Smile They're HEeeeEEeere!

I went down to the local hobby shop (well an hour by car) to pick up a brushless system and was lamenting about how I was waiting for a BJ4.

We talked about the yoke and how I said I woild love one of those when they came out. He said they got a small handful in and had one left.:flower:

U.S. price $434.00 (+state tax).

Looks nice, will start it in a few days since i just aterted my Tamiya Impact late last evening.

If Jimmy wants I can email him better pics of specific shots.

Thanks ,

The Rough Rider is my one truly mint Tamiya from that period. I can't wait to see your review of the yoke and especially the build tips part!

When will it be done?

I sold my gorgeous rough rider I guess part of the money went into the yokomo.. sigh... but I had no where to put it on display.. I have the parts to make a virtually new one so it shouldnt be too bad I guess.

Thou shalt go forth and build thee a Rough Rider!

And yes, the Yokomo was a pretty penny. I hope it is worth it!

Ultimate Hobbies in California. www.ultimatehobbies.com (I think). Their online site is kinda mediocre. I suggest you just call them. But call them during the week, too crazy usually during the weekend so I think you may be put on hold forever.

If they do post prices, they are usually actually cheaper in the store then what they post online - so again give ema call /.
