TAMIYA 1/10 THE FROG 2WD OFF-ROAD BUGGY (NO ESC)
First introduced in 1983, the 2WD racing buggy Frog made a huge splash with its eye-catching design and high-performance running. The Frog now makes a comeback, updated for a new age, but with its basic structure essentially unchanged. Preserving its characteristic space frame, the oil dampers for trailing-arm type rear suspension have been updated to diaphragm type. Rear drive shaft features dog bone type joint for secure power transmission. Sleek polycarbonate body remains the same, while 3-piece wheels feature front grooved and rear spike tyres for excellent off-road running.
2WD Chassis Packed with Innovation
Electric R/C racing buggy features ABS space frame and nylon suspension and bumper for a lightweight yet rugged form that is perfect for off road running. Battery is held in ultra-low position, giving this car the stability and weight balance to handle rough terrain and wild jumps. Advanced 4-wheel independent suspension composed of front double wishbone type featuring in-board spring and durable steel radius arm. Rear trailing arm type features horizontally mounted aluminium cylinder oil dampers for effective shock absorption. Sealed differential gearbox ensures high speed cornering, while full ball bearings and 3-step gear ratio secures maximum transmission efficiency.
