Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - July 2024 ** - Winner -GrePo
I wouldn't have thought that my quite box stock build will disqualify me from this lovely contest till end of the year. Lessons learned of last two months: laydown suspension seems to be the winning secret. In fact I actually wanted to post another Yokomo from the 90s but Frankentruck's great suspension concept last month motivated me to dig out my oldest model. It looked really poor 5 weeks ago because all the original stickers were gone. I found a Kyosho sticker sheet from 1984, don't know which model it belongs to. After pimp up with this period correct stickers, I also thought wow, now it looks like out of a time capsule. Thank you all who thanked and voted. This month was fun to watch till the end. My personal favourite was the mid engined RC10. Black+Gold=Tekin. Simpy Delicious! At last, a picture of Yokomo YZ-834B 1984 box-art style by Graupner distribution.

Congrats GrePo, you've got a fantastic original dogfighter! That's the thing about 10talk, people bring their passion for the rc10's but we absolutely love everything else just as much! 

Old school racing all the way!

Congrats on the win! Hard to deny a nice Yoke. The Vanning really has to be seen in person to be appreciated.

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
