Small-Scale Frog With Authentic Character

The Tamiya 56701A - 1/18 RC TamTech-Gear The Frog brings the classic Frog silhouette into a small, ready-to-run model. It offers an accessible way to own a piece of that classic styling while remaining practical for regular driving sessions.

Nimble Dimensions, Practical Performance

Despite its compact 1/18 scale, the buggy measures 266mm in length, 183mm across and 90mm tall, delivering a blend of agility and stability. The 2WD system is driven by a 370-size electric motor and the supplied 7.2V-600mAh Ni-Cd allows for extended outings before recharge.

Mechanicals and Control Layout

The car features a four-wheel independent suspension setup to handle small bumps and maintain predictability. The compact ESC, receiver and servo communicate with the Expec SP transmitter for confident input, and full ball bearings optimise drivetrain efficiency.

Origin and Appeal

With roots in the 1980s, the Frog is a recognised design among collectors and racers. This TamTech-Gear version faithfully recreates the look in a resilient polycarbonate shell that is suitable for both display and regular use.

The Tamiya 56701A is a compact classic that suits collectors and hobby drivers who want authentic styling paired with user friendly operation.

Common spares include suspension arms, steering linkages, tyres and body mounts, which are handy for quick repairs after a crash or heavy use.
The compact ESC, servo and receiver are fine for stock use and can be swapped for higher spec units if you want increased speed or more precise steering response.
Use polycarbonate-specific paint and allow full cure time before running. You can also add clear protective film to vulnerable areas to reduce scuffs.
Loose deep sand and large rutted trails are not ideal for the small scale and ground clearance; stick to packed dirt, short grass and smooth gravel for best results.
