As most of you know I am Yokomo fan, although most would say the wrong kind - On-road! I came upon this car, just for some of the electronics. I knew it was a Yokomo just not which version. After Trolling around here, figured out it is a YZ10 94. The cars previous owner has put it through the wringer, and much hardware was either damaged or missing. I just wanted to clean it up a bit, so I cleaned the whole car, and brought the G-10 back to life. I replaced the damaged Hardware, rebuilt the diffs, reglued the top deck - it was rigged with some braces, cleaned as much as I could. I know the hubs in the front are different, one is a stock piece (left) and the other an MX-4 version (right). Has later style Associated Shocks - I did not rebuild them, just cleaned the exterior, cut the front Losi Shock Collar Clamps to give a bit more room on the shock. Previous owner dremel'd a bit on the motor mount, and the rear lower bulkhead, along with cutting out a window for debris to get out the rear bulkhead. Also a set of Wing Mounts were added - I presume from a B4? The Holes are still on the back shock tower. Other than that - its not a resto, just cleaned. Some Hardware is still not correct, just temporary solution used. The car is not setup for anything, just re-assembled.

Thanks guys, it was fun to clean up, and I am glad it smells better now too! I think it was a smokers car.

simple green does wonders with smoke. i've been getting a set of tires with the same problem.

Looks great!
