new 1st post

Post by steve »

hi all . I have been looking around here for some time and joind because I need some help . I just pick up a rc10 mip chain drive but no chain , the sprokets are i rough shape . I was hoping that some one knows were to find somthing that will work. or has some idea on part to go with a belt not dig on the belt .
so I do have a cool story on this car . The guy that ownd the car worked a the lhs that helped me in the 80s with my first car and though out the years . frank had this car in the case for all to see I loved to drool over this car thinhing how cool is this . Jump to 2 years ago and sad to say that frank lost his fight with canser, and one of the guys that work there was able to save it from the estate sale . This guy saw that I have a growing collection of vintage car and I now have the car , The hopes are to get this thing back to a nice roller . thanks

If you can figure out what pitch chain you need then you can probably buy replacement from here:

Hey Steve, welcome aboard with a very lucky find there. The sprockets from the Yokomo 834B are the same, same thing for the chain, these should be a LOT easier to find. Good luck.

Looks like it's in not too bad shape. Just get that chain and driveline running smooth and you'll have a great car, ether for running or shelfing.
