My YZ834B, with many custom modifications
Well, this is my fully modified runner. well, not 'soooo' modified What I did was to retain the original suspension concept with minor modification of the geometry (unlike a conversion of 2 shocks to 3 shocks like the RPS, or 4 shocks, etc..). The original suspension did not work at all, mainly the Kydex chassis was way soft and the suspension pivots flex horribly. Not to forget the original shocks leak more oil than I put into it. With some improvement in material, carbon fiber and FRP upgrades, the suspesion actually works quite well!! Soft tires also help the suspension too. But I never dare to jump this car, too precious

You'd fit right in with the local vintage racers... but then you HAVE to jump also

One thing I was astonished: the number of ball bearings. More than 20 for such a small car....

Thanks for the comment. I only use it as a pan car. I run my shelf cars from time to time.
