Going on current values on and off ebay - I would say you are getting the better end of the deal - so yes.
On the other hand - Yokomo are fast gaining ground in terms of dollar value and collectability, as old school drivers from the era catch on to this collecting bug!
I would say go fir it if you really want a Scorpion more than the Yoko it is worth it - as who gives a toss about the dollar value if you want the other car more - its about what you want - not dollars!! (I know you didnt mention dollars - however just covering all the bases).

No, sorry.... the Cat was the one (well, one of the ones) I wanted back in the day as a teenager, but was totally out of my price range. I think at $400.00 or so. I can't bring myself to part with it.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike. www.gojammedia.com
The pics are mighty beautifull . Do you have some text to go with them?
Like: 'I built this' or 'bought it and restored it' or 'this was Gill's car before he turned the other way to check out the trophy girl ' :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm quite pleased with this one , I rather botched the first Dogfighter body I made for my YZ-834b so I had another go , I'm still waiting for the decals but this is what I have so far.
Hey guys, so I just got my Yokomo 834B out of a box in the garage after many many year of sitting. The motor is shot and I'm looking for a good suggestion on a replacement. I don't need a racing motor, just a decent motor. Also wheels/tires to use....

A 17-19 turn brushed motor would go well in it. A good balance between speed and taking it easy on the 20+ year old gears. The wheels are roughly 1.7 which are similar to RC10 so finding some will take patience. I've seen some CRP spike tires...
This car has yet to be restored. I bought this off ebay awhile back. I just found a new unpainted RPS body for it. I still need to tear it down and clean it up. Found some original tires and wheels. I really like the look of these buggies. Does...

Ooooh, can you post the 12i review complete? Please... :)
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 .
Some pics of one of my Favourite modified Dogfigters in my collection. Hope you all enjoy. Cheers.

That's awesome. I have the same parts to do a similar build. What size bearings and shims did you use to mount the rear trailing arms to the aluminum mounts.
