Just got this in the mail yesterday from a guy on RCtech. I paid $100 + $15 shipping. I think I got a good deal.... Right?

I already have a much nicer 870c and new YZ10, that I will make into queens one day :roll:, but I always want to have a runner of each car and a queen! I ran a stock 870c back in the day and have very fond memories I want to re-live! :mrgreen:

Hmmmm! I thought I uploaded the 2 pictures, but for some reason they didn't take!

So here are the original pictures the seller sent me!

That looks like a screamin' deal. Lots of good parts there to keep a runner going.

O.k... I'm not very in touch with what all I have (not very Yokomo savvy)!

Whats the top deck on the built up car?

Whats the aluminium arms and the c hubs with bearings?

Brands, that is?

Aluminum hubs, likely Delta products. Top deck looks like a Jammin piece.

Nice score!

Wish i could help. My one brush with getting a Yok turned into a fiasco (guy never shipped it) - see my avatar. :(

More than likely they are Dialed Racing parts. They had all sorts of aftermarket aluminum parts for that series of cars- imported from Japan. -Jeff

Thanks for the help, info and offers guys! I look forward to building this one. I will even try to build 2 will all the extra parts, as I do have another partial one in the garage. I'm sure I can build two nice ones with these plus the one in the garage!

The only problem is time! :roll: And other projects that I desperately need to finish! Both my RC10T's, RC4WD Defender/Galande and much much more! :roll: Winter is coming and my sons MX season is also coming to an end! I know this sounds strange but, I'm looking forward to a long cold winter just to get some of these projects done! :lol:

One question. Is there any way to build the stock Yokomo shocks so they work well? Or just forget them and put AE team shocks on?

O.k. that's 2 questions! :oops: :mrgreen:

Vintage AE just picked up these yesterday from my house and will be building 2, or I hope 3 runners with all the parts. :mrgreen:

For his time and effort, he gets to keep the second best one! :lol:
