Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
Wow Anthony, your car looks great! I love the green wheels the best. They seem to go very well with the gorgeous paint! And your running that?
Jay, I got the green wheel sets with some orange and light blue ones from a former Canadian Yokomo dealer but I don't think they are Yokomo brand. They came in a plain but sealed bag of 2 rear and 2 fronts! If I have an extra set, do I sense a trade for some 870c wings????
Anthony, how much did he charge you to do that body?
I'm working on my Yok's now. Getting my queens done first and then I will attack the aluminium runner and get it going! I ordered wheel bearings from Boca, should be in, in about a week!

Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
He's got some special spacers coming from Jake via me to make those pink wheels fit just fine Looks great you damn bluenoser- I can't believe I sold my 870c runner Your TCS, rear shocks and spacers are all out today-xxxmain wrote:Both wheels look amazing!!!!... as the entire build does. But, you need to rock the green rims as the pink ones are the narrow offset I believe and it makes to car look too narrow.
Great YZ10!!

Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
Got my front shocks on. Currently setting with a #2 piston, green shocks, 30wt oil and one old school retainer washer I got to remember to get some o-rings for the caps.
It feels soft, so I might increase the weight in the oil. It will be some time before getting it to the track, but I will figure it out then.

Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
I'm going green inside too
I love the fact that you can see the green motor from the back. Once it's opened up there's a green servo and more green on the esc...gonna have to call this 870c a Prius soon
Once I get the batteries in place and loose the factory battery post with replacing them with velcro straps I can place the receiver and organize those wires. And, get a matching servo horn too.

Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
I can understand why you didn't cut the ears on the servo!

Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
I know, just couldn't bring myself to do it. I figured once we get those battery straps I can find more room for the receiver. I got the email back from Puretech and they said they shipped the straps out on Aug. 29th and I confirmed that I do have the correct mailing address. The old effer father in law needs to put on his reading glasses and take a better look at his mail I may have to got down to VA and get them myself.slotcarrod wrote:I can understand why you didn't cut the ears on the servo!

Thanks Rod...for everything! I like the green the best, but I will run the pink wheels too.slotcarrod wrote:Wow Anthony, your car looks great! I love the green wheels the best. They seem to go very well with the gorgeous paint! And your running that?

I'm working on my Yok's now. Getting my queens done first and then I will attack the aluminium runner and get it going! I ordered wheel bearings from Boca, should be in, in about a week!
I paid $45 for the paint job, but bought the body and wings off of ebay and sent them directly to him. Then I paid for shipping to my place, so all in it cost about $90 CND.
It will be a blast to run a couple of the runners together. I wonder if I will be better at driving a 4wd than I am with a 2wd

Re: Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!
I would love to meet up, but when I told my wife I wanted to meet up with you on our last visit to which she said you were going to likely rape and kill me since I only met you on the internetCharlie don't surf wrote:Make sure you come another 2 hours south!!!
I'll see what I can convince her of this next time
