Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find Yokomo YZ-10 parts in the United States? I've seen a few on Ebay, but I haven't seen what I need. Specifically, I'm looking for the servo saver plastic parts (ZC-202). The YokomoUSA site doesn't appear to sell parts online anymore. I saw the notice when I clicked "Add to Cart".

I would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks in advance.

Hi welcome to the site, we spoke through my blog yesterday, if you don't have any luck aquiring that part let me know and I'll order it and send it out to you. Any other parts you need?

Yokomo pulled Yokomo USA a couple of years ago and it has been hard to get parts since over there.

Have to be carefull here as you don't have BST privilege yet (give the rules a quick look) and the "Wanted" forum is in there. I have sent a pm about your item though.

Thanks for the tip about the rules. That seems like kind of a funny rule to me--having to earn the right to buy or sell something--but I'm sure there are good reasons for it.

My YZ-10's been sitting on a shelf for several years. I've had it since the mid/late 90's, and it's never been run that much. I tried to sell it and my other cars a few times in yard sale, but I never had any luck, and I really didn't want to get rid of them anyway. Now that my son's old enough to race with me, I 'm glad I didn't. When I started looking for parts, I was suprised to find that the YZ-10 appears to have become somewhat of a collector's item. Now I'm glad I didn't sell it :lol:

I currently have an RC-10 (customized aluminum tub with Stealth tranny), the YZ-10, and my son has a new SC-10. R/C racing has all but died in our area, but I still love it. I built a small track behind my house, because there's nowhere else close to race.
