YZ10, full rebuild!

[ralphee]

Not too shabby buddy. I do have some TRF511 trays that i think will line up on one hole of the YZ10 battery posts, may do some tinkering come the time, but I'm sure i read B44 trays fit very well too?

If B44 trays fit, then I'm not sure how. I just got a B44 tray for one of my CAT 2000s and I tried fitting it on the YZ10. I was not able to get it to fit. At least for the left hand side, the motor mount and the center post get in the way and so you cannot use the full size of the B44 tray. If you do the C-shape and U-shape approach I took with that tray, then you can probably get it in there...

I think fakiee put a gear chart on the yoke forum sometime back as I needed gearing advice too.

Guys i scored two sealed Novak 40mhz AM Polaris receivers last week, wanted one for ages to fit into my this model (for nostalgic reasons) sooooo, i have a question, can anybody recommend a higher end 40mhz am radio, I've got a Vantage R, but obviously its FM, and ill i can sees round are Acoms, and the odd Megatech, fancied something more specced up!

You might want to check into whether Airtronics made a 40 MHz AM module for the Exzes.

[ralphee]

I can find Sanwa modules buddy, but nothing noting its for the Exzes.....unless I'm just being dense

[naushad]

umm...aren't airtronics and sanwa both the same?

[ralphee]

Thats what meant, i CAN find the MODULES, be it Airtronics or Sanwa, just not the correct compatibility info Typical

Painted myself a new shell for racing, and started on fitting the lipo packs. Ive used lipo locators, and filed a tad of the front posts, so i can keep it neat and as original as can be, just need to raise the posts now on spacers and were set. I ve added some ballast, but i think ill need more as i go, 20g at the cell/centre line, and 10g in the front, just need to get more steering.

That's pretty interesting. Could you show some pics of the lipo "tray" assembly without the batteries installed?

[rccars4sal]

me 3 on pics of lipo tray set up.

[ralphee]

Its not a tray guys, didnt fancy that route, these are carbon pieces you CA to the lipo, works great!
