Project YZ-10 "M&M" version (May 27th, 2018 updated)

Post by minimini »

Being one of the Yokomo enthuists like many fellow members here....... always keep an eye on any kind of special edition Yokes....... 8)

Lucky enough to get a special Yokomo chassis recently ........ with the great help of Mike........plus the slow motion of minimini .......the project YZ-10 (M&M version = Mike & Mini version) can EVENTUALLY get started...... :)

Let's have a look at the recipe first....... :lol:

Image

Kose red universals (for Tomy EX but also suit Yokomo, not durable but beautiful) & red wheel hubs

Image

F & R belts from Tough Racing because the original belts are not easy to get now ....... I won't run it tough for sure..... :lol:

Image

center shaft with one-way & steering bell-cranks from LHS in Hong Kong
steering hubs from Top M-car

Image

Stay tuned....... :mrgreen:

Beautiful. I hope you stick with the red theme for all the hardware, that'll look awesome. A set of 3Racing red alloy ball studs and/or hex balls to pimp up the various linkages might be worth a look. :)

Looking promising...I also used those universals on the intruder on the intruder I recently put together.

They actually made up of two parts that screw together - the one half being th dog bone shaft and the other being the shaft for the wheel.

I think you will have to apply thread lock to ensure they don't unscrew whilst the car is in motion as his happens on my intruder!

too bad was it a custom chassy ?

i use to have a yz10 with rpm bulkheads, arms, and the one way drive .. it was a blast

i just didnt care for the idler for the front belt.. if you didnt have enough tension on it the belt would skip
