Yokomo 870C - Masami style NIB build project documentation
Hi all,
you knew this had to happen sometime . I thought i cannot leave this kit sitting around in the garage and have therefore chosen to start a build project that i'll document as far as possible for the past.
I am starting with a new original YZ-10 kit (e.g. 870C U.S. version), a nicely Masami-Style painted body from Vincent and a few option parts (topdeck, steering brace, longer steering posts, pink wheels and such). There are more parts to come that i have not pictured yet, i am quite sure to add teflon coated associated shocks and maybe the long arms rear end. Electronics-wise a matching new reedy motor with green label is already eager to meet it's magnesium motor mount.
So here are the pics to start this off:
Box:
Masami style body:
Option parts:
Kit parts on table:

When I was a kid, my LHS had one of these kits for sale for years but I could never afford it.
It's nice to see such a clean example to bring back some memories.

That's what i had in mind first But i will be too time consuming to repro the chassis or to get hold of one.Soncho Ponza wrote:Is this going to be a build of the car he ran with the 4 cells on R saddle, and 2 Left side lengthwise...

BAG 3: Main Gear Assembly
I used WD-40 and sometimes oil on all steel parts in the kit.
I opted for the all time 4wd config and put the one-way in the spare parts box
