Here is a Yokomo YZ10 Pavidis Edition with the 97 JMRCA Specification parts installed. These 3 specific parts were used in prototype form by the Yokomo Team at the 1997 IFMAR Worlds Warm-Up event and later that year released in production form and won the 1997 All Japan National Titles driven by Mas...

Hi Dual, That’s a beautiful’97 ! May I ask if those are Team Suzuki hubs that came originally black anodized? And did Yokomo ever released the Pavidis front one-way pulley as a spare part? Best, Shian Thank you Shian and blast. Very much appreciated. To answer your questions Shian, the Team Suzuki ...

I don't think I really have a "favorite" esc. Throughout my racing days I was pretty much a Tekin guy. 411p, 412p, P2, G9, etc. I did have a few Novak esc's like a T1x and a T4 in my early days that I picked up used. As for esc's in my collection, I'd probably go with something that is on ...

Stunning !

When I was working at Tammies, a very large hobby shop in Oregon, the Athlete was the 1/8 to have. We also sold the inferno, hodr, and pirate m1 but the Athlete was by far the choice for racing. Our shop even made a couple purple anodized braces for the front to center and rear to center. So, what’s...

Love this era 1/8 buggies. Enjoy the great pictures of the build you’ve posted.

Here goes the start of my Mugen Athlete build. I have already begun a Mugen Super Sport build thread which has sat idle for quite a while. It is waiting on parts to be anodized. I am hoping to finish both of them in the near decade. This build starts with a very special milled and hard anodized chas...

Getting the front end started. I am using carbon fiber towers from a Super Athlete. Also using front and rear upgraded aluminum pivot blocks.

I was fortunate to find 2 pairs of new shocks in blue. I think they will fit well with the purple on the rest of the car.

I added these gold anodized aluminum C-hubs to the front. I'm not sure who made them, but they are machined very nicely. I had originally planned to install these blue aluminum pieces, but the fit is a little different, so I believe they are for a MP5/6. They could have been made to work, but it wou...

Wow! This car is really amazing looking. Great choice on the paintwork. These are such iconic and great looking cars. You made an amazing build!

I really need to get going on mine. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!

Lovely car yeah the arms are carbon filled, i still have nip parts for it ,

This example is quite cool, and looks very much like your standard off-the-shelf Reedy modified, even so far as that the defining ‘Dot/Star’ has fallen off over time. However this motor has been sourced directly from Team Associated, Yokomo and Reedy driver Michael Ebert, who raced at a pretty high ...

Wow the car look great especially with the electronics installed now.

I think the chances of coming across that Ko Propo servo are pretty slim but it was the only part that was really holding this project up, so I threw in a placeholder to wrap things up. Eleven years after starting this project, it is hard to believe I am finally in the home stretch….did some work th...

Very nice documentation of your build.
Well done, impressive Buggy!
