I mentioned in the other thread--what's up with the different-colored front arms??
I'm guessing that either they're testing out different plastics, or they built this one out of spares and couldn't find matching arms. Or maybe it's some crazy new Japanese fashion trend...?

Maybe they are showing compatibility?

Maybe they should've been more consistent with the money-shots. It doesn't look that good. :lol:

Looks like a mock up from a 3D printer

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

+2, as a vintage racer rather than collector the Yz10 has much more appeal.

Wonder why they'd include that in the money shots for the printed ad?

I agree; the white parts looks 3D printed.

Marc, I don't think it's an ad, just an RC Magazine article.

Perhaps as people are mentioning it that these parts are 3D printed and they wanted to see how far this technology could take them by using the 834 as an example of this.

I think that's probably it, J.M. I even wonder how well the threads in those 3D-printed plastic parts hold up to the tapping screws? I wonder if they'll survive the same amount of screwdriver torque as nylon parts?
