YZ10, full rebuild!

Mark, cheers bud, but why not mount your cap via some wire as i have, allows you to move it a little.
As for the sticker, hmm, i know yours is the first gen of Cyclone with the yellow label, the inroad Cyclone was badged as TC due to a smoother profile.........so I'm not sure where mine fits in the family, any Novak gurus in the house?

I suppose I could do that Lee but it's all stuck down now and servo tape is a precious commodity here I'll use your method when the car needs doing up again though.

Would be interesting to find out about these different labelled Cyclones.

OK, thanks to CAT3k (Paul) on here i got hooked up with some retro foam rubber. Decided to get a set trued up on the YZ today, these are in fact a set of Parma trued greens, i just had to cut and chamfer the inside sidewalls, mind you, cutting the rear lip off the rims, and sanding off the ribs, even in a drill press, was a chore.
All done now though, bonded with EVO stik, but, i do have to make a TINY trim to the internal ribs on these ARC wheels, they just catch the edge of the suspension arms, so i kiss with the dremel will sort that in the AM.
A new (racing) body shell, build some NIMH packs, and, i think i can go run this at an indoor meet soon.

Nice to see you've finally got some foams sorted. Look very smart indeed.

[ralphee]

Bought a sheet of 3mm Kydex the other week, really wanted to try make a better bumper, so i just did a trial run with a wooden jig for the bend, and this stuff cuts easily with a razor saw. I bent it in the jig with a hobby heat gun, and its works spot on.
This is the rough draft here, but my word its solved the problem of ever finding a Yokomo NIP one....but to be honest, its a really quick easy task.

Top work on the bumper mate.

[DerbyDan]

Sweet job on the bumper..... I'm impressed!!

Put those into production Lee, when you get the 91 from my good self do that one too. You'll have customers for sure

[ralphee]

Guys i dont mean to talk sales outside the BST, but if i can hook anybody up i will, ive already got a few to make, so just let me know as and when, again if the interest is there ill put in in the BST. This really was a rush job, the following ones will be much better.
