HI

Welcome on Board

Abour Bodyshell and undertray, anything most easy than to ask MrLexan.
Jay made amazing quality repro bodyshell and undertray to fit your YZ10 (protech IV body) or to fit the same car but for the Euro and Japenese market the YZ870C.

About front arms, I have NIP black RPM
About rear arms, I have NIP black andy's

thanks for the anwser those mrlexan body where can i see those and is there one that look like the original one of the yz10?

thanks frank

It looks like some kyosho parts were used on the front. The c-carriers and steering knuckles are probably from an optima (mid).
Good choice cause the original casted parts are known to be quite brittle.

The A&L steering belcranks are too far back: you'd better drill 2 new holes for them.

the front nuckles and carrier are RPM parts and where for the yz10

Nice project you got there ! Chassis & top plate still look very good - should be no problem to clean/restore then them.

thanks for the comment people here are realy freindly and helpful it is realy appreciated

frank

what kind of glue is the best to glue the botom spin to the chassi? it look like it was crazy glue on there
and is the botom spine still avalable if mine is crack or should i do one out of a piece of alum?

forgot to ask what is the best way to put those white plastic back to white cuz mine are kind of yellow

thanks

nobody know a good trick to put back the white nilon back to a clean look

thanks frank

A bucket of bleach always does the trick-

forgot to ask what is the best way to put those white plastic back to white cuz mine are kind of yellow

If you meant for the diff covers...spray paint!....you can do whatever colour you want then

for the bleech i alredy try that with a crack diff cover left it soak for the night it was a litle whiter but not top clean do i have to leave it longer than a night and will it affect the plastic make it more fragile?

for the paint it will be my last option cuz it tent to chip and i dont like that

thanks frank

I put heaps of stuff in bleach and it works really well. When you take it out,clean it in some water with a tooth brush or something, it will remove alot more that way too.

Those diff covers were never a pure white colour.....more of a light cream colour. Prep the surface and use the right paint...it will not peel.
