11 and a half years old MX-4
11 and a half years old MX-4
I bought this at the first day yokomo released it. I remember that was April '98
only 30 to 40 boxes were came from the factory. and all those were already pre-ordered
this first batch's MX-4 had different F/R bulkhead than later one. and it still has the original bulkheads
the body is my 2nd one. the 1st one was torn in a month. the undertray is still the first one.
I put 2 front shock towers together. and I used MR-4 BC rear shock tower. still have both rear ones
this was sold to my friend 6 maybe 7 years ago. and I asked him getting this back at this June. and it came back to me at July
he still had reedy sonic 2 motor, sanwa (airtronics) ERZ-ZR servo, and LRP V6 those were installed in this MX-4
I put the 3rd rotor in this motor. this one was made for Reedy Ti series. and it works great. I put same one in my old reedy sonic
only the problem is.. he couldn't find the battery braces. me neither

i bought it probably 8-9 years ago, from a sponsored driver, whose name i didnt recognize, i paid something like 200 for shipping because he said he would include a thousand dollars in extra parts, and he included WAY more than that. probably about 200 sets of race tires at the time too..

you have a masterpiece. the soft sliver spring and extra weights on the servo tell me the difference

I recently aquired an MX 4 and I must say it has grown on me alot. I scared of running it though at club level as the shock towers feel pretty fragile, well with my driving skills it could become an issue.

thanks, i LOVED running this car, and to have all the spares just made it so much better
i actually had prototype parts that came with the car too, take a look at this article and pictures i posted, these parts i had came with the lot, along with a few others that i have to find.. the prototype chassis cracked on me but its really the same thing as production except for few extra holes

Yatabe arena and Yokomo made and sold 50 kits of prototype MX-4. I saw some of them on ebay and yahoo japan auction. someone took it for $500 on ebay and $800 on yahoo japan last year. I really hope I have one

MX-4 prototype is the most brilliant car in RC history to me.
