RPS Yokomo SE

I hope you guys keep the moters a bit down: I'm not planning to put any wild stuff into my vintage buggies.

I'm using 23-30t motors for old cars (like 834B) to protect tranny. But in case of RC10&10T/Stealth, YZ870C and so on, I use much hotter motor like 13t, 15t. Yatabe's vintage class is competed by control motors. 2wd cars and 4wd cars run at once but 2wd must use Yokomo Pro Stock 27T and 4wd is 30T of same. So, you have to choose the pinion very seriously.

I have made account for Tanaka and invited him to here. He's perplexed little bit but promised to post something. Please wait for his reaction.

Well, do you know who he is?

[mrlexan]

Is that you?

[kustomizerz]

NOooooooo!

[scr8p]

that's a great collection of cars you have there.

welcome to the board, by the way..............

[Mr. ED]

I'm guessing that's Tanaka-san, the Tomahawk seems to be among his favourite cars.

I don't have the moters you mentioned , but I do have those wounds from other producers.
How many minutes do you race for: I will do some pinion testing in advance.
Can you give me a starting point for the advisable end-ratio (with 2.2 sized wheels)?

For buggies I run a 4WD converted ultima and 2WD ultima with A&L gear box.
The 4WD is not made for jumping though: the slingshot front has too little kick-up.
From the pictures I've seen on the Yatabe circuit that would be a problem.

Is the A&L gearbox permitted?
(If you can tell me where to find the rules, my wife can translate some parts for me)

ooh, I'm so excited to have you here on the forum: I met some people from the yatabe arena on the championships at Ichinore, but no real vintage enthusiasts.

Is he Mr. HPI or a long time associate of HPI?

Hi tak , you have a very impressive Collection of Rare cars.
i could not bring myself to drive such nice cars.
I am a huge schumacher fan , and on the timetunnel site there is a guy with multiple schumacher cars like Cat SWB -XLS-procat-Topcat and more.
Do you know this guy also . (does he has his own site) ?

[Eau Rouge]

Wow, MASSIVE thread drift here...

Maybe we start a Time Tunnel thread instead.

[Dr. Robotnik]

I'll get it back on track if I may, with a simple question, what's that piece behind the rear bulkhead on your car there mate? It kind of looks like a grp sheet of some sort with alloy brackets...

[Dr. Robotnik]

Well Ed if you'd just check the earlier posts in the thread you'd see that it's some sort of bracket for the rear oval body mount thingamajig.... why thanks Ed that was very informative ...sorry back to the tangent, I once went on time tunnel and.....

[kustomizerz]

He is Akira, who produced Kyosho Scorpion, Tomahawk, Optima, Javelin, Ultima, Optima Mid, Fantom EP, Maxxam and more, back in 1980s. All body and chassis designs of them were done by Akira. He is working for HPI now and is US resident but he often come back to Japan and join our meeting.

Race approved motors have being sold at Yatabe only. You can buy that in the morning of the race day. Race duration is 4 minutes. End-ratio will be 1:6.5 - 1:8.0 depends on car and course profile. Need some test to decide it.

Is the A&L gearbox permitted?

Yes it is. Tranny case and control arms must be that have been sold before 1989. Rules is here; http://www.pagoda-net.com/yatabearena/
But actually, the next race is in next year. Yatabe's off-road track is now under construction.

Do you know this guy also . (does he has his own site) ?

Yes, http://www.kvrcb.com/
I think he doesn't have SWB, because he's wanting my SWB

[jeroen206]

Is this your SWB Cat ?
where does the Shell come from ?
are there some available ?

[kustomizerz]

No, it's not mine and not my friend's in above. The owner is my another friend but he's not schumacher collector.

Hi

I am Tanaka in TIME TUNNEL.

I cannot speak English.
It translates into English with a translation software.

It was called by Tak.
Tak is a good R/Ccar companion.
It is glad to meet the companion of the same hobby.

My best regards.

[mrlexan]

Welcome Tanaka..... we have all long admired your site and some of the fabulous paint schemes you have created. Both you and Tak have been talked about for a long time on this site (all good discussions and intentions of course). Glad to see you here.
