Well I don't wana alienate the US Contingent but the diff's in the wrong place , there's loads of slop in the rest of the gearbox and they sort of copied the Tamiya Sand Rover chassis in heavy garish gold metal rather than light plastic , otherwise it's not too bad for an 80's buggy :wink: Can anybo...

I woke up (little hung over) , dog hopped on the bed for a play fight and cuddles , perfect , picked up my tablet and had a look for new posts on here ...... Suddenly needed coffee real bad

This is Yo-Clone-Oh , there is not one Yokomo part on the car anywhere , the chassis is a hand made part , every other plastic part including wheels , suspension , gearbox , gears and chain sprockets are 3D printed from CAD models I drew up as copies of the original YZ-834b Dogfighter , it's got my ...

Looking good , really good , where do you find all this stuff ?

Looking good , really good , where do you find all this stuff ? I must admit, all of these parts fell into my lap via an old adversary who had a box full of spares, and since I got hold of that lot I have steadily hunted for the GPM parts to get it looking how I pictured it. In my head it is now ju...

Drinking that much is going a long way to making this a reality , in fact it demands to be birthed in alcohol !

Then don't ask her !

Both types of slipper are on eBay maybe once a year and go for silly money

Two very fine builds duking it out this month

Looks sweet but makes my hands ache looking at it , gatta ask what the wheels are for ? Never seen anything like them !

That's mostly a Yokomo Dogfighter YZ-834b but the chassis has been replaced altogether , the gearbox , rear and front suspension is there , the front top arms have been replaced with twin adjustable links that were a fairly common mod in the day , It's also got a twin front shock mod that was common...

Its a second cousin right

It's at moments like that when you just have to resist the urge of reaching down and quickly snaping her neck , it's hard but wives just need to be tolerated at times

I got a lot of junk in the post this week.... guy was giving it all away.... paid postage only. Lot included a couple of useful receivers and a couple of crystals, a small pile of unidentified servo gears (no clue, probably trash), and these parts. 20210413_134454a.jpg Yeah, I know what you're sayi...
