Compact classic reworked for modern play

For RC hobbyists who value a mix of retro style and current engineering, the Tamiya 56715 TamTech-Gear Frog Mini GB-01S delivers a tidy 1/10 scale package built for both living-room practice and local park runs. The electric GB-01S chassis gives reliable power delivery and predictable handling, making the model approachable for a wide range of drivers.

Heritage styling with a contemporary twist

The Frog Mini channels the look of the original Frog while using up-to-date materials and mounting methods. The detailed polycarbonate body keeps the iconic silhouette but on a lighter, tougher shell that stands up to everyday use.

Chassis performance and handling notes

With the GB-01S layout, the Frog Mini responds with nimble steering and steady throttle control. The independent suspension soaks up rough sections and helps maintain traction, whether you are learning setup changes or sharpening corner entries.

How it compares within the TamTech-Gear range

Against other TamTech-Gear entries, the Frog Mini balances classic looks with a chassis focused on drivability. It is a sensible choice for builders who want retro character without losing modern tuning options.

Practical setup tips from experienced builders

Try different tyre compounds to match where you run and tweak shock preload for quicker turn-in or firmer landings. Small changes to camber and toe can noticeably affect cornering balance on both carpet and packed dirt.

The Tamiya 56715 TamTech-Gear Frog Mini GB-01S is a solid pick for collectors and newcomers alike, offering classic looks with easy-to-tune modern handling.

Yes. The straightforward GB-01S layout and modular parts make assembly manageable, and replacement components are widely available if you need to swap damaged pieces.
Both standard NiMH packs and compact LiPo batteries are compatible; LiPo offers lighter weight and longer punch, but be sure your speed controller supports LiPo chemistry and you use a proper charger.
Select softer compounds for loose dirt or grass and harder compounds for indoor carpet or hard-packed surfaces. Match diameter and tread to the scale for best handling.
Consider trimming excess polycarbonate, reinforcing high-impact areas with tape, and running a lightweight bumper to guard the shell from repeated knocks.
