Yokomo 870C runner

Post by phoenix »

Had a chassis around for quite a while, started to build a runner.

Shocks built and top deck attached. New wheel set, turnbuckles and RPM suspension.

I have installed black yr-4 bulkhead caps temporarily - if someone knows how to strip lexan paint from the original bulkheads, i'd appreciate any tips.

Where do you plan to run; vintage class, club, skatepark or just parking lots and grass fields?

I will run it mostly on grass and hard packed tracks.

The green body might not be the best choice for grass tracks. I didn't care for that much till I got complaints from other drivers running into me. Well, actually the fact they ran into me so often and at high speed was worse than the complaints ;)
