Wow that car with the Andy's arms has such a wafer thin cut-out graphite chassis. Very cool, fragile but cool.

Nice collection.

Yep your right, they come of an MX-4, I have a set on my Works '91/92 which have been modified to fit. Would be nice to see if the MX-4/MR4-BC driveshafts and hubs can be made to fit the YZ10s.
Nice collection for sure!
How did you modify the earlier models to fit the MX4 style wheels?
MX4 driveshafts can be made to fit the 95+ models for sure, not quite positive on the earlier ones. The MX4 driveshafts are a touch shorter than the stock YZ10 ones, but still seem OK. All that is needed are new bearings for the front and rear to accommodate the thicker MX4 axles. I can't remember the exact bearing specs, but the MX4 axles are 1mm thicker for sure, but I don't remember the bearing OD. Of course, finding the MX4 wheel hubs may be a tough order! All of this is in the works for me for a very special build, once I get the time!

thanks for the info! I didn't know about the MX-4 slipper being a direct fit. Good to know!

What chassis is that in the top right: with the battery slots on one side straight along the belt?
Is it for the buggies or on-road (YR-4?)
