Looks great mate. Love old Yoks. This is one of the best I have seen. Great work.

So have you used the original Yokomo pozi screws? with the heads that are made of butter?

Some screws are butter, as they were included in the NIP stuff i bought, but most screws are stainless and real tough, NON are rounded though lol.

Thanks for the comps guys, its been an expensive labor of love since i bought it, and its nice to know i can do a proper job, rather than a dodgy kids attempt at a rebuild LOL.

Looking forward to the new shell arriving now, i may go Masami, not sure now, just a shame these TBG shells are so lame, may sell this body TBH, so if anybody wants a painted YZ10 TBG shell, PM me.

Don't go for a scheme paint job do your own racing colours after all it's yours and a personal item

Ill look into it Si, ive time as the shell has to land from the US yet. Doubt ill use Faskolor again though, blooming 'orrible, think ill go even older skool, and Tamiya PS rattle can the job lol.

lee

:drool:

Wow, amazing work :)

Looks amazing, sorry a little off topic you mentioned you need to put your cells together, where does one find the vintage cells I couldn't find any on eBay

Thanks. Cells, i stumbled across some NIP unassembled 2400's the other day, bought a pack of 30amp Orion Vmax, and the equiv in GM VIS too, for a steal, so just keep searching Ebay, or, if you want to pay a little more, try DMS racing.

lee

I know a source of lots and lots of vintage cells, PM me if you want more info
;)

NIP 1700 SCRC?

lee

maybe some 2000 or 2400, no 1700 though :(

You seriously just p***ed in my chips :p. Id love some SCRC's.

lee

then you can forever call me piddlechips

sorry dude, maybe i should have said retro rather than vintage!
