The Fox was my first and only serious (from my perspective, I was 12 when I built it) venture into the RC world. Real life and real cars soon took over. I still have the thing I wonder if I could mod it into some kind of brushless monster. :)
Kick Ass...I saw this video while looking at those new RC Helicopters that are the new rage....great soundtrack...the song title is wildflower by one of my all time favorite bands on the planet THE CULT!! Great Vid, thanks!
fuck me that bought back memories! i had a "wild one", "hornet" and a "frog". when i drove the "wild one" for the first time my little brother wanted to drive it and me and dad said no, then mum said "he wont hurt it"- he pranged it straight on into a gutter! i remember it clearly! its like the old saying "they dont make them like they used to", go frog fox hornet grasshopper wild one not the shit they have today! thanks for uploading this!!!
they make them new again . i was wondering if they have more tire options now ? or have to get the tracter tires for it off ebay. i bought 2 frogs off there . go to ebay. let me know where to get more tire selections . love the frog . wish they would make a new rear suspension and front end but keep the same body molding. is a fast car.
Wow the memories come flooding back...I loved these old MRC Tamiya buggies... My first one was the Hornet, then I got a Frog..if I recall correctly the stock frog came with a Mabuchi RS540s motor...The RS540S was pretty fast for its time...then I stuck a Revtech motor and an electronic speed control in my frog... it HAULED ASS... My buddy had a Team Associated RC10 that he would always brag about...Nice car too...
Just makes me even more eager to get my old fox running again. All needed parts are on the way. I also have an old World Engines Rockbuster. That one is in such bad shape It's restoration is going to be putting the body on a rebuilt grasshopper.
put some nice brushless in these and see what they can rip! :D. i want see if the DF01 (Manta ray.top force,dirt thrasher,blazing star) can hold brushless :D. gonna slap a Team losi Xel in it. 4600KV. ^-^.
the good old rc toys of my childhood! i recently fixed my 23 years tamiya fox... an old notebook battery 4.5ah and a motor of an accu screwdriver/drill. wow! the good old days are back!
very good im inpressed!
