A time machine in a box!

The experience of buying and building a Tamiya re-release kit is much like getting a time machine in a box to transport you back to the golden age of R/C cars. THANK YOU Tamiya for being savvy enough to know that there are millions out there like myself that loved these cars way back then and are willing to spend the money to buy them either for the first time or again.

Something I don't see much talked about is the price of these kits. The prices of these high quality re-release kits are almost the same as when they were new back in the 80's which actually makes them much cheaper now based on the adjusted dollar amounts. Once again, Tamiya deserves great accolades for being very smart about pricing.

It's a great kit at a great price!Read full review...

Great RC build

This is the second Tamiya car I’ve owned - early 70’s it was the XR311, recently the “Frog”. The car is well designed and a hoot to build which I did with my son so this is his first! Susp nsion is robust, frame is solid, parts are made to work. Would be nice if the instructions were a little better, but it’s adequate. You will need 7.2v battery, transmitter/receiver, and servo to complete.

A thumbs up overall!Read full review...

Tamiya updated for a new age

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. Read full review...

Feel like a kid again!

Got The Frog about 35 years ago, and it's SO FUN to have and build it again! Makes me feel like a kid again! Well, all but for the reading glasses I have to wear to read the instructions, but a kid nonetheless!Read full review...
