Thanks Glenn, two very successful builds and both looking epic. Cant wait to see them both drive. Gauranga!
Matt McLafferty
Thanks Matt 🤩👊🏻
Loved the video. Really wouldn't mind picking up a Tamiya kit just for the nostalgia! Really loving the pink rims, the absolutely pop!
Timmo
Excellent 🤩
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
Wish I had watched this video before starting to restore a Grasshopper second hand. Very helpful. Cheers
Marc F
Excellent thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
The more the merrier big man I can’t wait to see these running ♥️
CMW Chris woodward

I enjoyed this fitting out vid Glenn, I would watch more for sure thanks.
gary murphy
Cheers for the feedback Gary, much appreciated buddy 😊👊🏻
Keep them coming your doing great videos
MUDMAD83
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
Can't wait to see them run!! Still on the fence about ordering a frog though..... those gear boxes gave me problems in the past with. The re-res! I built a beetle and a Blackfoot and both gave me problems , so yeah your channel helps me get motivated! Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
Mary Venianakis
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Both looking good 👍👍 can't wait to see the rabbit run like mad😁
mitymike 1996
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
Damn they look good Glenn, looking forward to seeing those two in operation! :D
Chris Lee - UK
Thanks Chris, yes both were very enjoyable to get to this stage, but even better to get them out running 🤩🚗💨💨💨
Enjoyed the video👍👍
tamiya frog
Cool 😎 thanks for watching 👊🏻
Rit Dye for nylon wheels... almost boiling water, add the dye powder and then dip the wheels.. the longer the wheels are in the dye the more vivid the colour... Rit dye will permanently re-colour the wheels as the Nylon will actually absorb the dye. Works a charm.
Another great video my friend👊😎🇬🇧😊👍
Leons rc hobbys
Appreciate it Leon 😊👊🏻
That Mad Rabbit is gonna be mad fast!
Great vid Glenn. Of course we want to see it all, and the running vids. I'm not that botthered if they're all arty farty, just nice to see them running.
Gary Rawlins
Three running videos are next up Gary, I’ve completed give up trying to do the Slo mo and all that stuff. Pointless in winter 🥶 so just straight forward now 😬
Thanks for watching buddy
cool video my friend, like 👍 👍 👍 👍😉
Evgeny RC Drezgalovo 48rus
Excellent thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
Shocks on the rabbit definitely make a difference! Tyre expansion is almost like having centrifugal gears,the faster it gets the higher the ratio
James Cunliffe
Oh yes the blooming was insane lol 😂👊🏻
Its ALL good Glen. Maybe a night-time covert visit to a multi-story parking lot, would be an crazy running video :D
mtbalot
Yeah I’ve been eyeing a spot up, but it’s not that well lit, but I’ll give it a try buddy 😊👊🏻
I'm pretty sure when I bought my Mad Bull about 15 years ago it came with a 19T pinion. I upgraded to a 17T pinion after I got a 540 sport tuned. Just dug it out as a lockdown project and everything is rusted or dead. Plenty of options these days, so getting a better steering servo and ESC!
Cant wait to see them running outside, I prefer the frog, 😀😀😀
The metal ESC mount should really go back on as a brace. The re re has an extra plastic brace I think
I remember 20 or so years ago when I got my hornet. Never worrying about grease on the motor, just though it in, I did grease everything else. me being a teenager just ripping into it.
wetdownunder
Yep I was the same back then lol 😂 thanks for watching buddy
Run fast run them hard in the snow.lol
Can you do a video on setting up a tamiya speedo control. Can set mine up
I think the frogs erratic steering is due to servo being off centre and the arms from the servo saver being different lengths,making the left reaction faster then the right?
James Cunliffe
Quite possible James, although I have to say, the Frog ran great 😊
As always buddy thanks for watching 👊🏻
The switch fits on a plastic bracket on the right of the battery attached to the chassis
Emaxxman Uk
Yes that’s only on the Subaru Brat , the original Frog switch went on the back window on the shell I believe 🤔🤷🏼♂️. I think the re-re Frog has the switch on the side. But it’s late and I could be completely wrong 😂👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy
That Technigold has got to be too much Mo-or for a Frog!!! 🐸😳 Those Gearboxes aren't the strongest.
And you're right, they're geared FAST. The 25T Torque Tuned would be perfect, even on 3S!!
I'm running a 3S Batry on me Oliday Buggy (work on my last 4 Videos). I'm also running a Hobbywing BL1060 ESC... That I've wired in a couple of Capacitors, after seeing YOUR Video on it!! 👍👍
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Your wiring is neater than mine!! 😳 Right, that might not be saying a lot....
But yours did look pretty tidy on the Frog, and the Tuub of the Rabbit made the whole job easier, I think....
That Rapid Rabbit is COOL!! I'd be tempted to drill 1mm holes in the Axles for Hex Pins.
Wow！！！！！👍👍👍
RCLoveごっこ
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Red Locktite, You got some Balls using the Red stuff.
Gene
Lol you only live once 😂👊🏻
Great stuff, could the Frog receiver not go under the plate you removed?
Paulo Forged
Yeah it fits perfectly there, unfortunately I didn’t have any shorter screws to do it 😬
Thanks for watching buddy
Just got the guts into my Mad Bull. Words were said when the motor wouldn't run. Then I put the connectors in the right places and lo and behold it burst into life... 🤬😮😵😳🙄
I've been watching this closely, I've just finished a very similar spec mad bull and it does absolutely fly. I wonder what 3s would do to it..
tony gregg
Lol I’ve done it 😂👊🏻
That’s Saturdays video, I can tell you it hit 46mph 🚗💨💨
@@TAMIYALegends awesome, I did find that a bit of heat shrink on the servo saver end of the metal link stops it from moving up and down in the arm. It was the source of most of the play in my steering. Cheap effective mod.
Glenn what's the extra metal plate/bracket on the back of the gearbox
Lee Hurst
It’s where the twin ceramic resistors fit Lee 😎. Old school 👊🏻
I was wondering about the technigold motor in the frog considering the frogs gear box. Question is how far can you push the gear box before you install for example the MIP super ball diff. I'm thinking maybe a GT tuned or a sport tuned should be ok? Not sure though?
Darth Nagus
Yeah I’m not sure what the breaking point would be 🤔🤷🏼♂️. This ran absolutely great with the sports tuned on 2s, I probably wouldn’t go higher than that myself. Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I used to run my Blackfoot on a Technigold and I also had that engine in Hornet, Falcon, Blackfoot, and a Grasshopper and never killed the gears on any of them. Would blow out the half shafts on the Blackfoot though!
Are the Tamiya #9804521 the same as these wheels? You could still go with the rit-dye route as you did with the evo. Great vid anyway! 👍
Bamboozled Bob
Yeah I think the rit method only works on nylon wheels 🤔🤷🏼♂️. But I could be wrong. Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Hi Glenn, how’ve you been ? Well I hope 😁👍🏻 ummm I have another question about my neo scorcher this time to do with the transmitter I go forward with it fine then when I go backwards I have to double tap trigger then it works fine going backwards. When I want to go forwards I need to double tap trigger again and on it goes really annoying I’ve got the goolrc pistol grip receiver and a Tamiya tble 02s esc. I need to get another transmitter receiver package and am wary of buying another goolrc setup any ideas as to what my problem might be please ? It’s factory set up buy the way I’ve not paired it but I have reset my esc from brushless to brushed. Apart from this annoying problem both cars are running well. Hope you don’t mind me keep banging on about my two neo’s Glenn, just know I do really appreciate all your help and advice oh and your videos of course 😁👍🏻 and yes I love seeing your how to videos because I learn so much from you. You take care of yourself in all that miserable weather 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
kenneth campbell
Hmmm 🤔
Yeah on the TBLE02s I use, pull the trigger it goes, push the trigger it brakes, but to then get reverse you have to go back to the neutral position and then push again.
So is yours doing that but the wrong way around?
TAMIYA Legends yes it is but by my choice I reversed the switch on transmitter I prefer it that way I know Glenn I’m weird like that 😂😂 I am now looking around for two kits to make your mad rabbit I love the look of that body very sci-fi and the monster wheels just add that extra umpf. Did you notice on the pictures on snow the tire expanding that was mind blowing and of course your come try was just awesome we can tell how much you love your hobby and it just makes me want to watch more. Bet your glad were not neighbours I’d be always on your doorstep saying Glenn I’ve a problem or fancy a race or some stupid questions I bet you’d still find the time though your that sort of chap... “a diamond geezer” anyway as always you take care, thanks for all the hard work you do for us and taking the time to reply to our questions... awesome 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
kenneth campbell
Lovely comment my friend, I’d love to have a fellow RC nutter as my neighbour 😊👊🏻
Come try ??? Commentary 😁 predictive text is handy but sometimes can mess up 😂😂😂
Glen do a Scottish jig and make them go fast.lol
Brad Kalman
🤪🤪🤪
When you strip the technigold motor can you do a vid on it
Steve Swindell
Yeah I will do Steve 👊🏻. It’s going in the Thundershot when it’s done, so it’ll be a couple of weeks before I start it buddy 👊🏻
Is that the 'new' phrase now, MANUAL speed controller, had always thought it was MECHANICAL speed controller (as opposed to ESC - electronic speed controller) ?
Is now the 'prefered' term MANUAL but it used to be MECHANICAL or have I always been wrong?
Cheezsoup
No it’s me who’s wrong 😬. It is mechanical my friend. Don’t know why I’ve been calling it manual 😞🔫. thanks for watching 👊🏻
This is same as black foot , still have mine
Robert Dees
Excellent 🤩
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
That one look like my bearhawk chassis.
The stadium Blitzer, Blitzer beetle and bearhawk all have the same chassis, very handy when looking for parts!
You need to run tons of run videos.
Brad Kalman
I’ve got three on the way 👊🏻
Great video. I couldn’t help but laugh each step of the way because the frog I built uses the same radio, the quick run 1060, and the same motor. LOL it’s a good combination. You can see it on my Instagram channel rc_oldskool.
Cal Cole
Excellent I’ll have a look 😎👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy
on motors to clean out try electrical contact cleaner and then contact oil , example electrolube.com/product/sob-electrolube-2x-oil i tryed this on a vintage grasshopper 540 motor it turned out like new lol , so i did me wild willy and champ even the sort tuned, well all as i was on a roll lol, also the oil protects
I hate to mark words, but it's a mechanical speedo, not a manual.
Can't you stick the reciever on the underside of the metal plate?
darkiee69
Lol I always call them that 😬 I’ll get it right for next time 👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy
I had the Frog as a kid... the speed controllers died so often on that thing it was practically worthless.
Absolutely shameful how faulty they were.
Sand tuned motor
Bill OBrien
Yeah it’s Tamiya’s latest top spec motor 😂👊🏻
Stop teasing and show us it running 😂😂😂
David Turner
Lol 😂 The Mad Rabbit running video is the next video on Thursday 🚗💨💨💨
You should never use an aluminium pinion they wear out too fast destroying the counter gear in the process get a steel one
Awesomus Maximus
Although your absolutely correct, my cars on this channel usually only have one battery through them, and I don’t bash them my runs are pretty gentle. So for the purposes of making CZcams content the kit alloy pinions do what I need them to do if that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to give me your feedback, it’s much appreciated 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Thank you
It's not too fast for that car.
I was a subscriber but after seeing about six of your videos in a row with no actual driving I unsubscribed, very boring to watch somebody talked about RC cars and not actually drive them. Good luck with the channel.
Regan V
Oh sorry to hear that, it’s actually Winter here in Canada, so we’ve been under a foot of snow for months. Makes running videos impossible 😞. Anyway I have no idea if you’ll see this reply, but my next three videos are all running vids 😂👊🏻
I appreciate your feedback and all the best buddy 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I'll give it another shot after winter
