The Tamiya The Frog Limited Edition (HC-58354) brings back the iconic 1983 2WD racing buggy with thoughtful updates while preserving its distinctive space-frame design. This engaging build kit retains the sleek polycarbonate body and classic stance, enhanced with refined suspension and drivetrain components for confident off-road running.

Built around a lightweight ABS space frame with nylon suspension and bumper parts, the chassis places the battery in an ultra-low position for improved stability over rough terrain and landing jumps. Advanced 4-wheel independent suspension features a front double wishbone layout with an in-board spring and durable steel radius arm, paired with a rear trailing-arm setup using horizontally mounted aluminium oil dampers updated to a diaphragm type for consistent, controlled damping.

A sealed differential gearbox supports high-speed cornering and durability, backed by full gearbox ball bearings and a selectable 3-step gear ratio to tailor transmission efficiency. The re-designed dogbone-style drivetrain, complete with original rubber boots, delivers secure power transfer to the 3-piece wheels. Straight ribbed front tyres and high-grip rear spiked tyres provide dependable traction across mixed off-road surfaces.

Return of the Frog!

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 dogbone type joint for secure power transmission. Sleek polycarbonate body remains the same, while 3-piece wheels feature front grooved and rear spike tires 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 aluminum cylinder oil dampers for effective shock absorbtion. Sealed differential gearbox ensures high speed cornering, while full gearbox ball bearings and 3-step gear ratio secures maximum transmission efficiency.

Questions & Answers

Real questions from real customers. Why not ask your own?

Hi could you convert the Frog to run brushless, if so what would I need and how much would it cost. Thanks Tim.

Tim / 26th December 2021

Yes, these take standard 540 size motors so a brushless setup like say HW38010203 would bolt straight in.

However... I'd be wary of shaking the frog to bits - these are a retro kit, and sticking a high power modern motor in there would be at your own risk...!

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hi, do you construction kits - say The Frog from Tamiya come with a remote control device, I am looking for a sort of bundle. This would be my first car to assemble, thanks

James / 16th April 2020

No these are just kit only.

We do list combo packs including the required items

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

What is the "limiting" factor of this edition?

Balu / 16th August 2016

It's a limited production run. Once they're gone, they're gone.
