Nice video. I raced one of these back in the day and it was so much fun. 17T double on 7cell 1700mah SCE saddle pack. It was insanely fast. I’m waiting to get my new one. I really hope they’re-release the ‘91 Worlds car as well. Where did you order the top brace from?
Old cars were magnesium bulkheads not alloy, and had gaskets between chassis and bulkhead. Also belt tension was adjusted from underneath by pulling whole bulkhead back.
I thought it magnesium 👍 i never had the pleasure of owning a yokomo back in the day, good to hear it was built back then, sounded like they really went to town on its desighn 👍
I had the super dogfighter. Yes, magnesium bulkheads and ball diffs. It had an optional one way roller on the center shaft that worked best for carpet. Belt tension was same as today as I remember.
Looks really good, really need to add one to my collection eventually. I am really going in deep in the vintage/oldschool rc at the moment,espicially Kyosho. And once one goes there one will never go back right😉anyway thank you for sharing and have a great week!
I was thinking about spinning the spur around as I think it should move it a little closer to the motor side and thus line up the pinion a bit better. I haven't tried it yet.
Lovely video chap :) enjoyed that ! Was a really nice build and i thoroughly enjoyed it. Love to know how you get in racing it, mine will be most likely used indoors so I don’t see the shocks posing to much problem travel wise. Will most likely get the top deck as well to cut some flex out. 2.2’s on order as well ;) I’m like you really liking this one
Thank you for this video. The flex is quite significant, probably would work well on bumpy dirty loose 80's track (obviously 😊). Shame you may not run it tomorrow, but health first 🤞Take care 😉
Well done brother I’m sure you’ll win lots of races with this bad boy!!! For me the 870C is all about that body 🤷♂️ don’t know what it is but you just know it’s bad ass 😄
It is a interesting buggy. I enjoyed watching and learning a bit more about it. It is just one that doesn't do anything for me. I think they were just not really available or affordable when I was younger so I never paid them any mind. I hope you have fun with it and it does well for you.
Yeah same here, never had one back in the day, so its a buggy i wanted but wanted a runner. The build was easy apart from the screws, i enjoy the building the most these days 😁
@@lo2713 I am with you with the building part! Here lately I have struggled to want to do any painting at all but I really do love sitting at the bench building them up! I need a painter! LOL!
Great video. Thanks for the tips and reminders. This will be helpful with my build as I'm in the process myself. I heard there was some confusion with the rear metal steering blocks that are also used in the front. I noticed that the rear steering block labeled "R" is on the rear left side of the buggy. So the steering block labeled "R" is on the rear left side and the "L" is on the rear right side? Thanks.
@@lo2713 LOL... yes it is a bit confusing. It doesn't saying anything about flipping it around but on page 9, above the "Note Position" box it says to use "Steering Block R" when building the left side." I wish they would have wrote more clearly "use the Right steering block on the left side and the left steering block on the right." Or, just write, "reverse the steering blocks." Well thanks for getting back to me. I think you are right and I guess I just need some reassurance too.. lol thanks again.
Hi scott, thanks for joining. I really hope they do, and bringing out this was an indicator we may get more. If this does well for yokomo. Then im sure we will.

Yeah i have heard a few rumours the 91 will be coming later this year 🤞 lightning components. You can find them on facebook and on ebay 👍
Never know such exciting times in rc racing 🏁 🏎 looking forward to the race report
Yeah, some great cars dropped these last few months. Was hoping to be out tomo but got a stinking cold 😭
@@lo2713 ya didn't make it then...........we have to wait another week 😏, speedy recovery
@@Ianlfcm3 nope, can bearly get off the sofa lol
Nice build mate
The motor mount with the screws in the way that’s how they were back in the day. I would get long boss pinions also
Im still looking for the ones i have, have a box full but cant find them 😭 will have a better look when this cold has shifted 👍
That looks like a lovely thing to put together 😊
Great work buddy 😇👊🏻
Cheers Glenn, it went together so easy. And i can now see where Tomy got inspiration from for the intruder 😁

Cheers, yeah its a break from kyosho for me, for a few months 😂 got the turbo scorpion to give an overhaul 👍
Great video 👌 looking forward to more
Hopefully have it out soon 🤞

Yeah luckly this motor has a bit extra sticking out, i think long boss pinions will be the best option ? I just need to find all of mine 🤔
Nice one Mate, I'm really looking fwd to seeing the new version run, even more your "end of 2024 season cat vs mid vs DF comparison" lol. cheers.
Thats will be a good idea. At the moment the yokomo is wining due to ease of maintanence. Will hopefully have them out on track soon 🤞

Yeah, its a great buggy so far, gonna see if i can get it out next weekend. Just need to paint the body yet haha

Cheers, yeah. Dont want to pass this cold on. And couldnt concentrate on driving. So gonna be a chilled out day 👍
Great video Richard. Hope to see some running footage.
Fingers crossed next weekend, need to shift this bloody cold 😭
nice deal, no special stickers in my box
I was supprised to get them, seen a few pics floating about. No idea what there about mind 🤔
bright options for paint choices, I'll look for some, you didn't waste any time on the build, I'm so slow, nice work@@lo2713
Well done brother I’m sure you’ll win lots of races with this bad boy!!! For me the 870C is all about that body 🤷♂️ don’t know what it is but you just know it’s bad ass 😄
Haha may not win in my hands 🤔 yeah its a great looker. But for me the works 92 was the best looking one 👌
Servo used to be stuck down in old car and cut lugs of servo case. Many KO servo cases sold. Lol
Yeah i know a few people use these floating servo mounts on there dogfighters. But its good to see they updated that part 👍

Not 100 sure on the rear hubs, its a bit vauge in the instructions. I just looked it over a few times and hopefully got it right 😂

Great video..... Thanks. I raced one of these back inbthe day, so much better than the cats! 😊 what motor rate and speedo rate are you running?
Hobbywing XR10 pro and a 10.5 motor. Just need to get it out on track now, cant wait 👍
That screw at the front be careful as there not much meat to countersink further
Yeah its pretty thin, but hopefully holds 🤞😂
wow you have unboxed many new rere cars lately
I find Yokomo manuals easy to read, imo they are much better than Kyosho
Yeah i was saving up for a YZ10-R but then all these dropped. So went with all the new cars, back to hammering the overtime now 😂
Is that Adrian Prince’s yokomo ? 😊
It sure is, think he may have forgoten about it by now 🤔😂
Great video , do you think they will rerelease the YZ10 ? Many thanks Scott .....
Hi scott, thanks for joining. I really hope they do, and bringing out this was an indicator we may get more. If this does well for yokomo. Then im sure we will.
@@lo2713 Lets hope so , best car i ever raced i loved the YZ10 . Thanks for getting back to me , all the best ......
I think you have built 2 cars in the time I’ve built half a car 😂
😂 yeah, 2 this month. Got the rc10cc to come. Then no more, this month 😂
