Just got this car from Singapore and the owner doesnt know anything about Yokomo, accidentally it was included on the house auction and was left in the basement for many years.

Those turnbuckles are just Gold anodized aluminum not really strong enough for racing maybe the owner just kept it as a shelfer.

Those are Tech Racing turnbuckles and yes they are not strong enough for racing

Im working on bleaching the white plastic parts 'Hydrogen Peroxide' then replacement of screws, i'll go for stainless steel by RCScrewz

Cool nice project, interesting to see how white the parts come out

Post by **geeforce59** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 3:19 pm

I will soak first all the white parts in a half gallon of water with detergent and clorox then i'll go for the 'HP' tips from the guys here.

Let see how white it can be!

Looking for front and rear black wheels set with outer webs and 4 studs holes!

and a 'TCS'

This looks like a nice project - everything is there, it just all needs a good clean & a bit of 'elbow grease' to make it into a good looking buggy again

I'm guessing you got it for a good price??

P.S; Its been along while since i've seen a set of those Schumacher bar-spike tyres

My first thought was they're Tamiya Hybrid tires that came with the Egress, I just can't see the "Tamiya Super Gripper" letters on the sidewall.
