Relive the golden age of RC buggies with the Tamiya Mighty Frog! First released in 1983, the original Mighty Frog captured the hearts of hobbyists with its unique space frame design and high-performance 2WD handling. This fantastic 2005 re-release brings back all the fun and nostalgia, updated with modern improvements for even better durability and performance, while staying true to the classic look.

The distinctive ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin space frame remains the core of this buggy, providing a lightweight yet tough structure. While the basic design is unchanged, Tamiya has cleverly updated key components. The rear trailing arm suspension now uses modern diaphragm-type oil dampers, and the driveshafts feature reliable dogbone-style joints for smooth power delivery. The tough nylon suspension components and low centre of gravity battery placement ensure this buggy can handle rough terrain and jumps just like you remember.

Topping it all off is the classic slim polycarbonate body, instantly recognisable to any fan of vintage RC. Paired with grooved front tyres and high-grip rear spike tyres mounted on stylish three-piece wheels, the Mighty Frog looks ready for action. It's the perfect project for veteran racers wanting to relive the past or new builders looking to experience a true RC legend.

Tough And Lightweight Structure

The distinctive ABS resin space frame is both lightweight and highly rigid. This tough structure provides a reliable foundation that can withstand even the most demanding off-road driving, keeping your vehicle protected.

Improved Front End Rigidity

The double wishbone front suspension provides a strong and reliable ride. It is designed with steel rod radius arms to increase stiffness, and the springs are integrated into the bulkhead for a compact and durable setup.

Selectable Gear Ratios

The sealed gear case protects the differential gear and allows you to choose from three selectable gear ratios. Power is sent to the wheels via a durable dogbone-type drive shaft that is protected by joint boots.

Smooth Rear Oil Filled Shocks

The rear suspension uses a trailing arm design for maximum stability and control over rough ground. It is equipped with aluminium cylinder oil dampers that soak up impacts and ensure a smooth, controlled ride in any terrain.
