YZ-10 Dark Dog : new clothes for 2015
skip to the 2nd page for the update !
It won't fit the original under-tray, but hey . it's cheap and readily available. Plus I really love the look of it: got a bit of starwars, batman and spidermans goblin all mixed into one mean lean machine.
The only visual bummer is the bulge for the moter, the Yz-10 moter sits further aft and doesn't extend so far out.
but for me it serves perfect: just aligns with the wires of the stick pack on the hot dog chassis.
Picture time: Hope it isn't too much?

Re: cool alternative to the YZ-10 shell
Very nice, but you forgot to let us know where the body comes from
Be careful Ed, it looks like a shelf-queen to me

Re: cool alternative to the YZ-10 shell
I like it, do you have a wing in mind

Re: cool alternative to the YZ-10 shell
I still have a couple unpainted wings, so rather than picking up the full aftermarket pack, I just took the spare body: without wing and decal set. Maybe sand viper wing or plazma edge.
The car isn't finished yet under the shell, but should be soon , I'll be putting a thread with all the details then.sofar it has parts of 4 different brands: less than usual no my builds

Re: cool alternative to the YZ-10 shell
yeah, tamiya is on a strike with its naming: badre is pronounced 'balder', or more bald than baldbadhoopty wrote:Mr. ED wrote:Tamiya baldre ; same chassis as the durga

Re: cool alternative to the YZ-10 shell
Did you not like the Durga body? I only ask as it appears not to have the additional motor bulge. Do you think they would fit on standard chassied Works 91?

Re: cool alternative to the YZ-10 shell
Nah, don't like the Durga. On the pics at tamiya
http://www.tamiya.com/japan/news/news0711/pimg.htm
it looks like you're right.
But I'm using a stick pack and the bulge is perfect to get the accu wires out. without the bulge they'd pushh the body off-center.

Dark Dog: update of 24 july 2008
Here's a couple pics of what's hiding under the shell.
Anyone want to take a guess on the origin of the non YR-4 parts?
