Hi guys and dolls here’s my finished yokomo yz10 it was a pleasure to do this as I normally only restore Tamiya’s but I’ve been after one of these for a good few years and finally I have one and it looks rather special I think you’ll agree!! It came...

Just wondering if anyone has run the fine pitch belts in there runner? I'm going to try them in my runner with a 13.5 motor.

New to the forum and thought I'd post some pics of my YZ10 project. This car was originally owned by Scott Brown and was raced in the A-main of the 1995 Ifmar Worlds. It was missing shocks, wheels, one of the nuts for the Suzuki hubs and the slipper...

Can anyone guess which :-)

Hello all,

Quick question, did the original 1988 series of YZ10 (sold in the US) only come with associated gold shocks or was their a possibility of getting them with the Yokomo silver shocks ?

Thanks

So this will be 95 percent new and with as many hopups as I can find. I have a sheet of iridium graphite coming to cut new shock towers and a new top deck. Stay tuned!

Hi all,

Has anyone attempted anything to bring the faded colour back to life?

Thinking of lots of ideas in my head but surely this has been covered before?

The inner wheel under where the tire was in perfect, the outside is faded as you would...

Finally found a new pair of the 'infamous' TR-31's from the 1991 IFMAR worlds on eBay. I remember reading all of the drama surrounding these tires in old issues of RC Car Action as a kid.

Displayed in my case with 3/16 axle RC10 rims and MCI Yokomo...

Does anyone know the Yokomo part numbers for the front and rear springs? I can find part lists for the YZ-10 but not for the Works 91. Might they be the same? Based on photos the rears look to be the same but the fronts on the W91 look to be shorter...

Hi all,

Back with another few pics with some identity issues.

I'm guessing late 80's and the mechanical speed control is something I've never seen.

Normal for wiring to run between the belt?

Front shock tower is different from what I've seen?...

Picked up this nice 93 works. I think I can whiten those bulkhead caps and i have a new set of copper springs for it as well.

Hi,

Not sure if I'm in the right forum but can someone share the battery soldering configuration used in the 4 + 2 chassis?

More to the point how to connect the two on one side to the four on the other and join through a single battery plug?...

Hello everyone.

I finally found an YZ834 in good condition.

It came with unused vintages tires but not original

Their sides are full of glue and also the rims.

Do you know it I can soak the original yellow rims in acetone vapors to remove the...

Hi guys

Just received this nice 870c. The wheels are 2.2'', would these be the correct/original kit size?

Photo's attached

Cheers

Hello Yokomo Fans!

Would anyone know a good source (original or aftermarket) for the front drive belt for the MX-4?
Part number is ZM-567
3mm pitch and 189T

Cheers, Wazza

Hi all I’m new to this forum and website I normally restore Tamiya’s but in the last month I’ve come into the ownership of a rc 10 which I’ve restored and now I’m restoring a yokomo dogfighter it’s coming along nicely but I haven’t a clue what...

Anyone have an idea as to what the springs on the left are? The right is the standard yz-10/works front set but the left are advertised as ‘93 but they sure weren’t the stock copper springs on the Works ‘93....

Hello all,

Need help IDing who made this YZ10 chassis, kind of looks like an associated chassis with the random horizontal lines that break up the weave.

Thanks Spoon

Hello,

I’ve been searching all over the internet (to no avail) to find out if the YZ-10 bulkheads/caps (and differentials since i’m on the topic) are the same as the original YR-4 ?

I did come to a conclusion (could be wrong) that they are...

For you guys working on 870C Masami style cars - Just found this facebook site and ordered a set to try them out, they look very promising:

Hey has anybody used one of these kits and does anyone know if these guys are still around?

Hey guys, thanks to many of the amazing forum members here my '89 Masami Yokomo YZ10 Worlds replica is coming along well. I just got my 4+2 chassis that I had cut out - here's a teaser of how some of the project is coming along.

Jeff

So is the 91 YZ10 just and upgraded 870c? I know very little about Yokomo's

I'm looking for a couple Yokomo rod ends to finish up a project. I'm hoping you guys here can help me out.
I'm unsure of the correct part number but they are similar to an Associated shock end but the ball is threaded.
I have included a pic for...

I've been willing to build a Porsche 934 RSR with a Vaillant-Kremer livery for years and this is now slowly getting real since I bought a Tamiya Porsche shell recently. I bought the body separately and it is the one that was supplied with the 30th...

I still hesitate for the title ... let see it when the car will be finished :)

To be honest, I buy this car as a chassis donor for another project, but got so many spares that I decided to do something with it.
(plus I always love to get a Yok....

Hi all I'm new here but after reading up on a few other builds Ithought I'd post up my Yokomo YZ-834B build project ,It starts as what is I'm sure a very failiar story ,I'm in my mid 40's ,used to race 1/10 back in my teens and have recently try'd a...

Quickly became a favorite :D

So I picked up a Yokomo 870c recently as a project car. A big headache with these (among several) appears to be finding a way to fit modern rims on it, since it uses proprietary square wheel hubs. I happen to have a Tamiya DB01 lying around, and I...

Just picked this baby up. I used to race against this very car BITD, and my old mate has let me take it off his hands (along with 4 other old cars).

It has a weave chassis and the original kit item came with it, barely used. It looks pretty...

This is a driver with a 10.5 brushless setup. The car raced in the late 80s competitively, other than the body, motor/esc/receiver its the same car, never disassembled, same shock oil etc. from the 80s

This is my only Yokomo car and don’t know much about them. Looks like it’s been used very little if at all but missing some parts. Are you able to identify which model it is and year it was build? I would like to restore it as close to original as...

This was given to me by RJ (along with the Traxxas Bullet that I’ve recently rebuilt), and it’s obviously in need of some parts. I’ve downloaded a manual and parts list to determine what I will need to track down to get this one rolling again....

Some photos of latest project, a carbon fibre tub YZ-10 (courtesy of Sven). Going to need some help with this one; looking at the chassis I'm guessing it's been designed for a Works '93 as it has the slots for adjusting the belt tension? If so, I...

I think this somehow fits here :) The kit is awesome, kudos to Nigel.

The question is obvious, but what´s the answer :P

So I've been fortunate enough to acquire two COMCOM tub chassis in as many months. Although they are very different to one another.

I'm guessing the one on the right is for the 'squashed bug' body shell and the left the older 870c style shell,...

Hello fellow Yokomo gurus.
I want to bring back the stock bulkheads and hubs etc.. for these early dogfighters to like new. Im seeking opinions on wether sand or particle blasting is recommended to strip the ugly ageing and get these surfaces back...

Does anyone have a graphical list of the parts? I've seen some on the net in the past, but seem to have disappeared now, they were almost like a dealer catalogue type of thing.

Hello, here is my 870C or YZ10 runner.

I bought it on ebay in poor shape but hopefully complete.

Some parts have been hand made, not bad, but not my taste.

To be continued...

Here is my blinged out 94 YZ10:)

Hello all,

I present to you my freshly restored Yokomo Works ‘91 Drescher Edition. Most of you will know that Yokomo did not make a Drescher Edition and it is in fact a Yokomo Works ’91 with a conversion kit centred around a change in front...

Hello,

I bought this really nice car some weeks ago and thought I share some pictures of it. The guy who owned it bought it new in Japan many years ago. It is brand new and has not yet been completely build, comes with some extra parts, tyres, rims...
