CRPed Frog

Post by mrlexan »

I was able to squeeze some project time in today to get this CRPed Re-re frog off the in process table (short of a body). My CRP stash is running a bit thin these days, but I tried to muster up as many parts that could with what I have left. Also includes You-G wheels and Academy front bumper. Can't forget Proline front and rear tires..... I loved the rear tractor tires BITD. I used them on everything when I was a kid. CRP parts include: front skid plate, battery door pin, adjustable motor mount (the only thing used), bearing retainers, trailing arm pivots, motor cover, rear bumper, resistor plate (don't think it will be used). I was thinking either Pennzoil or DHL bodied Frog.... trying to be consistent with the colors. I am open for other yellow and red suggestions.

Enjoy! Thanks for looking.

Definitely Pennzoil over DHL.

Other yellow themed brands that might be cool are Earl's and Hooker.

yellow and red: Shell of course!
Caterpillar would be cool also: to stick with the tractor tires

Great work! I have a soft spot for the Frog as it was the first rc car I ever had. I have a couple in my collection too. I've modified one with several CRP, Parma and Robinson Racing parts.

errr, what does that mean? It doesn't stroke withone of the suggested paintthemes, nor am I ready to believe you are going to actually run it ;)
