I have made a little progress today.

Found suitable fixings for the front shocks so they could attach to the suspension arms.

Fixed up rest of the electrics including a ko propo ps2000 FET servo and sub c saddle pack. I also fixed the eccentric diff housings. The front belt has been set a little tighter than the rear.

I have also temporarily fixed the undertray though the shell is going to be a little difficult as there are no cut lines. Undertray was hastily cut but I will smoothen this out later. The wing is not the original one but a nice alternative I think.

Transmission feels very smooth. I suspect gearing will be similar to the yz10?

Naushad 09-07-2013 10:51 PM

Right! All finished now!

Using the net as reference I managed to cut the body to fit! I used different pictures to get an idea of the cut lines. It wasn't very difficult.

I had the Adonis repro decals so used what I can for the shell. I think the end result is really impressive! However, I have been working on getting some repro intruder decals printed, and I'm just waiting on some samples to determine the quality.

So stay tuned!

Looks great! I have the same wheels/hubs/shafts on mine to save the originals as mine is a runner..

Keep me posted on the decals!

Adam F 10-07-2013 06:03 AM

Have you tinted the screen?

BORMAC 10-07-2013 06:19 AM

The body reminds me of the original Yokomo BMAX4.

Naushad 10-07-2013 06:31 AM

Couldn't agree more...turned out with an aggressive styling,

And the paint style really makes it POP in a vintage way.

Naushad 10-07-2013 08:11 AM

Once I get some repro decals done i will let interested ooplers know.

Naushad 10-07-2013 09:29 AM

Yeah I've done the same too...I'm sure I could use them for a yz10!

Another superb build

optiman 14-07-2013 02:07 PM

Very nice build and love the paint scheme. :thumbsup:

BORMAC 15-07-2013 01:18 AM

Naushad I prey if you get this stunning machine onto a race track that someone has a GoPro HD or a DSLR camera handy to snap some in action video or snaps.
That would make the risk of damage in any way worth it.

Adam F 24-07-2013 10:10 PM

Any joy on the decals? :) desperate to get mine finished now.... even found some spares for it so I can risk racing it a bit....

I was lucky to have one back in the day, Running in the RRCi Standard series i can remember making many A finals with it, Exeter, Worksop and the finals at Oswestry in one year that helped me pick up a deal with AGR motors at the time. Amazing car and wish i kept it. only have the mag pictures from the race meetings. I ran Yok wheel adapters but also made laydown shock towers from FRP. Wish i never sold it.

Naushad 24-07-2013 11:03 PM

Hi, still waiting to get in touch with some technical bods to get the right type of decal sheet. I will update you ASAP!

Naushad 30-07-2013 07:11 PM

Can you dig out those pics so we can have a look?
