Help Identify this Yokomo

[optiman]

Hello,

I remember once going to a local hobby store and seeing this particular Yokomo YZ10. I remember glancing at the pics, holding the box in my hands ....but then the shit hit the fan!!! As I soon realize I could not afford it!!!!


Can anyone tell me which year, and exact model this YZ10 is? I am not a Yokomo expert, but I do know that is not Massami's and is not the earlier YZ-870c, it is something in between.


Thank's

Details I remember;
Parallel saddle pack layout(not at an angle), white plastic parts all around, It did not have a chassis top plate either.

It is the same as YZ-870c, but for the American market, hence the much better Protech body.

Looks like a 89 or 91 dog fighter to me

Thanks guys!

Me want!!!
There's a new one NIB on ebay.... But for $950(I think) is a lot more of what I would spend. Seems that the shit hit the fan yet again!!! Lol

I always wondered what was the official business link between ae and yokomo?

Since Associated did not had any 4wd buggies at the time, becoming Yokomo's distributor and bringing that killer machine with lots of winning tittles wasn't a bad idea at all.
