Hobby Remote Control Tamiya Tam58354 1/10 Frog Kit Rc Cars & Trucks

My review really sums up this buggy well. I purchased the Frog for nostalgia's sake to be a backyard basher. In this, the Frog excels. It is by no means capable on an R/C track. The biggest problem is that the rear dog bone axles will pop out after landing a hard jump or as a result of a rollover. Luckily the rubber boot will likely keep the dog bone from being lost but the chances are quite high that the dog bone will rip a hole in the boot. I *strongly* suggest purchasing a ball bearing kit like Tamiya Frog Sealed Bearing Kit. If you want a more modern buggy and prefer to stick with Tamiya, consider the Tamiya 58374 1/10 Sand-Viper Kit. This is probably the best all-around buggy you can get. It's suitable as a basher and with some strategic hop-ups, it can become a capable racer. The Sand Viper is based on Tamiya's DT-02 chassis. As such, the list of available hop-ups is actually pretty amazing so the car can grow with you. So unless you really have your heart set on buying a Frog (like I did) your money is definitely better spent on a different car.
