I love this review of these kits. The commentary during the running footage is helpful. Do you know if the Subaru Brat body weight changes the handling from the Frog? I wonder how the Wild One, Fox, and Falcon would do.

Those are all on the ”one day coming to the OAG” list!! I have been close to picking up the Wild One for some time now but always get distracted somewhere else 😂🤣 They would end up in the vintage 2WD class though which is coming soon to the channel! There are some tasty RCs in there 😁🔥

I didn’t know the Brat body changes the weight distribution. Very interesting

@@theoagrcI don’t know either. It seems a little like the Rough Rider vs Sand Scorcher with the slightly heavier plastic body weight farther over the wheels. Just pondering if there are any noticeable differences.

That was impressive. I think the Mad Bull lived up to its name, not caring about anything and just dominating the track. Looks like those mods did wonders for it. Great run, loved every minute of it.

The Mad Bull in slow motion reminds me of that old vintage video of the "Circus Strongman" taking the cannonball to the belly. You know the one? The roley-poley Mad Bull jiggles around just like that big fellas belly after the cannon ball makes contact. So funny!!! Grasshopper was funny... I always say, you don't drive a Grasshopper, the Grasshopper drives you. Lol! The Frog just loves to nose-dive, doesn't it? That dramatic roll-over mid air is always exciting! Until an axle pops out, that is... :) The Pumpbox's sound is epic. Whining gearbox, plastic body clanging off the body posts, unexpected wheelies, what a beauty! And the jiggly Mad Bull... hahaha. It got around the track surprisingly well, despite the wacky design elements.

Brilliant comment Fil! I know exactly what you say about the Mad Bull! I always think it is like a Panda. No coordinating, just crashing about and rolling around!! It is a very interesting Tamiya and it just gets stuff done out there on the track this year! Thanks for double dipping on this brother 🙌🏻

I always wondered why Tamiya sold the Frog without addressing the dog-bone issue. My brother had one and hated it due to constantly having to find and replace dog-bones. Personally, I love the Frog despite it's issues. All beautiful RC's...I enjoy watching them "hop" around your raceway! Fun video Craig!

Hey buddy! Thanks so much for watching pal. It was a fun opener to the Orchard Raceway season. Just sat editing the 2WD runners and they are so much quicker round the raceway than the hoppers!! Although will they be able to match the hot lap from the Mad Bull??? Time will tell! I am sure the Frog will be back for revenge next year as it is such a nice car to drive! Good luck with your track matey 🙌🏻

First, who does your editing? I'm a bit jelly, Always loved your opening, wish I had that skill (Paul does a great job too).... Now on to the video... Great runs dude, I see you went with one whole class at one time, time saver, less video editing??? I don't think anyone saw that coming, Holy Cow!!! Great job Craig!!!!

Hey Bob, I had originally released these one by one but if I am honest viewing numbers are really bad so decided to redo them as I would have before and I really enjoyed putting this together. Thanks for the appreciation pal and the Mad Bull rides again 🔥👍🏻

Yeah dude! It needs some maintenance over the winter for sure!! I have decided to move the frog back to the vintage 2WD category for 2025 and it will get a motor upgrade also! The dog bone issue means a little rebuild and regrease before next year. 🐸

Craig they make a fairly cheap roller that flattens out the ground you pull or push it. It’s make of plastic and you fill it with water depending on how heavy you want it to help flatten out the ground. Idk if they sell them on your side of the pond but they are easier than a tamper for flattening high and low spots in dirt. Other than that great video.

Great advice Jay. I have a metal version but the ground is so hard here it takes a lot of work between seasons to get it properly flat. I accept the OR for what it is and I have laid a few buckets of top soil over the track which has improved things a little. The modern cars are rapid!!

The Frog is nimble but I think those tractor tires helped out the Bull in the turns. The Frog has all the clout being an 80s original though
