Miniaturised Frog With Ready-To-Run Convenience

The Tamiya 56701A - 1/18 RC TamTech-Gear The Frog reduces the famous Frog profile into a compact, hobby-ready model. It is built to be driven straight away, combining classic looks with modern small-scale hardware.

Performance Packed Into 1/18 Scale

Measuring 266mm long, 183mm wide and 90mm tall, this scaled buggy offers nimble handling. The 2WD layout paired with a 370-size motor and the included 7.2V-600mAh Ni-Cd battery makes it easy to enjoy long run sessions at the local track or park.

Durable Chassis and Control Setup

The vehicle uses independent suspension on every wheel to keep traction on uneven surfaces. A compact ESC, receiver and servo pair with the Expec SP transmitter for crisp control, and full ball bearings help keep the drivetrain efficient.

Collectible Design With Racing Roots

The Frog has a strong lineage dating back to the 1980s and this TamTech-Gear release celebrates that heritage in a more manageable form. The polycarbonate body captures the classic lines while being resilient enough for regular use.

What wheel surface works best for this scale?

Packed dirt, short grass and smooth gravel are ideal; very loose sand or large ruts will challenge the small chassis and tyres.

Can I fit a LiPo battery to improve performance?

Many owners upgrade to modern packs, but confirm connector type, size and motor compatibility before swapping to LiPo to avoid stressing the electronics.

How do the bearings impact drivability?

Full ball bearings reduce friction in the drivetrain, improving acceleration and smoothing out gear engagement, which is noticeable even at small scale.

Are replacement tyres and tyres inserts available?

Replacement tyres and spare parts can normally be sourced through hobby suppliers, allowing you to tailor grip to different surfaces.

Does the kit require assembly or is it RTR?

This is a ready-to-run model, arriving with electronics and body mounted so you can get on track quickly after charging the battery.
