Apologies for the graininess in the photos. I used some image adjustment on my phone to account for the room's incandescent lighting. Anyway, my new baby

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: I sold my soul for a Yokomo
Thanks for sharing, Love the video as well.
Need to get me one of those cars too, got 2 on my ebay watch list but just can't pull the trigger as cash flow is very slow at the moment.

Re: I sold my soul for a Yokomo
Yes this was on eBay recently. I had a light day at work one day and decided to do some eBay trolling. Bad bad bad idea Glad I did, though - this one is a gem.
The car was shipped from Germany, yes.
I am considering taking the new aluminum c-hubs, wheel hubs, and rear hubs from the other YZ10 (the one with the delrin arms) and mounting them on this one, and then using the other one as a runner, as it came with a few battle scars. I'll put that up to a vote. What do you guys think?

Re: I sold my soul for a Yokomo

Re: I sold my soul for a Yokomo
You gotta run one lol, it was a hard choice for me, as mine is new built status now, but i had to drive it ill be doing the same with my 91, i do have a bucket of new parts though for the 94 if i do scar anything, so im not too worried, my vote, get 'er swapped out and run the delrin special, shes a stunner lol.stickboy007 wrote:Yes this was on eBay recently.

One vote is enough for me
The only blemish I was able to find was, not surprisingly, some oxidation on the magnesium motor mount. Hopefully one day I can find an alloy motor mount...

Re: I sold my soul for a Yokomo
Looks great! If those are TR-31 fronts and TR-39 rears like they look like they might be, they might actually be stock- seems like Yokomo put a couple varieties of tires in those kits
That 94' has some nice upgrades too

Re: I sold my soul for a Yokomo
Thanks! You could be right about the tires...
The '94 has the same or substantially similar steering rack as the previous works models. RCPS made a top brace that was used on those prior models (I have one for my 870C) to keep the steering rack from flexing, but I wonder if anybody ever felt a need to use them on the '94...?

The RCPS brace for the 870C doesn't work on the 94, but the WCS 93' uses a brace-
