Official product video of Tamiya 58354 The Frog (2005)



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.

Enjoy the LBX with Mini 4WD
This is an assembly kit for a four-wheel drive racing car that allows you to enjoy high-performance driving. The LBX MORIZO RR, a high-performance model that enhances the driving performance of the LEXUS compact cross “LBX” and pursues sporty driving and driving pleasure, has been made into a Mini 4WD. The high-quality, dynamic style with a strong presence is reproduced with a rich atmosphere of the actual car. The blacked-out roof, front and rear lights, and the distinctive front grille called the “Unified Spindle Grill” are available as stickers. In addition, the chassis is equipped with a double shaft motor with excellent driving efficiency and is high-performance and easy to assemble, with a focus on aerodynamics. This is a noteworthy machine that scales down the powerful driving of the MORIZO RR. The body color is white. The stickers and packaging are also specially designed and different from the ” ITEM18661 Lexus LBX MORIZO RR (MA chassis) “.

MA chassis pursuing driving efficiency
“MA” stands for Midship AERO. The “MS chassis” has a midship layout with a double shaft motor mounted in the center of the body, and the “AR chassis” is designed with particular attention to airflow (aero) while driving. The “MA chassis” combines the excellent features of each into one chassis. Of course, by utilizing the know-how accumulated in races so far, the driving performance has been thoroughly refined, including six low-friction resin rollers and a rear skid bar as standard equipment. In addition, the adoption of an integrated monocoque structure has improved ease of assembly and maintenance. This chassis can be used by a wide range of racers, from beginners to veteran racers, and from races using two-lane and three-lane courses to official competitions on large special five-lane circuits.
