YZ-10 '94

[tdi250]

Heloo peeps,

I've got a YZ-10 '94 as shown in this link http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4515

My question is, if I was thinking about selling it how much should i consider asking for it? Obviously it depends on the condition but it's in decemt enough condition for a raced car thats 18 years, not been raced since '96 though

A suggestion on a minimum or a range would help me at least.

Thanks
Wes

I miss my old yz10.

Depends obviously on the condition, but in my (limited) experience they are rare but sturdy cars.

Current ebay end-of-auction listings have seen them go between £200-300. Some of these auctions started at £0.01 and no reserve.

The Works editions (91,92,93 and 95) seem to go for more. If yours has various hop-ups (some of which are rare), then it may even go further.

I think the yz10 series are awesome and look so aggressive!

Don't sell yours...though some actual pics would be nice:thumbsup:

[tdi250]

Hey Naushad,

It is a great car, I would race it but i don't think the belts etc would survive the lipo/brushless power thats now required for competitive racing.

If I sell it I would then have a nice chunk of cash to put towards a modern 4wd car, I only race 2wd right now and would like to do both.

It needs a good clean up but I will put some pics up of it in the state it's in and then some more when it's been cleaned up and sorted!

Ace cars, could still cut it today in my opinion

[tdi250]

Arran,

Hello Mate.

Do you reckon the belts would survive lipo/brush less power?

Wes

[wezzer]

i ran mine at club on a 6.5 and reedy saddles ( polished boards) :-) it was ace :-)

we still have the car out of this advert :-)

[RudeTony]

I've got NEW bodyshells if anyone needs them

[ralphee]

Keep it and run it i say, biggest regret i had was selling my old 94. I now have another, and its beautiful, itll go to the grave with me lol.
Parts arent that hard to find, patience is key, ive managed to build up quite a spares back up in only a few months of searching.

Weezer you've got to post some pics of the car in the ad!!!! (thats if you havent already?)

[tdi250]

Awesome! decision made then guys!

I will keep it and get it running! On question......if i'm running saddle lipos do i need some type of bracket to stop the lipo's sliding about on top of the carbon chassis?

Wes

[Naushad]

I think it will go with lipo and brushless. Try some small weights to enclose the saddles or servo tape wrapped around through the slots. I've yet to try this.

Post some pics when you can!

You could bag some LRP Lipos that have the bumps on the lower casing?

lee

[Naushad]

That's a good idea Lee! But will lipo height be and issue? I think the LRPs are pretty slim anyhow but I have measured up.

[arransmith27]

glue some lipo locators to the bottom of your lipos (only a couple of quid from demon)

you can raise the height of the battery retainer posts with some spacers (2 - 3 mm should do the trick)

Are you gonna run it at dudley? will be great to see it in action :thumbsup:

[tdi250]

Arran,

Will Run It At Dudley Mate Yes.

Thanks For The info

[terry.sc]

It is a great car, I would race it but i don't think the belts etc would survive the lipo/brushless power thats now required for competitive racing.
if they are the normal 3mm pitch belts, they are the same spec as the belts in modern buggies and touring cars. As they are just standard industrial drive belts, you can even find replacements on ebay. Usually the problem is the layshaft pulleys wearing out.

[tdi250]

I've taken some pics and tried to attached them on here but it says i've got a security token missing?

[tdi250]

Hopefully this works!

[wezzer]

Weezer you've got to post some pics of the car in the ad!!!! (thats if you havent already?)

will see what i can sort :-)
if i remember its looking a little jaded now :-s few bits missing etc but will dig something out ;-)

[ralphee]

Hopefully this works!

She dont look half bad, bit of spit, a good rebuild, yeah. Looks to have Pavidis arms, at least, three of them, and the rear camber link.

lee

[Naushad]

Yeah I agree with lee, you do have the lightened arms.

You don't seem to have a motor mount cap, but that doesn't matter!

You also have the tcs slipper, so running brushless should not be a big issue.

You also seem to have the yokomo/associated shocks that came with the Pavidis.

I think one of the posts that hold the top deck is missing. There is only one I can see.

I recommend a total strip down a careful rebuild. Remove rust. Replace screws with hexes, lube parts such as bearings (or even replace then). The rims are probably usable assuming there are no cracks! Otherwise, jc racing do great repros.

It's going to take a little work but I'm sure you've got a stormer there! Check out competition rc for a PDF manual.

[ralphee]

Yeah JC wheels are ace ive got a set of them for when i eventually run mine, so i dont scuff the NIP ones i have, there pretty rare lol.

I do, have a TBG shell and undertray i painted a while back if you want it, its not an amazing paint job, my first in a LONG time, but pay me the postage and its yours if you want it, it has got a bit trimmed from the steering tunnel to stop the saver fouling, but still looks the part. It hasnt even been used.

The TBG stuff is tight, but does work, its just a bit small, check my build thread anyhoo, shell is in there if you fancy it.

bests.......lee

[ralphee]

Ere, shell in this pic, should tart your YZ up a bit bud?

oooooh..... Team Suzuki wheel nuts, I recall these being a pricey hop up (25 quid for 4 back in 1996)

Very nice :thumbsup:

[ralphee]

Wes, PM sent buddy, a pleasure.

Arran, yeah, TS hubs, but they are not on my car now as i found some NIP correct Yokomo hubs.
The TS ones are nice, but its nice to have the originals with screws!
Ill get some pics up of mine again soon, just waiting for my shell, and still need to finish up the install.

bests........lee

[ralphee]

Quick update on mine. All this Yoko talk got me fitting the Yokomo wheels and dots to mine today.
Electrics are still a WIP and not decided upon yet.

[Naushad]

How do you fit those wheel dot on the rims?

Are they thin like decals sheets and do they come with a central perforated area to leave the hub free?

They are indeed a decal, pretty thick, very tacky. They come one piece buddy, i just measured out the centre and cut it with a compass cutter.
Chose the orange to go nicely with the Masami shell.

i actually think this may not of been the one in the pics :-s this was the pre pics prototype from what i can gather :-)

[ralphee]

Thats a wicked little bit of history there, nice, although, i never did fancy the MX........i kinda though Yokomo lost the plot back then with its conception, blooming ugly too :lol:.

lee

[CATS]

Cheers for sharing weezer, bit of rc history right there!! what other lovely prototype yoks you got hidding away at cml HQ!!

[wezzer]

:thumbsup: no worries! there is a few little gems around.
i will create a thread once we dig them out and post up on here :)

That would be great - would love to see what vintage gems you have lying around at CML.

I'm presuming the MX4 in your two photos is a promo model rather than the actual car that Masami used to win the Worlds? I know that there was a super rare special edition of this car that came from the factory pre-built - complete with pre-painted bodyshell in Masami's colour scheme - I think this was only available to the domestic Japanese market -but suppose it would be feasible for the UK distributers to get their hands on one??

[GRIFF55]

A pic of varleys old shell would be nice. I loved that back in the day:thumbsup:

[wezzer]

@DerbyDan i believe its a worlds rep kind of thing :eh?: its one that was created along side the one he used at the worlds , like a test car the never actually got used. but it was a little before my time at CML so will get the low down off Jason when i get chance :)

griff, i will sort it mate :) they are under lock and key at the moment and hes away so cant raid the vintage dept :(

[adey]

C'mon wezzer, we will get some crow bars and pop down to your unit. Jason will never know, lol

Either a crow bar, or thermal imaging is your friend lol. Id love to see Jasons old shell too though.

killer job the yz lee. looks awesome!

dually to weezer. love the mx-4. that thing was a tank. what happened to the rear hub?

[wezzer]

i loved the MX4 too :lol: it wasnt a great car for me but still liked it.

[littlevette]

candyman, looks like you're using an mr-4 rear bulkhead set on your mx-4. try cutting off the corner ears off. so that the arms could breathe a little better than what you currently have. try cutting where i marked them.

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8784/mx06a.jpg

[Candyman]

.....then the hinge pins would fall out?

[littlevette]

if it's on display i don't think that wold be a problem. just to 'clean' up that area.

is that the mr-4 rear bulkhead? it looks like the arms are pushed back just a bit from where they would usually would be with the stock mx-4 bulkhead. did you notch or sand down that area of the chassis(according to the instructions), to accommodate the arms? i think that's why your arms are up against the rear portion of that bulkhead like that.

[Candyman]

er...... no, its where it should be, just checked the manual.

Great! Karl Marsden's car! Thanks Wezzer, keep the pics coming of these treasures!

Would love to have the 'Masami' MX-4 to sit alongside my 93WCS Masami Tribute car.... that would be cool :cool:

I've got it nearly ready to run now.

Tried it on the street and its very fast and had so much grip it was awesome, i'd forgotten how good this car is, can't wait to race it.

All i need now is a shell, undertray and wing! Does anyone know where I can get them?

[Naushad]

Wes, looking awesome with the vintage gear.

I would recommend new tyres all around though...

Best of luck!
