I was surprised to find these in a local buy and sell listing, Turns out the guy sellling his collection is a member. :D Never had one, and the closest i ever got to one was an 839b BITD .
My interest in Yokomo stems from this forum , I am amazed at some of the builds that members have. And the history behind the cars almost force you to have one on the shelf , or two :-)
Great little piece of engineering !
I have a third car , not pictured, i found it interesting that on the bottom of the chassis is etched " CHRISTIAN ZIRLING 201277-1277 " Any thoughts????

Along with the cars came these two carbon fiber pieces , could use some help on what thet are for ?

This is a picture of some of our local vintage cars . We have started to get together and trade parts , and a few of us run some laps .

Yokomo made a simliar tread pattern to the Losi X, but the yoke X-spike was much taller then the other pin spikes.
