With all kinds of parts getting mixed and matched over the years I was hoping someone might be able to help point me in the right direction on something.
This rear diff case / bulkhead was mounted on an old 870 I acquired years ago. I have this...
Hi, first post…..long time lurker :D
I have a good majority of parts to put together a 93 WCS runner, with some bits including the chassis, shock towers etc being genuine.
I don’t want to run the M2 fine pitch belts…..what pulleys and belts do I...

As above, the 870c rear diff is the same with a 35t pulley, the front uses a ‘95-‘97 front diff outdrive with a 870c pulley with Tamiya diff plates.
Thank you again for the information guys :D Subboy Do you have the Tamiya diff plates part number...
What size are the e clips for the suspension arm pins? I tried Associated 1/8 clips but they are too big. Are they M3 metric? Please lay some knowledge on me as none of the manuals give sizes for these. Many thanks!

Surprised you don’t have a response yet / yes they are M3 (3mm) eclips.
I was so happy that I got an almost complete 834b / Dog fighter with tires, gears and chain in great condition. Unfortunately the pre-owner was obviously a full time smoker right in front of the shelve where the car was stored. After...

It's virtually impossible to put a price on but between £375 and £575 depending on the day could go higher, if you put £600 buy it now on eBay it might go or sit there forever .
So I picked up a Yokomo 870c (YZ10) from a guy in a mega bundle deal and am now getting around to breaking it down and cleaning up everything before I figure out what needs to be replaced. So far it looks like only some hardware needs replacing and...

After a few false starts (work and family stuff) I was turned on to getting a cheap gravity feed media blaster for $20 at Harbor Freight and using Baking Soda in it. My compressor is a 20 gallon and can go up to 125 PSI. The blaster has a operating...
What if in 1987 Yokomo had given the old dog another chance ?

It had to happen eventually , I've been fighting the urge but I've given up fighting . The Yo-Clone-Oh Dogfighter is a 3D printing project comprising of both faithfully copied parts that may not be strong enough for lots of rough and tumble and also...

Going to put them up for sale in the morning , should cost considerably less for all 4 gears than a single genuine diff gear .
There's a stainless steel that Shapeways offer , a set of gears was about £68 less delivery , be nice to see what they are...
Hey just curious if anyone has created a file/drawing of the yokomo 870c steering arm/rear hub they would be willing to share. My buddy who makes parts for me has my pair but has been so swamped with business he hasn't had time to draw them up for...
A while ago i retired my Yokomo B-Max 4 Factory for a newer worlds version and created a Masami Style replica based on the car he used on the Thank you event around 2009.
I have just purchased a Bmax4 factory kit from Adam over here in Australia. Would like to spend some time getting to know this car and need to hunt down the original lexan that came with this first model bmax
Hey everyone. It has been a while since I last posted on here with a build project and having been able to procure the parts needed for this Yokomo MX-4 Hybrid, I would like to share some of the parts used and build progress with you all. I was...

Cio Vincenzo,
this is the lipo holder i've designed.....very simple....
i've made slots to empty the cutouts on the chassis....and bolted holder on the other side.
I acquired this via Facebook. Talked with him some, and found he only ran it a few times. From the looks of it, it definitely hadn't been run much. The belts look new....
Once in a while, usually each year around the quieter holiday season, I find some time to work on one of too many projects... I always wanted to build an 870C with the narrow chassis. Still in progress, but I thought I share it already with you...
Last post
Very impressive work there. I have the same chassis, and you did a great job with all the details. What Lunsford lengths did you end up purchasing?
I just checked my last order and it must have been those for both kits (the lipo and the 6-cell...
I'm awaiting a car I've sourced from ebay, so scratch my YZ-10 itch. I believe it's a works '91, and I've managed to dig up a manual, and think I've sourced a rear drive belt for it.
Would anyone be able to help with the lengths of the...
Last post
Hey, congrats on the pickup, 91’ is a personal favorite of mine, iconic car. Don’t be disheartened by the aftermarket parts, the shocks, arms, turnbuckles, ball cups, diff caps, diffs, belts etc etc appear original or at minimum period/car correct....
Hello everybody! Does anyone know if there is a source for 879c driveshafts or something adaptable?
What would be the part number, for fronts and rears?
Thanks in advance!
Slowly putting project pink together.... if the Euro Composite chassis set wasn't rare enough it also has a WASP XL orange belt drivetrain and slipper, white SRM rear uprights to go with the white cold weather Yoke wishbones, Brimod (intermediate...

Gah, my eyes!
I think Kyosho makes neon pink tiewraps. You better use those.
Does anybody have an information about these Vintage 834B Aluminum wheels?
They are very well made and would really like to know who made them.
Thanks!
Here is a Yokomo YZ10 Pavidis Edition with the 97 JMRCA Specification parts installed. These 3 specific parts were used in prototype form by the Yokomo Team at the 1997 IFMAR Worlds Warm-Up event and later that year released in production form and...

Thanks Vin!
That was very helpful for me. Looking forward to your other 97 build!
So I am trying to restore my first 870c. I found a super clean car that just has a broken front C hub. Looks like I need ZC-413. All other 413 variants look to be incorrect as the lower hinge pin goes through the outer end of the c hub instead of...

More castor will allow better turn in. Cliff Letts article in RCCA in Dec 1990 shows the blocks used.
I have a YZ10/project and unfortunately I don't have a manual for it. This is the U.S. release version of the YZ870C. I was able to get an 870C manual online but I was surprised that there seems to be no online/PDF manual for the YZ10. Every place...

Sorry to resurrect this. I am new to the forum as I am getting back into my old RCs I found in the attic from when I was a kid. My fav was the YZ-10 which I would have bought some time around 88/89 since I didnt even have my drivers license yet (I...
I am tearing down my newly rediscovered YZ10. As I do it I noticed that most, if not all, of the screws going into the front and rear magnesium bulkheads are Aluminum. Interesting choice but I would rather just replace all of them with...
Last post
Thanks jwscab . That's what I thought. My chemistry/metallurgy is pretty rusty from college but I remember magnesium being particularly reactive. Really wish they used something else.
I am in the process of rebuilding my yz10. One thing that is bothering me is the shocks. They do not feel right. I have a feeling they have the wrong springs on them. Does anyone know what would work as proper replacements. I am not...
My personal favourite pro 10 chassis . It’s just a cool looking machine
Last post
Wow! Another one I would never get dirty! Where did you find that 917 body? Looks stunning. And sitting on a rare Yok to boot! You even have a nice matching motor in there as well. Build of the month entry for sure!
Why were there rubber gaskets under the bulkheads? Does anyone make replacements? I have a Composite Craft Lower deck that is 2.7mm thick and weighs 128 grams seems a lot stiffer that the Yokomo part that weighs 140 grams. Seem odd to me that the...

I did a similar weigh-in experiment when I had a couple of 870c's stripped down... although both had the stock centre spine still attached.
The standard 870c/YZ-10 chassis like yours plus spine came in at 154grams, but what amazed me was the other,...
Hi yokomo fans, i just bought a beaten up yokomo 834b SE, the buggy hasn't arrived yet so i don't really no how bad it is but i am not to stressed because i justb bought a huge ebay lot which contains a whole heap off Vintage Delta Yokomo Dogfighter...

This is a photo of the original body NIP and the header card says it is designated ZB-GL, I think I got this picture off Yahoo Japan a number of years ago and I think it sold for pretty big money back then which probably was at least 5 years ago. So...
A question for those who have found alternative wing mounting options for their race yz10s, what are they?
My driving skills are at such a level I keep bending the standard wire setup :roll: :lol: and wondered if there were any other modern and...
Last post
Looking into this further it may be more complicated than I first thought as my 91 runs a custom Fibre Lyte rear shock tower that forces a lower wing stay fixing position, I think I’m just going to have to try a few different stays and see what...
hi all, im restoring a 94 yz10, and wanted to clean the magnesium motor mount up, i want it to look orginal, and dont want to polish it. any suggestions on what the best product or method to use would be?
Last post
I used a coffee machine descaler powder like (Puly Cleaner), you only need to dip the bulkheads for about 30 seconds, you get a bit of a volatile reaction, but straight out on to clean water. The parts go black, but that washes off with dishwasher...
I've owned my YZ-10 Pavidis since new back in 1995/6 when I used to race at Southport in the UK. I bought it from Formby Models and only raced it the once before retiring from racing so it's only done around 30 mins of racing in its...
Glad to share in the joy of the hobby. This is an all original 1994 YZ-10 Super Dogfighter YZ-10 with original electronics.
Discovered recently during the pandemic, that this is the car shown on the bottom of the box.

It’s just so cool, literally decades spent staring at the box and ‘poof’ here is the actual car. Really appreciate you taking the time to take those pics and respond, ends a very very long mystery for me, thank you.
Ok... so who is ready to see an amazing transformation....? I have been gathering a few nice optional parts for a Works build for a while now, whilst keeping my eyes open for a suitable donor car.
This bargain then appeared, and I felt so sorry for...

I have the painted bodyshell and decals ready to go on to the Pinkomo now also.... home in a few days so will get that together and get some piccies up.
So i have posted up threads about a few of my cars now, including my Works Yokomo which I rounded off my racing days with bitd. Before that i had an early 870c though, which I eventually replaced and passed over to my father to race, which he indeed...
Last post
This is one i am really excited about getting back together, just how it was and how my father built it. I had more races and race wins with this than will all of my other cars combined so much of my racing history is involving this car.
Received this Wonder Dog chassis in much worse condition than pictures showed. Par for the course :roll:
I was going to put it in the junk pile but decided to turn it into a project.
Last post
Really turned out great. I love projects like this. Very talented.
Well I can’t put it off any longer, these parts have been laid about for around ten years, I’ve been so embroiled in RC10s and Losis I kind of lost the love for the project.
Time to get the hammers and chisels out.
Last post
So I’ve got it to a roller.
I can’t decided if I’m going to stick with the NRG alloys shown or break open the NIP OEM wheels, I’m going to do a little trial fit once the body set is painted and on.
Yokomo chain, wheels, gears (dark = older) rear shock mount motor spacer rear tranny all are hallmark Yokomo dog fighter.....

Always wanted one of these, having been a total Yokomo guy bitd, but i started out with an 870c and just missed out on the 834b era. I got offered this example in a trade and jumped at it.... and it arrived a couple off days ago. It looks very very...

Hello everybody,
