If you were part of the RC scene in the early 1980s, the Tamiya Frog probably needs no introduction. Released in 1983, this 1/10-scale electric buggy quickly became a landmark model in off-road RC racing. It wasn’t just another toy—it was one of the first widely accessible RWD buggies, combining durability, performance, and that unmistakable […]

The Tamiya GB-01 chassis is a compact, 1/10 scale off-road platform originally designed for the Tamiya TamTech-Gear series, most famously used in the TamTech-Gear Frog. Introduced in the mid-2000s, the GB-01 was Tamiya’s attempt to revive the spirit of classic RC buggies like the Frog, Hornet, and Grasshopper in a smaller, more modern and agile […]

It was designed for serious RC racers who participate in F1-class on-road competitions. The photos below show a stock TRF 104 configuration. Everything except the tires comes out of the box.

It has a nearly constant angle of attack but varying pitch, caused by a repeated exchange of airspeed and altitude. When it […]

Take a look at this and share your thought (personally I found that RC gliding during 30+ degrees outdoor is a disaster, lift is real poor). You may also take a look at this video, which explains air density and flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11kBN75Ty2s

ORB Racing is a small, niche RC brand specialising in front-wheel-drive (FWD) 1/10 scale off‑road racing buggies, primarily offered as conversion kits rather than complete RTR models.
