Ideal investment to thrash around in the dirt, or just stick it on a shelf! I had one on here a few weeks ago which had a lot of interest, which was virtually identical to this – so i have done another one just in-case there are buyers out there still interested! Please study the pictures as these form part of the description/condition. This Vintage Tamiya Frog from the 1980’s has been stripped down, cleaned, sprayed up & put back together again into what you see here. Everything on the chassis works & all any bits etc have been changed for good ones. The moving parts all have a little silicone grease on so as not to drip on a shelf. It has not been run since restoration, except for a blast around the kitchen tiles! So is in pretty much mint condition except for what is described below. This Model comes Almost Ready to run, It has everything ready to make it Go, it Just needs Batteries to add & off you go. The Chassis to this one is in pretty good condition with almost no scuffing around the lugs holding the battery tray There no wear on the underside of the metal under-guard and the front bumper is new re-re to smarten it up. The bottom of the gearbox looks pretty good but is not completely mint. The Gearbox has re-release gears in it and will come with the interchangeable plastic spur gears (but i don’t have the corresponding pinions for those i’m afraid). Its currently loaded with the 50T gear and pinion to drive it. The screws on the chassis are mostly bright and shiny. There is vintage Mabuchi motor installed. The radio gear on this model is a mixture, there are 2x Futaba FPs 148 servos , and an FPR102JE reciever & a MK3 Acoms TX. All works fine and runs the buggy fine on the original 2 terminal MSC. I had to make a re-pro mounting plate for it! The Shocks are a mixture of Vintage and re-release parts but brand new. New Re-Re rear tyres and good used vintage fronts. There may be a few other sensible mods here and there using re-re parts to help re-build it, but it is still vintage in the major part. The quality re-pro body is finished in nice quality re-pro decals. It could do with the black’lining in’ doing around the roof tubes and front wheel arches etc just to finish it off! It looks a bit lop-sided in the photos but i’ve sorted that out now! All in all a really nice piece of Restored 80’s Tamiya history, priced to sell for the condition. And a must for any collection! Finished to a really good standard please check my feedback! I finish all my cars as if they were going into my own collection! , and so would look great on a shelf!
