Comical FROG Reissue: Tamiya 58673 Mounted on WR-02CB

The FROG has long been a gateway model for many hobby builders, and this Comical FROG reissue captures that approachable spirit. Fitted to the adaptable WR-02CB chassis, the kit merges retro looks with chassis features that suit varied driving conditions.

What the WR-02CB Delivers

The WR-02CB chassis is built to perform both on flat surfaces and rough patches, offering a balance between showy wheelie potential and steady handling. Its pre-assembled gearbox includes a Type 540 motor, helping shorten setup time. Long suspension arms and CVA oil dampers give the car a compliant ride, while under and side guards boost durability. A rear wheelie bar helps control lift during spirited throttle inputs.

Visuals That Work on Track and Trail

The Comical FROG keeps a playful body and pairs green and white two-piece wheels with ribbed front and bubble-style rear tyres. These elements not only recreate the original look but also increase traction and cornering stability compared with older designs.

Whether you are reconnecting with a childhood favourite or starting out, the Comical FROG provides an enjoyable mix of nostalgia and practicality. Its layout makes it easy to tune and maintain for ongoing use.

Assembly is beginner-friendly thanks to the pre-built gearbox and included motor, though basic familiarity with tools helps for tidy finishing.
The battery compartment is sized for a round 7.2V pack; fitting LiPo will require checking dimensions and possibly using an adapter or modifying the tray.
Upgrading shocks and tuning spring rates is straightforward on the WR-02CB, with parts widely available if you want sharper handling or more travel.
