    IMO, this car and the Losi XX4 were the loveliest 4WD cars to drive. The YZ10 however, gets the Numero Uno spot by being a cinch to work on. The XX4 was a nightmare! Love your channel.

    I had the chance to get one of these NIB as well as a built Bulldog for a very good price but I couldn’t afford it at the time.
    Always bugged me.
    Great video

    • @rcicons4915
      @rcicons4915  Před rokem

      Yes,
      They are pricey. It will be nice if the rumors of a rere are indeed true. That way everyone will be able to afford one.

    Keith in a older video you mentioned this car is difficult and expensive to collect for because sellers were producing knock offs. This got me looking at the yr4 touring car(cheaper) and trying to see whats involved is converting that into a yz10. That got me thinking what exact parts are being koed? Maybe an idea for a short video to help collectors watch out for fake parts? Your expierince and knowledge would help us noob collectors a lot. Thanks bless.

    Yokomo is fascinating to me these days! I must admit its more the older more early mid 80s buggies that pull me in!
    The Dog Fighter YZ-834B l remember seeing one in the 80s when our club visited another club it was so alien looking and wow that thing was fast on grass! The other Yokomo l only recently found out about to my shame is the Wonder Dog Fighter and they did a SE version! I don't remember anything about this version. So much l don't know about other manufacturers in this hobby!
    Keith l think a Dog Fighter special video in the near future is called for buddy!
    Lovely pair of 870c Keith such quality and awesome!
    Cheers James.

    Very cool and it is a great looking kit and I agree, once it is all painted up it will really come alive! I do kind of like the clear shell on it but painted it will look even better! Take care bud and I will be looking forward to what you have up next!!
