Yokomo YR4-M2 touring car
 

I have a yokomo in case you people didnt know.:lol:

I have not drove it yet because it's dirt season right now.
But when the new carpet track opens in reo I'll race it.:thumbsup:

Bought it from Shodog on Tamiya club. Very nice dealer.

The mods I've done to it, removed that white spur with a B2/B3 spur gear...it worked.
I had that spur laying around for ages, but was a direct fit for this carpet car.

I also rebuilt those Japan shocks too, with 60wt in the rear, 35wt in the front.

I had one of these back in the 90`s, they were crap.


Shodog is a top bloke, no competition for yantits though:thumbsup:


Oh and your shock oil setup will be shocking to drive, this car had a lot of flex at the front anyway, i think i ran 100wt sometimes up front:thumbdown:

Nice car you have there. Is it fast ??? try the JRX's spur it will make it go faster;)

I thought the M2 had bigger shocks?

I think they did a later version ian, they also did a JAP version which had better/bigger shocks, these shocks were useless, they were far too small:thumbdown:

Thats an underestimate, they were absolute ********!! :lol:

(sorry thread starter, get the bigger ones ;))

I had an original YR4, that was ace in stock class and modified on carpet!

O yeh, it was the type j, that sucked too :woot:

When was the last time yokomo released a great car :confused:

When the BX came out:thumbsup::D

Is'nt Chris Grainger the current UK snoring car Champ with a Yok?, to beat Mandy Moore, current World Champ the car can't be too bad.

they did release a good tourer yes but that doesn`t count, its boring :lol:

The BX is good in the right hands but i do feel there are faster cars out there, i have never driven one (i would like too) but even neil seems to "struggle" with it.

I think its a matter of driving style with the BX, I'm way faster with mine, then with the B44 I bought to replace it. The B44 is possibly easier to drive, but I just don't get the same lap time out of it.

The BX is really good in the wet and dirt, any other condition and it's a right handful.

It ran fine with the setup I had for carpet....:bored:
Actually I have not ran it yet, but with the upgrades that was included on it
seemed like a steal at 100 bucks.

I doubt I will beat Tc5's with it, but we shall see in the fall.
Summer is dirt season..:thumbsup:

Yeah, it looks like your 100 bucks were stolen :D

How do you know it ran fine if you didn`t run it :confused:


I have never known anyone to post as much crap as you do, even ashley makes more sense :thumbsup:

I have lots of spur gears that will fit including this one.
I put a B2/B3 spur on it for now.

That's what you think, I can drive this to victory lane.
Maybe I will be undefeated at reo's carpet track in the fall months.

Then when Action-hobby starts up time for the 501x.;)

I wonder if the BX parts will fit the 501x....maybe....:/

Victory lane is just a sharpie away :thumbsup:

Maybe not. The 501X is a tamiya, and the other is a Citroen.
