Re: mr4-bc or works 93 runner?

I think id like to run a YZ with modern electronics, but i just love vintage gear i guess, may ponder brushless for the 91 in time, but just something about using period gear in the 94. That said, reckon we can get our heads together and get a dedicated set of lipo trays made for these things?

Re: I sold my soul for a Yokomo

One vote is enough for me ;) The only blemish I was able to find was, not surprisingly, some oxidation on the magnesium motor mount. Hopefully one day I can find an alloy motor mount... I got a NIP mount, its unopened but its still very dull from age, id just get your one bead blasted, they look am...

Re: I sold my soul for a Yokomo

Yes this was on eBay recently. I had a light day at work one day and decided to do some eBay trolling. Bad bad bad idea ;) Glad I did, though - this one is a gem. The car was shipped from Germany, yes. I am considering taking the new aluminum c-hubs, wheel hubs, and rear hubs from the other YZ10 (t...
