Re: 3d printing, there's a huge difference between FDM (your typical filament based printers) and SLS. SLS produces parts much closer to the strength, tolerances and quality of injection molding. That some of these parts are SLS printed should not be a concern at all.
This is what I’m talking about . A car made to actually race and last on track. Race tested. Best car you have had yet and the most interesting video with the creator . Bodyshell is the cherry on the cake. I would rather have this and actually leave the house to use it and meet People than have 10 toys on the shelf. What a conversation starter.
Absolutely stunning work! The Trickbits kit does the original one justice and honor. I think your original YZ-10 has an upgraded steering configuration. I recall the original links would mount directly between the steering blocks and bellcranks, and there was a piece of piano wire with bends in between the bellcranks to keep them lined up. According to Team Associated, the purpose of Green Slime is to protect the O-rings from coming into contact with shock oil because silicone causes the rubber to swell. It’s not to prevent leaks but to prevent the shock shafts from binding after some time. When building shocks, I have found it to be rather handy to drop the piston in its place and slide the seals and spacers on the shaft first, then slide them into the bottom of the shock body as one package. This allows you to see that everything is there in the correct order and prevents you from poking out the last bits with the shock shaft.
That Trickbits YZ-10R is a gorgeous bit of kit, but I'm guessing it's a tad on the pricey side, and way out of the range of us mere mortals. But why did they not make a 'proper' servo mount? Seems a bit odd. Great video anyway, looking forward to seeing it running|!!
They could of made aluminium servo mounts and not that you have to put double sided tape.... under that servo mount brace or whatever you call it and the bottom chassis.... or just make it yourself Gavin from another kit and fix them in the bottom chassis....
Sorry that is not possible on the YZ10 chassis layout. The servos lugs must be removed as the front only has around 2mm clearance on the servo body. Not my design, all Yokomos work. Once the tape cures, the servo is fixed absolutely solid. Alby
I still think is possible or that it can be made ..... With modern technology and machining, saying it can't be done, is not acceptable, that's not professionalisme. Another layout , another position of the servo maybee but saying it can't be done 🤔🤔 for a car that costs so damn much not having a real servo mount ?? Common, you can do better trickbits
Team Suzuki hex’s have been used for years, it’s very like 1/8th buggy fitment. You have to make sure the left hand threads are on the correct side of the car.
Wow! That’s even better than what I expected from them. Great video mate and looking forward to seeing you cut some laps. Any chance of you doing comparison laps with the original Yokomo?
Gavin, you are using way too much Green Slime. All you need to do is put some on the inside of the silicone o-rings. Also if your machining is good you shouldn’t need to lube your shock adjustment collar threads
Yep I agree on the green slime, a bit OTT. That said it’s great stuff and I’ve never had a leak issue since using the stuff. The collar has the rubber gasket inside so that adds to the friction and I’ve found when adjusting the collar it can sometimes be stiff enough that it turns the shock housing and undoes the shock cap instead. A little lubricant on the shock body thread makes adjustment much easier and stops that from happening. Usually at the track when you are making quick adjustments. As long as you wipe down the excess I don’t find dirt and fibre from the carpet is attracted to the threads. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching

I put a bit of grease on every single screw I put into new plastic. Can't be too safe or easy!
Amazing car. The center lock wheel adapters are like the Team Suzuki TS-10, quite expensive today...
Man this is such an amazing rc car!!
What a stunning buggy and nice to see it goes together well and great video as always ..Looking forward to seeing it on the track .
Thanks 👍
Another excellent vid that buggy is so good looking. Holding my breath on the Porsche draw picked up 100 tickets fingers crossed.
Good luck. You could end up with your name on the Grand Tour van for that many!
UNREAL! Cheers from this Aussie in China!
Awsome kits, these things are amazing to watch on track, hopefully you’ll be able to get it on an offroad track 👍
What and get it all dirty! ;)
@@RCKickschannel 😂 thats half the fun, race clean, race clean and repeat 😁

That's a stunning kit 😮
The rarest Tamiya buggy I have ever seen is the 4wd samurai, do you know it?
Stunning car ❤
Topper of a car great vid as always 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey, what do I know?
@@MrAlbysmithhow many new KO servo cases did i buy back in the day when i ran yokomo..lol
There’s a lot of quality 3D printed stuff in there! Probably not as strong as injection moulded but no initial mould costs.
The engineering on this car is incredibly impressive and it's no surprise after seeing the interview with Alby. It really is a work of art!
That is a cool car but the only thing i question is the wierd hexes.

@@markbruton-young9228 never seen that type of hexes before so thats why i think its wierd and looks like it would be hard to find rims for the car.
Loving wife at 13:28 🙂
well spotted :)
Nice car that, what setup did you go for in the end. Roll bars and oils etc? Camber Castor Kick up etc?
Next video when it goes testing
Wow! That’s even better than what I expected from them. Great video mate and looking forward to seeing you cut some laps.
Any chance of you doing comparison laps with the original Yokomo?
The vintage one isn’t mine and running that would result in an extremely expensive, if not impossible to find broken replacement parts issue.
@@RCKickschannel yeah I thought as much. Just my wishful thinking taking over my common sense again.

@@RCKickschannel I forgot about the oring on the retainers. That’s probably a good idea. I’ve had the oring break on my Associated/Element shocks
@@RCKickschannelgaskets are made from paper and o rings are made from rubber.
why didnt you use the bearings that came with that very expensive kit?
I upgraded them to ceramic bearings for racing. Less practical and robust as the kit set but less friction.
