What should my next build be?

[robmob]

I am about done with the Sideways build and am itching to start another one.

I have narrowed it down to either the Re-Issue Tamiya Frog or the Tamiya Dark Impact.

Just for shits and giggles, I will put it to a vote.

They will both be Rolex builds.

Here are links to pics of the rigs in case anybody does not know what they look like.

Dark Impact

Frog

My vote is for the Frog.

 

[HPIguy]

I voted Frog because it was one of the rides I used to lust over as a kid. And because there was no cheap affordable housing near me option in the poll.

 

[mjneid]

Voted for the frog....

only due to the fact i still have and drive the Dirt Thrasher.... the 4x4 version....

 

[Rolex]

They will both be Rolex builds.

What does that mean, it will take a year and NEVER see dirt?
I had a few Grasshoppers, my nephew had the Frog. I'm all for that one.

 

[robmob]

Hmmmm.

3 Frog votes and 2 Dark Impact votes so far. Oddly, nobody will post that they actually voted for the Dark Impact.

In either case, I won't start until my Moo Mat gets here. That magnetic surface is going to be a huge plus.

What does that mean, it will take a year and NEVER see dirt?

May not take a year, but it will never see dirt.

Rolex Build is slang for Shelf Queen.

Oops, I'm back. I forgot to vote. 4-2 now.

I voted for the Dark Impact, looks way better than pink and white.

 

[klown]

its all tied up now... i gotta agree that the black looks much better than the pink and white...

Nothing you can't take care of with a little paint.
I see they no longer have that classic "Tub" design.

I'm biased to anything, if it runs, bash it! But I'm gonna have to go with the dark impact on this. Just looks like a better and more fun build.

 

[beason]

the frog is strait old school, but the dark impact looks bad A like it is from the future. i vote dark impact.

 

[robmob]

Dark Impact pulls ahead.

 

[Racer 1966]

I like the looks of the Dark Impact better, +1 for it.

 

[hamz9561]

I voted for the Dark Impact. I wasn't impressed by the looks of the Frog.

 

[TGL]

I like both for different reasons, but voted Frog for old times sake.
Why not build one of each? lol

 

[robmob]

I have both kits so eventually the looser of the poll will also get built.

When the winner is built, I will start another poll for the next kit I build.

It will be between the Tamiya Durga and the loser of this poll.

 

[NitroRC4Life]

Yea I voted for the Dark Impact because it looks way better than the frog. I personally don't like the frog at all, but that just my opinion.

 

[robmob]

The Frog is more of a nostalgic build. I always wanted one when I was a kid, but opted for the HotShot instead. When Tamiya re-issued the Frog, I jumped all over it.

I like the looks of the Dark Impact a lot better, IMO the only thing the frog has going for it is history.
