Re: YZ-10 Dark Dog : under the hood (24 july 2008)

Post by Mr. ED »

shocks are option house, front knuckles and C-carriers are lazer ZX-5's
The slipper is a 'standard' yokomo option

How about the arms? Front and rear axles and rear carriers? Undertray?

If anyone can tell me what I cut the center battery braces from , that'd be great: I don't remeber myself but could use an extra set for my YR-4 tourer now :)

the front & rear arms are from DF03..........rear dogbones DF03 also..........

while the undertray was secured by the Yokomo SD's aftermarket servo posts on right side at least............can't see clearly over the left side..........

BTW, Mr ED........would you mind to take some more close-up pictures for the battery brace ??.........

well the servo post on the backside is actually a wild-one unit, but you got everyting else right I think.

The tub is an aftermarket for the plasma edge: mounted backward and the rear carrier and axle are academy parts of the str-4

Front CVD's are tamiya TRF's, would have worked in the rear with ZX-5 carriers too, but the dogbone is a lot cheaper.

I'll make that pic another time, it's too late in japan now. HK should be even later , not?

Found something , bought it and then decided not to use it on this car :mrgreen:
At least not for now.

This is a complete set for the DF-03 from eagle racing.

The reasons I'm holding of to use it on the yz-10 are:
1. I'm not convinced blue alu arms are really fit for the racers look i'm after
2. if I use these carriers and knuckles on the Yz-10 I'll have to go back to yokomo axles and hubs and wheels
3. The full eagle set is a direct fit to my optima-mid also and looks better at home on that car

8) looks a bit like an X Factory X5.
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

I was superhappy with how well it handled considering it was the first time I even had a moter in it.
Also really enjoyed the little damage over 14! runs of 5 minutes, with huge jumps all the time!
I ended up breaking the front belt, and had one option-house shock ripped open. That was it.

The tracksurface was covered with artificial grass and had serious grip.
After I broke the front belt I just ran the car 2wd for the 4 finals and was able to put an extra round on 2 of them!

Diggin up the old thread to show how the dark dog sits on the shelf now.
The yokomo wheels have been back on forever , body was painted and has been waiting for something to cover for some years... but last week I made some effort and added B5m wing mounts and a fresh painted spoiler and put it all together. It's a return to its roots perhaps, but I always loved it , so there's no harm in that.

The B5M mounts are perfect and cheap
I probably need to move the wing a little further back: about 10mm as it is almost impossible to remove the body now without removing the wing first :oops:

I'd need to try that for you... both front and rear or just one side?
To be sure : can you tell me what the the length of the stock U-J's is; I don't think I have the correct length on it anymore.
