description  Always wanted Frog, so I started to collect parts + damaged cars years ago... Then came the ReRe and I wanted to get one, but never bougth one. I changed my mind and searched my 'Frog-Junkyard' for the best parts, bought a few new parts and hope to bring it to run this year..... 'Special parts used: - Dark gray King Blackfoot-Chassis - CRP Gearcase-cover & Front-bumper-parts - You-G Rear-shocks (also got fronts, but they are leaking - Carson wheels & tires - Screwed diff + dogbone-conversion from a TC-member (sorry - forgot his name) - Wheel adaptors (similar to the new ones from Tamiya, but also made by a TC-member ...)

Got a very cool TRF feeling to this one, more blue parts please!

Nice idea - but I think 4 wheels give a little more stability (the front wheels & tires will be the same as the rears - just narrow)

Stick a single wheel up front that would make a blinding trike!
