RichieRich 685 Posted December 13, 2013 Anyone want to translate? This looks like a preproduction one-off. Though, I'd definitely buy one if this is really happening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted December 13, 2013 This was originally mentioned in July, not heard much at all since http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70038&page=14#entry500245 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheriff 36 Posted December 13, 2013 Its hard to believe the 870c was only 4 years after this model, the design was so advanced compared to that awkward looking thing. I'd probably buy one though if it was re released :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lin6499 237 Posted December 14, 2013 Anyone want to translate? This looks like a preproduction one-off. Though, I'd definitely buy one if this is really happening. I'm a Taiwanese who speaks poor English and Japanese, but I'll try to do my best to translate some information. First, the re-re version will use more aluminium parts instead of plastic ones, such as suspension arms. Second, gears and oil dampers will be modern technology. The last, there will be two re-re versions availble and the difference is color. One of them is black with yellow just like the original one, and the other is siiver. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WillyChang 1814 Posted April 23, 2014 yeah Yok showed a 834 prototype last yr, had a mixture of vintage and new 3D printed parts was published in a jap magazine but haven't heard anything since Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grastens 2795 Posted April 23, 2014 Do you suppose that perhaps they saw the re-releases of Kyosho and Associated, and thought the Dogfighter was too outdated? It would be a nice thought if it meant a more advanced vintage model was to be produced instead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anytimebaby 5 Posted July 7, 2023 Wow so this must hold the record for the longest amount of time a re-re is rumoured to be released and then actually becomes reality 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wandy 1527 Posted July 7, 2023 Holy Moly....the YZ-870C is coming back? That is sensational news. How come there isn't a thread on here about it? Does nobody get excited about re-releases anymore? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twinfan 1252 Posted July 7, 2023 I was, but not racing which is where I guess most people would know it from. (I've now looked it up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamiya3speed 463 Posted July 7, 2023 I thought of starting one but remembering this false alarm years ago I wasn’t willing to get my/anybody else’s hopes up until there was something more official. Having said that, I am super excited to know if this is true as I will start hunting for an opportunity to preorder. Always drooled over these old Yokomo 4 wheelers way back when. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeling 1649 Posted July 7, 2023 The moment I heard this on social media I asked my National dealer to check with Factory. The reply to me was "is under planning now". Coincidentally in May (not knowing of this from 2013), I did ask my dealer to go beg with Factory to do some re re. Dealer asked me which model ? I said anything pre 2K and world champion sure make money. So, I would like to think that is some very very small way I helped nudge Yokomo on on this subject matter 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your comment was about how long between rumour and fact? The original post was about the 834, nothing to do with the 870, but whatever mate! and yes, I’m excited by the potential of this release 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
