Hi,
Bellow is a Yokomo Timeline of all the Yokomo Off-Road cars that I am aware of. I have heard of other versions (not listed below) such as the 'Craig Drescher' Version but I cannot personally confirm the release of such models ( Maybe there is...
Something new I started on. Fanrc chassis kit and a works 91 donor car. Cleaned up the aluminum bulkhead, finishing up on motor mount and the caps are painted and drying. Next rebuild diffs with new pulleys and install with new 2mm pitch belts.
SOOooo..
Here's the resto of my boxart Dogfighter.. man alive I used to lust after this off roader (well out of my price range back in the day) always had the...
As per my last post concerning the fitment of th re-re motor mount. I just got in all the parts to check for fitment of the re-re 870c slipper on an original 870c, works etc. As you can see from the photographs below it works and the fitment appears...
Grasping at straws these days looking for another Yokomo project to keep me occupied and I started thinking (yes, it hurt :lol: ). Given the current price of anything YZ10 related, there have been some amazing reproduction parts become available as...
So, a friend of mine says he has an 80% complete YZ-10 and was wondering if I wanted it. I get my hopes up as I've always wanted one but haven't come across one, nor have I actively searched for one either. Anyways, he brings it in and it turns out...

My first attempt at making a “vintage” battery
MCI Stickers, and white shrink wrap. Had to redo them once as I wasnt aware that the cardboard sleeve would just slide off, so I put the shrink wrap over it. Then it wouldn’t fit in the chassis. All...
I originally posted this on one of the Yokomo Facebook groups but I thought I would also post it here as, quite frankly facebook is absolute trash for anything other than posting pictures and asking for parts.
First I want to start off with a thanks to all the forum members who have put up and are about to put up with :lol: a number of questions regarding this restoration project. Forum member 59Burst was kind enough to sell me this car and shipped it all...

Thank you for leaving it for me sir, I might have cried if I missed out on this one lol
This could take awhile but one has to start somewhere :D

Absolutely incredible build, thank you so much for sharing your journey. I really hope Cliff Lett see’s it one day :D
Me and my brother are gathering parts to replicate this car....does anyone know where to get similar 1.5 tires? they dont have to be exact just close....thanks

Here are some relatively rare Yokomo 870c white nylon suspension arms. I'm tempted to replace the black arms with these.
As close to Jesus' legendary cup as there is :)

If you want an alternative, I have had these floating around for years, honestly, until today didn’t realize they were that rare….these look like fronts? But happy to chat if you need them.

Another conversion kit for the Yokomo YZ-870c/YZ10 but this time from the U.S.A. courtesy of J.D. Beckwith's former company Duke Concepts. Just like Craig Drescher and CML did with the Yokomo Works '91, J.D. Beckwith (Factory Driver)...

Where's Scr8p?
All of the files are ready. I just lost my wingman when it came to the delrin stuff. It may get revisited, but I don't know if any of it would work with the rere.
In keeping with tradition I'm making a thread on my latest Yokomo build, thanks to the work of Cheng Fan's amazing reproduction parts, some new old stock Yokomo parts, some old parts including some that I actually used in my 870c as a child from the...

Painted, the MCI stickers area bit off but acceptable.
I got a custom painted Masami body for my runner last year, but it was to nice to use, hence this build.
Purchased a Bezerk 89 masami kit as a start, I just need to find everything else as all I have are the alloy bulkheads and motor...

Associated cars have always been my staple for the past 23 odd years. I always remember seeing the YZ-10 Super dog fighter in magazines and always wanted one but have never really searched for one either.

Fan RC has titanium turnbuckles now as well.
I just had a look and ordered a set of these, not cheap. I didn't want to buy them just yet but I figured I'd grab them while they were available. Too many times I've sat on my hands only to miss...
Hello!
Can we build a YZ10 based on Pavidis chassis and 97 carbon parts?
Whether both Pavidis Edition and 97 version share the same transmissions? What about suspension arms? Should we use Pavidis front arm with 97 carbon parts?
Thanks 🙏

P.s. don’t forget to check out ‘Factory Works’ who also has some Yokomo parts :D
After being inspired by both Dan's and Reggie's brilliant WCS builds I have decided to attempt another WCS. Over the last 3 years I managed to collect most of the parts needed for this build, and with Dan's hard work on the chassis it has now become...
This is my vintage 1980s Yokomo Super Dog Fighter buggy unveiled in 2023. This build is 90% complete with period-correct batteries and electronics.
I prefer the look of a lay-down receiver configuration. This allows just enough space for a...
Hello!
Can anyone tell me the major differences between these three cars? It seems the MX4 is pretty close to the YZ10 based on what I have heard. The MR=4BX has a motor placed right at the center.
This is my original race car as hauled out of the loft over the past couple of days.
I originally had an 870c in around 1989 and then upgraded to this (still got the former). We raced it hard and the car got modified quite a bit. I eventually came...

Here are higher-quality pictures from RC magazine for Yokomo Super Dog Fighter fans with more detailed google translations. Enjoy! I'm happy my local library subscribes to this magazine :)
What suggestions do you have for their possible reissue?...

I hope they follow through on this. YZ10 prices have gotten insane and it'll be great to have a supply of harder-to-find parts which don't cost my soul.
Some things on my wish list for an 870 re-re:
1.) Slotted rear bulkhead mounting holes on the...
So this is my best (and cheapest) Yokomo find yet!
It didn’t look like much at first glance but after having a closer look I noticed it’s originality and the lack of track dirt!
Of course the paint job and wheels combination looks super ugly but...

First stage complete!
The wheels turned out to be the original kit wheels that were brush painted black. The pink was protected by the paint so it’s still super rich and not faded at all!

NOTE: Much later I discovered that the chassis brace and shock towers on this car likely point towards it being a 1997 car and not a 1995 as I had originally thought.
While I have stalled on both the 1994 box art and the Kyosho Burns I was...
Picked up this very nice duke concepts yz10. Just needs cleaning and I need to make a new right side steering arm as this one was broke and glued. Trying to decide on pink or white wheels as well.
Nice rear shock mount detail (which is actually the same rock 'n' roll design as the Dunn Pro Radiant front end mod). The upper chassis brace looks to be comprised of two bars as well if you look closely - upper and lower....

Ok I mounted the front and rear bulkheads and motor mount. Going to build center shaft and diffs tomorrow and install.
This conversion was advertised in very early 1990 in the UK RC mags, and it turns out the alloy chassis was provided by Racecraft (located just down the road from WASP). This is the only WASP lower chassis I have seen apart from in the old black and...

Hey gang, quick question for you. Does anyone happen to know what Yokomo or AE graphite piece Masami cut down to make the custom rear extension for the rear turnbuckles to attach to on his 870? Trying to figure it out is giving me a headache lol
Last post
I don't think it was anything in particular. Just some flat carbon fiber cut to shape. Probably 3mm thick.
Here is my new Yokomo MX4 with Masami style painted body. This is a very clean buggy and all I added was new wheels and tires. I am looking for period electronics and motor.

Ok I have almost everything to throw on this I want to but still looking for one more set of the blue factory team turnbuckles.

Apologies yes, you are correct it is a 1993, a car I personally think is one of the best of all the yz10’s.
