Can I open this?

Post by Mr. ED »

I needed some buggy dampers and went to this very dusty old shop.
The owner digged out these from the back-room.
Yokomo YS-1L and YS-1LL (long and longer) The attached picture shows the L set, the LL set is in the same condition.

Any idea which Yokomo they were intended for?

They're perfect for my customized Ultima buggy project, but I'll leave them in the blister a little longer: just in case somebody's desperately looking for these.

Other stuff that came from the back:
1 light-weight and 1 standard YZ-10 super dogfighter body,
1 Andy's body (warrior something) for yokomo.
1 Volks buggy body (never heard of before, anyone got links, pics,...?)
2 Kyosho Triumph bodies

In the racks:
JRX-T tires , 4 rear and 2 fronts, in the original package

I didn't buy any off this but plan to return: take my car to check the fitting of the bodies. I might just as well get a few and try to set up my first e-bay auction :o

I would like the body if it's this one please sir. Sorry, I don't know if you should open your blister pack or not.

That looks like the Andy's body I saw, but I'd be surprised Yokomo was selling Andy's bodies with their kits.

Dimensions look right: longer than the YZ-10, and a little lower behind the cockpit. I guess this is the car it is intended for indeed.

No idea on that 'Volks' body, looked like a thundershot, kinda?

Hi folks, I've had many requests on the bodies and will buy them all from the shop.
I do have several people for the YZ-10's and there's only 2...

Here's my idea: 1 will go to Kenooze, along with the yok shocks.
(He's living closest to Belgium my original country, and therefor can trade with stuff I need)

For the second YZ-10 I got several options:
1. it can go in the trade section here: as soon as I am granted access. *
2. if anyone's willing and got the skills and tools to make repro's, drop us all a note here
I'll keep the standard one for that purpose. Kenooze gets the lightweight.

*: Please don't start bidding inhere as I don't want to get in a fuzz with admin's.

Sofar, I only got 1 person for the Triumphs, so that's clear.

The Andy's body for yok (presumed works 91 or 93) has only one interested buyer, but 2 possible intrests (Did I get that right bscotti?)
I will get it and post pics to clear the questions.

The Volk body: just 1 request sofar, clear.

About pics: I don't have any: they were all original wrapped in the plastic bag with original label. But the bags are dirty and there's not much to see of the clear body inside.

Anyone intersted in the Losi JRX-T tires?

Happy to help out, and hoping to stay on good ground with everyone,
Erik

Ok, guys,
Since Kenooze is taking the Yokomo shocks, I needed to get me something else.
So I went back to that old dusty shop and got these:
- Kyosho equalizer shocks: found only on the Turbo Ultima (well at least in Europe).
These are the very first shocks with a treaded body to my knowledge.
Got me 2 pairs, both medium.
Anybody ever tried these: do they keep the oil well? I plan to use these.

- But just in case: I also got these Tech Racing shocks: 2 long 2 short
Does anybody know these, which car they were designed for...

- Also bought 2 'warrior "off-road" body (yokomo)' from andy's which look like a direct fit for the 91 displayed above.
There would probably be some clearance issues with a works 93 (That one has the rear shocks more forward , right?) Part nr is 3026.
Ferreti: you might want to check if it's to your likes: the design is not exactly a copy. The bags are very dirty, and pics won't show much unless I remove it from the bag...
Mrlexan, I know you'll take one: would you mind me opening the bag and make some pics for Ferreti?
(I can make pics showing the both bags intact , together in 1 pic if you need that guarantee)


- 2 kyosho Triumph bodies

- 1 Volks 'Cyclone' body , for Boomerang (My wife translated that part of the label for me) part nr 2000.

- 2 pairs Losi JRX-T A-7600 pinspike tires. (Left 1 pair A-7500 front ribbed ones on the hook)

- 2 yokomo Super dogfighter bodies, with thanks to Kenooze for the box picture. He asked me to warn you there's adifference between the US and Asia/europe version: it seems ther was no scoop on the roof in the US and the global shap was rounder, softer than the one displayed here.
Part nr is ZC-101S on both , so I gues they're both light weight , but only one label says so in english.

The bad news, kinda.
- I've been checking round and found very little prices for these. Basically I've learned there's only a handfull of these left and they go high- prices on e-bay.
So, till my paypal is set up fully and I got a more precise idea, I'm keeping all deals off a bit. Rest assured: I don't plan throwing the lot on e-bay, but you'll need to wait a bit and pay a right price.

Let me know what you're intrested by PM and I'll make sure to contact you back when I'm posting it in the trade section of this site.

- Kennoze: I didn't find any of the other stuff you listed for me, sorry.

Erik

nice stuff you got there Ed, but I can't help you for those pretty blue shocks which I would be happy to own, please send them to me if you don't need them :roll: the Andy's body makes me think of the Desert Eagle Parma did for the RC10... nice and aerodynamic!
