Yokomo MR-4 Rally project and questions.

[Clutch88 13]

Hello,

 

After a long break from RC, I have spent the last month re-building my dads original Sand Scorcher. I have really enjoyed it, so next i am going to look at a few cars that I raced in the late 90's/early 2000's.

 

I have a Schumacher Cat 2000 EC, a regular 2000 in bits and a 3000. But, first I am going to rebuild a Yokomo MR4 Rally. I have two of them, if I remember correctly 1 has lots of hop-up option parts and was the better car. Plan is basically to rebuild, replace electrics (not too sure with what) and replace the shell. I do have a couple of questions:

 

1. Does anyone have an MR4 Rally manual? Mine is long gone, and I cant seem to find any PDF versions online.

2. I know most 1/10 touring-rally cars take a 190mm or 200mm body. Which is the correct size for the MR4 and how do you measure it? I fancy group B rally shell,  205 t16, 6r4 or a Quattro S1. Maybe even a mk2 escort. Can anyone recommend somewhere I can purchase a shell like that?

 

Thanks guys

Are you in the uk, if so, I just bought an escort cosworth shell from L and L models, they have quite a good range but sell out quite fast. I think most shells they sell are 190mm wide. I measure across the tyres, when its sat at the correct ride height, most electric touring cars were 190mm, my nitro touring car is 200mm across the tyres. As for the manual, I'm not too sure where to get one from, I struggled to find a download for my ta01, so I bought a used one from ebay.

Ah, thanks mate.

 

yes, I am in the UK. L and L seem to have a great selection of shells, but not much in stock. I shall keep an eye out to see if any come in. Were you happy with your escort cossie shell?

Yes I'm happy with the shell, but the wing is a little bit tricky as it has to be trimmed at the mounting points.

I contacted Penguin RC, unfortunately they don't have a copy of the manual.  So, still looking for one.

Hi, Thanks for the offer.

But, I may have sourced one. I am waiting for a guy to get back to me, so hopefully that will work out.

Whilst I am waiting, I am about to start a schumacher cat 2000 ec project, which I have just got a few bits for.

Ah no problem. 

 

Got to say though, branching out to Kyosho, Yokomo and Schumacher projects is probably the most slippery of slippery slopes there is

Yes, I have a cat 2000 ec that is still plastered in mud, I probably last ran it 20 years ago. Plus,I have another standard 2000 thats in bits, so I am hoping to build that one up. And a 3000 that also needs attention!
