'89 Worlds Masami 4 + 2 Yokomo Chassis....
'89 Worlds Masami 4 + 2 Yokomo Chassis.... What is the deal with this sucker?? Does anyone from the forum have one? Are they available ever? Has anyone seen one sold? Does someone have a CAD file so we could get them CNC routered?

If we can find a chassis, I'll be happy to do the CAD work. I hand made a copy after I saw the pictures back in 89-90. Here's a picture of the 91 works chassis I did. It was also sent to Fibre-lyte if anyone else wants to order one from them.

Were those shock caps specially made for the Team drivers at that time ?? seems that they had never ever been available in the market.

They were never available as a retail item, team only. But a few guys here have found some or have them.

Is there something special about these shock caps?
Please explain what the difference is, thanks.

they're the standard aluminum caps, but they're hard anodized, and only available to the team drivers.

Re: '89 Worlds Masami 4 + 2 Yokomo Chassis....
how can you tell the difference between team black caps and these hard anodized. Remember I'm color blind so please be kind.

they're actually done with a clear hard anodize. i don't know the best way to describe the color........ sort of a gunmetal.
