This is Grahoo's frog, man... that's what legends are made of. This was the most buzz-making RC car on the internet not so long ago. Go for it!

i bought the magazine specifically for this article on the frog. really, really slick car

we often paint, anodize, restore. but this guy pretty much re-engineered the frog from the ground up. a true "modder"
