Apologies for the graininess in the photos. I used some image adjustment on my phone to account for the room's incandescent lighting. Anyway, my new baby ;)

Thanks for sharing, Love the video as well.

Need to get me one of those cars too, got 2 on my ebay watch list but just can't pull the trigger as cash flow is very slow at the moment.

Yes this was on eBay recently. I had a light day at work one day and decided to do some eBay trolling. Bad bad bad idea ;) Glad I did, though - this one is a gem.

The car was shipped from Germany, yes.

I am considering taking the new aluminum c-hubs, wheel hubs, and rear hubs from the other YZ10 (the one with the delrin arms) and mounting them on this one, and then using the other one as a runner, as it came with a few battle scars. I'll put that up to a vote. What do you guys think?

They do fetch a bit of moolah now, but i do see super deals now and then, Jose had a lovely one for silly money not so long ago, runners can be found at good prices, super minty ones, yeah, scary lol, i want a second when i finish up my 91.

You gotta run one lol, it was a hard choice for me, as mine is new built status now, but i had to drive it ill be doing the same with my 91, i do have a bucket of new parts though for the 94 if i do scar anything, so im not too worried, my vote, get 'er swapped out and run the delrin special, shes a stunner lol.

One vote is enough for me ;)

The only blemish I was able to find was, not surprisingly, some oxidation on the magnesium motor mount. Hopefully one day I can find an alloy motor mount...

Looks great! If those are TR-31 fronts and TR-39 rears like they look like they might be, they might actually be stock- seems like Yokomo put a couple varieties of tires in those kits 8)

That 94' has some nice upgrades too :D

Thanks! You could be right about the tires...

The '94 has the same or substantially similar steering rack as the previous works models. RCPS made a top brace that was used on those prior models (I have one for my 870C) to keep the steering rack from flexing, but I wonder if anybody ever felt a need to use them on the '94...?

The RCPS brace for the 870C doesn't work on the 94, but the WCS 93' uses a brace-
