Compact Revival of a Classic Racer

The Tamiya 56701A - 1/18 RC TamTech-Gear The Frog brings the Frog racing look into a small ready-to-run package. Suited to new drivers and seasoned hobbyists alike, this scaled model keeps the distinctive lines and a durable polycarbonate shell for hobby use.

Small Scale, Serious Handling

At 266mm long, 183mm wide and 90mm high, the 1/18 scale layout is nimble yet stable. The 2WD layout is driven by a 370-size electric motor and the included 7.2V-600mAh Ni-Cd delivers run times that let you enjoy longer sessions between charges.

Chassis Details and Electronics

The chassis features a 4-wheel independent suspension for predictable handling across varied surfaces. Compact ESC, receiver and steering servo work with the Expec SP transmitter for responsive control, while full ball bearings reduce drivetrain friction for smooth power delivery.

Heritage Brought Down to Size

Originally from the 1980s, the Frog has a storied place in RC history and this TamTech-Gear release captures that heritage in a more approachable scale. The polycarbonate body mirrors the original styling, making it appealing for collectors and weekend racers.
