Default Yokomo YZ10

Guy, here is a sneak peak of what will be rebuilt over the coming ....

Might take me a while but thought I would post some pics up now of what it looked like back around 2012 when I purchased it.














I'm not fused with restoring this to prestine condition, it will be a simple case of strip, clean, rebuild. If there are any majorly worn or broken bits they will be replaced. I also have the instruction manual and box.

My Tomy Intruder is my main project, this can fill in the gaps while I am awaiting parts etc.

The YZ10 is currently in bits so any tips on cleaning and what to use greatly appreciated.

inspite of the dirt, seems to be in good condition or at least not beated up.
Congratulations, looking forward to seeing another yz10.

Dont believe the hype about the kit shocks,i used them with the same springs on grass tracks and worked perfectly, so hope youjust clean them up. Looking forward to seeing it done.

That's right, those shocks are a near copy of kyoshos gold shocks and a better quality than the ones yokomo put on the mx4.

Started cleaning today, other half is out tomorrow night so might get some more cleaning done then.

I'm just cleaning it and so far the parts are coming up OK. Took ages to get the servo tape of the chassis. Front suspension cleaned up nice. Will work on the rear tomorrow.

I'm glad I saved all my daughters tooth brushes now

Guys, how often do those wheels come up? I rarely see these ones come up for sale.

Also whats the best way to get the wing clean? I think it might have some sort of sun bleaching going on. Will try and get some pics up tomorrow.

Are the repro shells for these any good?

If you mean the white webbed wheels, they do come up occassionaly, but you have to be patient. Daniel (username durango on here and vale on rc10talk) currently has some for sale.

I've also used the penguin shell & under tray with no issues and have just ordered another set for my LWB '94.
