RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

picked up this pair of Tamiya buggies 2 days ago along with what's left of a fx10 and a big box of frog/grasshopper parts

first thing I did was order new bodies
and after going through them drive trains seem good
missing a few small parts but will be nice once im done

the frog has some nice black alloy rear shocks and looks like lots of metal upgrades but the front blue alloy shocks are really neat they have a tube connecting them to equalize them


the grasshopper has a nice metal front shock tower (hard to tell if its home made of an actual engineered part)
and alloy shocks all around

cant wait to get these guys cleaned up and running again

sorry for the bad pics the 2yr old would not leave the grasshopper alone lol
looks like it may be his first rc car lol

Nice!
brings back a lot of memories

The front shocks on the frog and rear shocks on the grasshopper are from You-G. Front shocks on the grasshopper look like the CRP kit

thanks for the info I don't know a whole lot about Tamiya gear
but the way things are going with my last 2 hauls looks like I have a good start to a Tamiya collection lol

finished up the grasshopper now its a hornet(only body I found that was worth buying)

I have similar shocks front and rear on my frog, I just got running it. I think I want to go brushless

that fx10 body on the frog has a cool paintscheme
