That's an incredible score. The yz10 looks like he updated one (96/97) with the top deck and almost stock - a rare find! Well done! I can't help feeling a little envious which is uncomfortable to admit since I put a lot of effort in my builds.
Some pics of the rc10 mip would be nice...
Are you calling me odd? Guess it is not the worst thing I have been called. . I know how it is to source parts and spend countless hours on my builds. Lucky finds like this are a bonus though. I spend a lot of time on my paint as well (Brainfart Designs in the paint thread). The RC10 MIP 4wd is incomplete, so I will have to put a lot of effort in that one. Here are some pics.
I meant to say that very few of us find the opportunity to get a great set of cars like yours!!
I apologise if you took it the wrong way!
You've got a great start with that rc10 mip. I look forward to seeing more from you.
No apologies necessary. I took no offense to it. I have many cars, but usually only post pics of my paintwork on here. Think I am going to post some more pics of some of the rare stuff I have. I am going to post one of my favorites to the Tamiya thread shortly. Hopefully I can find the missing pieces to the MIP so I can make it whole again.
Hi been reading and looking at a lot of the posts here in the Yokomo forum, seen a lot of nice cars, a lot of new ideas, a lot of good ideas for restoration and have picked up a heap of tricks you guys have learnt and mastered over the years...

Yep wheels and tyres are as timmy says from JC racing products...nice people. Plus they
are 2.2 inch and fairly deep dish so more suited to the works models and above. I have these on another fairly hopped up yz with the longer Andys front arms and...
So after getting my old Yokomo out of storage and giving it a light dustoff, I though hmmm these cars are fairly rare so maybe I should try and find some parts or a whole 2nd spare car for replacement bits...great idea...as I still really had not...

@rccars4sal, yes, you should be able to directly bolt on your magnesium bulkheads onto a works chassis. The only difference between the 870 and the Works bulkheads is the material - magnesium vs. aluminum, as you state. The aluminum does not oxidize...
This is my old Yokomo I got back after several years and it now is in rough shape but is now in progress of a rebuild....to a Pavidas replica. This is the only Rough Track kit I have ever seen..If anyone can get a part number for this kit I would...

So I need a:
ZD-117J
ZD-733J
Also need 2 Carbon Fiber Small battery hold downs.. I know there are other companies that make them but I am trying to keep it all Factory Yokomo. :)
Thanks!

I have one,new never used...I also had another...
A friend has this Yokomo, not sure which YR-4 version this is. Thinks it's a special or Japanese version.
Last post
the Japanese version had the smaller red shocks, different shock towers, and the super soft black universals. i still say it's an early u.s.a. version. right before the chassis went through an evolution, and came with all the pretty blue stuff.
