White Arm Yokomo YZ10 Project~

Post by xxxmain »

I'm currently working on three YZ10 projects right now and since I'm missing parts from all three I'm doing a little work on each machine as the ever elusive parts show up on ebay. I got a hold of some white arms a while back and finally got around to bolting them onto something. Below are some build pics of the project so far. I bead blasted the bulkheads and sprayed a layer of clear Testors Dullcote on them to keep the oxidization away. A quick chassis bath in the magic juice got the chassis pretty clean leaving only a few small blemishes. I also found a set of woven carbon fiber shock towers that look gnarly on this sucker.

I have all of the drive components so I'll be slapping those in shortly. I'll update pics once I get the diffs and center shaft done. I'm missing bulkhead caps for the front and rear and I want to find a set of gold Associated shocks too. As I said, I'm missing parts for all of my yokomos but they keep trickling in over time. Here are some pics so far... more to come as this project progresses.

I did the magnesium stuff myself as per this forums amazing advice!!!! I ordered a small bead blaster from Hobby King and built a blasting box so I could keep the mess at bay and also capture some of the bead media again for reuse. I wrote an article in Xtreme RC Cars Magazine about the build and it was in the Mar. 2011 issue. Below are some pics of the box and the bead blaster I used.

Hey Mike, nope, that's the 1200 SCR you sent me and it's sitting in one of my other Yok projects that I'll be posting pics of shortly. I must say, that car looks way better with the 7th cell :D Thanks again!!! This forum is so amazing.... anyone who is into vintage really needs to be a part of this network of great people.
