox and three-piece wheels with front grooved and rear spike tyres complete the classic package.
