Thank you! 😊 Slo mo really lets you see how well (or not) the suspension is working and looks so cool. 😁 Although, this video wasn't one of my best efforts to be sure. It was 32ºC, very humid and my knee was playing up making running difficult! I was pushed for time too, but as the 834b is currently a hot topic I wanted to get a follow up video published as quickly as possible.
Awsome video - liked it a lot👍 My father raced the YZ-834B back in the days (1985-1987) with great success 🙂 Looking forward to a following up on this video 😀 Cheers from Denmark 🙂
It looked great out there! It does seem to ride very low but it did not seem to affect it at all. Wonderful up close and slow motion shots David! I loved watching the rear end and the suspension working on it!
I've got to say, before it arrived I wasn't too keen on the looks. But it is kinda growing on me. Certainly something a little different to the usual buggy design. The wide body gives is a very tough, almost tank like appearance.
Loving all your videos David !! But especially enjoy these slow motion running videos that really show what they meant for and though I enjoy hearing the sound of the motor running the music choices are brilliant. 👍🏻
Cheers! Running videos are so much fun to make, especially the slow motion stuff as it really shows the suspension doing its thing. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. ☺️
Thank you! I enjoy shooting at parks, but despite living in the countryside it can prove difficult. 😞 Most parks ban any form of RC. The ones that do allow RC are often crowded or they don't cut the grass regularly making running impossible. The park featured in this video is ideal, but there are usually large groups of old folks playing ground golf. Indeed, I had to wait about an hour for them to finish playing in order to shoot much of this video! And finally, chasing around after an RC in 35ºC + heat and high humidity can be pretty tiring! 😅 But as autumn seems to finally be making an appearance, I hope to get out to the park and film/run some more. 👍
@@KaiCityRC Thank you for making those wonderful videos. It is really not easy but you had made it. Thank you so much for your great effort. Looking forward to see more in autumn time😃.
Thank you! 😊 Running videos are the ones I enjoy filming the most and the only videos of mine that I personally watch. Sadly, they rarely get a significant number of views...well not compared to any kind of "review" video. But that's OK. I'm not in this for the views, subs or anything. Just doing it because I love RC and enjoy film making. And if someone finds them useful or they bring a smile to their face, then that's a bonus. 😊
Hi appreciate what you are doing on this channel, currently I want to have either 834B or 870C and kinda indecisive. Can you suggest which one to pick? Mostly will bash on beach, sand / gravel and might enter vintage club race once in a while the race regulation stated that all machine should run tamiya sports tuned, torque tuned or stock silver can.
Thank you for watching and commenting. 😊 The 870c is by far the better buy in terms of value for money, performance and ease of maintenance. It's the newer machine and in a race should do much better than the 834b. The belt drivetrain is very efficient and will make good use of the limited power from slower/weaker motors. The only real negative I can see, would be the completely exposed belts and diffs. There is the potential for sand and gravel to cause problems for the belts/pulleys, despite the 870c having an under tray. In that regard, I feel the sealed rear gear box / chain drive of the 834b would likely be more resilient to running in those types of environments. Hope that helps!
Hi thank you for your answer, I supposed for my needs it will be wiser (in terms of maintenance) if i take 834B. How’s the 834B driving impression? I would like to know your thoughts
@@hobbyclubofficial Considering its design dates back to 1983 and was one of the first 4WD buggies available, I was pleasantly surprised how well it did outdoors. The suspension in particular handles rougher ground much better than you would thing it would. Sure, it isn't up to modern day standards, but it is far, far superior to buggies like the Frog, Sand Scorcher and Grasshopper. It's been a some years since I ran my Hotshot, but if memory serves its performance is on a par with the 834B. You mentioned entering a vintage class race. How well the 834B would do in such a race will depend largely on two factors - dirt or carpet. And what year is the cutoff. The 834B would struggle to keep up with machines post 1985, especially on high grip carpet.
Absolutely! I like the clean look this buggy has, and despite the two mono shocks it does pretty well on the rough stuff and not too bad on carpet either. 😁
Fantastic David! Almost makes me want one 😂. I really dig your color scheme. Maybe some black wheels would set it off even better. Cheers man, thanks for all the great vids
Thank you! At the moment there are no other wheel options (or spares) on the market. I would have preferred black wheels and was tempted to try and dye the kit ones. But I decided to play it safe and keep them the stock color. It turned out better than I thought it would. 😁
I would like get one but they are very expensive. Not sure if it is worth it. I also think I would get the Team Associated YZ-10 car because I think shocks might work better. Thoughts?
You do this style of video so well. I liked seeing the rear sway bar doing it's thing as it's driving along, very cool.

Thanks! 😊 I love the capturing the suspension working over the rough ground. It really gives you an idea of how it's working to keep the car stable.
かっこいいやん！バックに流れてる曲もいいですね。俺も初代ドッグファイター YZ-834B復刻モデルを買ったばかりなので、ボディの塗装なんかは勉強になった！
Not the prettiest car, but that's how they looked back in the day! Great video, especially highlighting the rear mechanichs!
I've got to say, before it arrived I wasn't too keen on the looks. But it is kinda growing on me. Certainly something a little different to the usual buggy design. The wide body gives is a very tough, almost tank like appearance.
I like the body with the rear panel cut out!
Thank you! I cut the rear panel out to make it easier to install and remove the body. 👍
@@KaiCityRC Exactly! (I saw your previous video on the Dog Fighter) 😊

Nice. You are backed for the the park run. Please film more for park ride of your RC.

It's a great looking adventure with a stunning car! 👏 🙏👏 🙏👏
Thank you!
The only Yokomo world champion car with a sealed transmission.
Awesome content as always David. Thank you my friend.
Thanks for watching! 😊
私も今作ってます！走行させるのが楽しみです！
After this video I may just have to Shell out for the car now it's a really cool looking buggy
I think so too. It has a really cool look to it. If RC buggies were dog breeds, the Dog Fighter is most definitely a Bulldog. 😁
Is that Mount Fuji in the background at 3.33? What an awesome location to film!
Well spotted! 👍
Nice video. You did not spare it 😮 Well done 👍🤝
Thanks 👍

GREEEEEEEN! 😁
Seems like the less shocks are visible the better the car looks. Especially true for front shocks. Of course performance suffers. Trade offs.
Absolutely! I like the clean look this buggy has, and despite the two mono shocks it does pretty well on the rough stuff and not too bad on carpet either. 😁
Great vid David looks awesome love the music 😊😊 ❤ Pete
Thank you! I didn't think the slo mo would go with the fast tempo of the song, but in a weird kinda of way it seems to work. 😁

I bought one too and wait for the Wonder Dog.
If sales of the 870c and 834b continue to do well, I'm sure we can expect to see further re-releases from them...perhaps as early as next year.
cool！from japan
ありがとう 😊
That needs upright shocks front and rear - then maybe it will look good and handle better.
I would like get one but they are very expensive. Not sure if it is worth it. I also think I would get the Team Associated YZ-10 car because I think shocks might work better. Thoughts?
They are undeniably expensive, especially considering they are mostly plastic. The 870c (or the YZ-10) is the better buy in terms of value for money.
@@KaiCityRC Do you think you might get one of those cars too?
The YZ-10 exposes the gears.
PS-17 is maybe the best colour ever
I'll admit this is only the second time I've used this color. It's grown on me. Though it does tend to blend in with the grass somewhat. 😅
"How good?" We may never know.
