YOKOMO 834 Dogfighter project

[Bormac]

Hello Yoke fans. I almost put this project out the door but I want to have another go at it now. Im short one of the gears for the transmission so I wanted to see if anyone could help me out. Im also in need of one of the pivot pins for the rear suspension trailing arm (32mm x 5mm).
Please drop me a PM if you can.

Ive just purchased a pair of the alloy top shock mounting items from Pargu2000 and a set of new king pins also. I have some flanged bearings on the way and am yet to decide on a shell. My thoughts are the 2 seater funco shell from Mr Lexan.
Still need this gear in the transmision though

Lastly I will need to decide on dampers to go all round. Any suggestions?

Pm sent on gear.

A very big thanks to Mr Brutal. This should see my 834b ready to roll!

Got the flanged bearing in today so I wanted to get some of this car put together. Still waiting on the king pins and alloy top rear shock mounts from Pargu2000.
Will get the steering and track rods sorted shortly too.

Al, if you are still watching I still require that gear for the trans (shaft too) and the rear suspension pivot pin too please. I will definately have to return the favour!

Jason, I posted on this last Monday morning.

Received the repro King Pins and b e a u t i f u l alloy top shock mounts from Pargu2000 and they are awesome! Have them fitted up already and the car is sitting on its wheels happily.

Only need the gear from Al and shell from Mr Lexan now. Cant wait to test drive this baby!

Looks really good Jase. Cant believe your gonna drive it.
It will be cool to see going round the track though, afterall thats what they are for.

Sure hope the mail service is doing their job, I want to see this baby flying around the track also.

Jason, would love to see a closeup picture if possible of the Pargu shock mounts on the car with the shocks in place.

That looks like another winner from you Jason. It's great to see another 834B out there. Mine is complete and mostly mint less a front bumper. I love these cars since thy are so different!

I have been at it again. This time i have the extra idler gear from AL which has gone into the trans allong with a full set of flanged bearings to replace the bronze bushings. Now the car is fully ballraced.

The last rear pivot pin went in also (thanks again AL ) and now the car is sitting on its wheels.

The angled spoke rims aren't staying on this build as the aim is to run 2.0" pink 870c rims instead (anyone got any new rears they wish to sell/trade????)

I have an 87 Trinity stock motor bolted up along with a mini Novak servo soon to be joined by Novak receiver and esc too.

...oh and have a look at these alloy rear damper mounts! These things are a work of art and Im sure most will agree a very very worth while investment. Not only are the plastic ones near impossible to find but these alloy items are bullet proof!

[a01butal]

Now we're talking, looking good Jason. Don't have the rear pinkies but I'm sure someone around here does. This will be really cool on the track.

Thanks again AL. Im not sure how much track time this car will get to be honest. Thats not from a lack of want but the tracks here in Sydney are becoming less 'vintage friendly' than previous years with more and more big jumps being incorperated.

If only we could get a more flat track sorted somewhere....hmmmm.
