Yokomo Dogfighter YZ-834B build project
This was the one that got away when i was a kid ,far more so than the RC10 the car i always wanted but never had was the original Yokomo Dogfighter YZ-834B ,mono shock both ends .I had a look for a fixer upper but they all attract silly money these days so I'm going to build from spare parts and what i can't find I'll make myself ,I have a lath and mill so I have the tools .
So far I have winging their way to me .
Chassis plate
Rear suspension mounts
Front diff housing/suspension mount (I know ,no front diff ,just trying to describe the part)
Front upper and lower suspension arms
Body
Wing
I'll probabbly make the roll hoop as I found the dimensions and the only one for sale is a rip off price.
So I'm short of transmition parts but I've found a supplier of chain and pulleys and intend to replicate the gearbox using modern gears for modern buggies and mill out a gearbox from Acetal .
I'll post piuctures as things progress ,i'm grinning already so stay tuned folks.
