My 2nd 870C

Post by 59burst »

I gave my first one to my friend around 10 years ago. 'cause I lost my interest in 870C after I got a MX-4.
and, it was annoying to making new shock struts that were really weak. maybe my bad habit on the jumps. :roll:
I got another one yesterday. it came with YR-4M's upper deck and 25 to 30 pairs of wheels/tires.
the seller said he had unpainted original body also. but, I noticed that was mrlexan's work when I got it. anyway I got unpainted wing, NIB 870C decals, clean futaba 9450 servo, and the original shocks.
and, I found the old shock wrench and some parts from my first 870C kit in my tool box :mrgreen:

Which country did it come from?
I think the upperplate of an YR-4M would be too short for an 870C, maybe this was home-made? Or using standard parts but the topshock moved under the plate inspired by the YR-4M...anyway, looks pretty well done.

maybe not from YR-4M. but, I'm pretty shure it's from YR-4 series. there are 2 extra screw holes for this mod.
I don't think the upperplate is a hombrew part.
and, I got the car from around here
