Yokomo MX4 restoration

[Mr. ED]

oh, and the front gearbox top cover is a pain to get also.
There's some tiny screw you have to drill a hole for and put in, or the shocktower mount points 'll break easily... And apparently lots of people have overlooked that in the manual

Eh?

Where is that then?! Some more details would be nice.

I have the supplement whcih came with the UK kits...doesn't mention that mod.

are you talking about the mr4bc bulkhead cap?

[Mr. ED]

you're both right
It's been a while since I've been busy with these girls

[littleVETTE]

i could see why you got it mixed up. when the mr4bc came out there were some that were fitting on newer parts from the bc onto the older mx4.

[Mr. ED]

while I got your attention: does anybody know why there were 3 or so different versions of the front shocktower (MX4)
I think I even saw fibrelyte makes 2 versons

[littleVETTE]

more tuning options of course.

Has anyone done a parts interchange yet for the MR4BC and MX-4, YZ's, etc..? It would be very handy for a chump like myself.

That looks like a great car! Still have the vintage electrics too! Is that tekin esc the same masami used in the worlds? This esc also had a yokomo logo on it!

I've fortunately got enough parts for another runner build and spares. But it is becoming difficult to find certain bits such as the main chassis.

I'm going to start racing mine again after about a 13 yr hiadus. I dig this car. I had a YZ-10 World's Team car prior to this. i gotta dig up the pics of that one. Are you guys having a tough time finding parts now?

I have no idea. It's a Tekin G12c. I'm going to continue to run the same electronics unless I have some sort of an issue. Even then, I have spares. I like that Novak rec. because it is compact. and light.

[naushad]

Actually it was the Tekin m-star, not the one you have. The m-star was the esc Masami used to win the 1997 IFMAR championships. Looked like the Tekin g-9.

Anyway, nice electrics!!

Servo is an Airtronics 94157........ I love 'em!

These are smart looking buggies indeed. Never considered one before seeing this thread but now I may have to try and find one.

Mx4 - MR4 BC

suspension parts
rear bulkhead??
diff pulleys
wheels
rear belt

They look more similar at first glance.

Yz10 - MX4
Screws, probably diff balls. Not much else
