Hi all I thought I would share with you my latest toy car resto i have always loved the yokomos so naturally wanted one of these since first seeing Duals on here way back when and then DJ gonzos, so now I have one I thought I would show you all some pics. Having done a bit of research on these (ther...

If you need the race numbers I have one only stuck on an old toolbox

actually its not in very good shape but its the real deal

Thanks for the kind words gents I'm just glad that AE produced these iconic bodies once more I wonder if we will ever look at forward cabs as fondly

and with team moo paint

Not a nut and bolt replica more of a period correct racer with one of my favourite paint schemes of the day. I don't miss the brushed motors the 6 cell packs or the frequency board but I do miss the tracks that these things ran on

stickers on This shell was given to me by a friend I raced with back in the day as he had kept all his stuff the white is probably Tamiya paint the rest was pactra he tells me, but long story short the pactra had all cracked and flaked off so I removed it by soaking it in metho and was left with the...

Just Tamiya white to go with the front of the body.

This car has honestly been in a box for 9 years before I decided to finish it (nearly) It was bought from ebay HK but I believe it came from japan as the original body (destroyed when some goose tried to remove the paint) had yatabe stickers and JMRCA #s on it, anyway here it is all I really did was...

Here you go and sorry it's not for sale.

Also yes it is the same plug from the hot lap wheels 100%
