I recall this one as being an YZ10 - Is this correct?

Yes a YZ 10/870c. It has an after market rear shock mount and a peculiar (home made) half top deck and Kyosho gold shocks.

Thanks Alex - This model had no top deck from stock?

This one then? It must some kind of works - I think the motor says Yokomo pro?

the 870c had the carbon fiber right angle backbone, which is installed in your car, no top plate. That half top plate looks like a place to put a servo, probably for a mechanical speed controller.

Yep, with a slightly modified steering setup and non standard turnbuckles and a RPM bumper.

Thanks for Your kind answers -
What about the motor - is it standard Yokomo stock for a 91´ works?

I believe the 91' never came with a motor out of the box.

Thanks again - but did Yokomo produce a motor labelled "pro" ?

Yes the last one is the Hotdog. The chassis, bulkheads, shock mounts and shocks are 1st generation YR4, the first Yokomo touring car. The suspension is that of a 91'. Interestingly the Hotdog came with rear dogbones and only 5 balls per diff. It also shared the same centre shaft and spur gear as the later YZ 10.

Many thanks for the information - Is it still possible to source chassis parts for this one or the YR4?
I´have a new build YR4 without the top deck and that makes it flex just a little on the good side :-)
