The Tamiya 58354-60A revives a classic 2WD Frog while adding calculated updates for current hobby use. This electric kit preserves period styling yet integrates improvements aimed at better handling and component longevity.
A side-mounted aluminium damper configuration, inspired by TRF shock layouts, helps control body motion on rough sections and provides steadier landings. The dog-bone drivetrain has been refined and includes rubber boots to keep grit out and increase durability.
The kit features an ABS resin space frame that mirrors the original classics. Horizontally mounted oil dampers and an inboard spring front suspension recreate the traditional layout while working smoothly with the revised parts.
Fitted with straight ribbed front tyres and spiked rear tyres, the Frog delivers reliable traction across varied off-road conditions. The realistic three-piece wheels contribute to both accurate looks and straightforward wheel service.
Tamiya 58354-60A is a solid pick for anyone keen on restoring a classic buggy experience with sensible modern touches. It works well as a display model and as a capable runner on informal tracks.
