That looks really sweet, good job!

Guys, I tried to dye the rims black but they turned out dark blue... except the ARP rims, they are black now

How could I save the Keil rims, get them black? Should I try the US stuff, the Rit dye powder??

How long did you soak them in the dye?

30 minutes? Maybe longer? I didn't use RIT because it is not available here... I've been reading around in german forums and 30-40 minutes for this stuff seems to normal ^^

Might want to go a lot longer without much heat in order to get the results you want with these Keil wheels.

I will try... maybe I will order rit powder lol

But I have to admit that I'm very happy with the dish wheels looks good in my opinion... I will keep an eye on black ribbed wheels.

I wanted the Keil wheels because it's something different

I really like the Keil wheels too. I also saw the black ones available in Germany a while back but you could never seem to find either matching front or any fronts for that matter. Good luck on dyeing them black I think they will look killer.

I have front and rear lying here. The front are original black and the rear ones were white. I have another set rear wheels which I could try to dye again but firts I will try to save the other ones I got probably the last black ones which you saw on ebay germany

Great transformation into a really nice yz10.

Great transformation into a really nice yz10.

Thank you




Now I think it's done...body is painted and this afternoon I took my time to put some nice decals on it. Body, undertray and decals are repro but very nice.

As you can see I also replaced the shocks. It's now equipped with RC10 team shocks.

I'm not sure if I'm will install some nice period correct electronics...we'll se

Beautiful car. Especially the paint job. Thanks for posting such big close pictures. They help clarify assembly of my own 94. I had no idea of that rear turnbuckle brace. Not sure if my cars came with it,, but as usual working from pics and memory...

Wondering about rear camber plate as well. Looks like this car does not have it? Is the rear camber plate specific to a wcs model? Ive got a bunch of questions but will continue to ask in my own thread. Wishing bodies werent so spendy. I would like a nice Masami replica on my shelf.

Thanks Yes the WCS has that rear camber plate, not the 94. But you could upgrade your 94 with that plate. It's also different on the Pavidis, it's also an alternative and easy to upgrade. A lit of people do tgat on their 94 racers. What rear turnbuckle brace are you talking about?

[rccars4sal]

The one on top that goes from top deck to rear diff housing. I just this morning made one from some clean ball ends, and it was a slight PITA to get on and adjusted with the car fully assembled. Obviously a turn buckle would suit this position best if its meant for adjustment. Mine just got a kyosho threaded rod/grub screw.

Okay last pix for this build!

I managed to find the original black, webbed wheels. And I got a package from Japan, with two signed wheels. Guess by whom...

I'm more than happy with the final result. I love it!
