[Maiden Voyage] Tamiya Mighty Frog Speed Test! Performance with Sport Tuned Motor

I finally took my completed Mighty Frog out for its maiden voyage!

In this post, I’ll report on the initial run and the results of the speed measurement at the park.

I was excited to see how this vintage classic performs with modern power sources.

Build Specs for the Run

Here are the key components used for this session:

This is a solid combo of a reliable Sport Tuned motor and punchy LiPo power.

The manual provides three gear ratio settings.

To maximize top speed, I selected the 19T pinion for the 6.7:1 ratio.

Full throttle on the dirt! It’s mesmerizing to watch the unique suspension in motion.

I enjoyed some high-speed passes in the open area of the park.

Now, let’s look at the data from the GPS speedometer.

The maximum speed recorded was **32.3 km/h**!

The Sport Tuned motor provides smooth and consistent acceleration.

It was a truly nostalgic yet thrilling driving experience.

The maiden voyage was a great success without any issues.

While the current performance is great, I’m already craving more speed.

I plan to continue customizing this machine for even higher performance.

Stay tuned for the next chapter of the Mighty Frog build!
