yokomo help

[ericsp2]

how do you know what year yokomo buggy you have? also where cn we get manuals for the one we have?

[fakiee]

Best way is to post some pictures of the Yoke, that way plenty of people here will help you point out the version you have. There are some manuals in the Scans archive.

[Mr. ED]

yep, and check thread with yokomo timeline in the title
(if the search function can find it )

[Asso_man!]

you'll find the timeline thread HERE

[ericsp2]

how do i post pics here??

[Synergy]

Firstly resize them to no bigger than 800x600px , hit the "browse" button below the text edit box in the reply to post section, select your image from it's saved location then hit "add the file" and submit and your done.

[ericsp2]

so what is it? i think it's a 91-92 associated yokomo.if so what body fits this thing and where can i get belts and stuff?

[Synergy]

Looks like a 870c to me but I'm not an expert

[bscotti]

yep, 870c.

[YZ-10]

yep, 870c.

+2

[highwayracer]

870c with:

RPM front and rear bulkheads, Kyosho gold shocks (rear had anodizing removed) and I think an after market rear shock tower.

[Asso_man!]

I would say that the rear shocks are Kyosho, but the equalizer version from the Turbo Ultima (for example), they "look" bigger than the fronts...

[ericsp2]

So can i rebuild her? here is what i think i need
diff balls & rings
center shaft looks to have a thrust assembly
some belts
Body
wing mount. i have on on it.

[bscotti]

yah, a rebuild isn't too tough. The hardest parts to find will be the body and undertray (I have a few decent used bodies if you're interested). The front belt (ZC651) shows up pretty frequently on Ebay, rear belt (ZC656) is still available from Yokomo USA and is on Ebay here and there. For the wing mounts, you'll probably end up with the Trinity adjustable ones on Tower Hobby http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=000480592&I=LXKA33&P=K. I also have some nice aftermarket (JG) battery hold downs that you're missing. Fortunately, many of the diff and driveline parts are still available as they are identical to the on road models and later YZ10s.

Steve Husting was nice enough to post the parts list for your particular model. Here's a link to it.

Great! thanks for the help. send me some pics of the bodies.([email protected]) . also what about arms and wheels are there sutible replacements . wheels are faded and don't know if i can re dye.

as far as diff stuff where can i download a manual or buy a copy from someone.
