The Tamiya 58354-60A restores the iconic 2WD Frog silhouette while integrating practical refinements for contemporary use. This electric kit keeps the look and feel of the original but includes component updates aimed at better durability and control.
A side aluminium damper arrangement, influenced by TRF shock engineering, helps stabilise the chassis over rough ground and improves consistency on jumps. The reworked dog-bone driveline is paired with rubber boots to protect the joints and extend service intervals.
The model carries an ABS resin space frame true to the original era. Horizontally mounted oil dampers and an inboard spring type front suspension echo the classic setup while cooperating well with the upgraded hardware.
With straight ribbed front tyres and aggressive spiked rear tyres, the Frog is prepared for off-road tracks and looser surfaces. The realistic three-piece wheels add authenticity for collectors and runners alike.
Tamiya 58354-60A strikes a good balance for modelers who want an authentic retro drive with the reliability of modern parts. It is a rewarding build and a distinctive runner on club tracks.
