YOKOMO YZ-834B DOGFIGHTER
There has been a bit of talk about Yokomo re-releasing the 834b of late. So I thought I may as well post my one up, as some members might find it interesting. It is as bought and I currently have no intention of restoring it. I'm no expert on any Yokomos, but anyone can see that Yokomo designed one very cool and unique buggy.

This is a very unique buggy mate!
I remember seeing these many years ago as a young lad and this buggy was so alien to me back then compared to our Tamiya's! Back in the day my old club had day trips to other clubs! We just about all had Tamiya cars but this club we went to visit had these Dogfighters!! It was a very long time ago but I remember these Dogfighters looking so aggressive on track and fast! but
my memory fails me about how good these performed in those races!
I think we did ok but not 100% sure I did ok though!!l
Too scared of the DOGFIGHTERS!!!!
Leave your Dogfighter like this MP! just like it is! Pure Vintage MAGIC!
maybe paint all the wheels black matt?
but great like it is!
looks Awesome!

Wow, didn't this win the worlds in 1986? This is a seriously cool car.

Thanks guys. Hi Pintopower ,I know it was a top race car, but honestly it's well out of my area of knowledge. There is a decal on the side of the chassis cover that says ' 85-87 ' world champions.

Re-re: I think so too!

Sweet! Yes I'd leave it as is too, its got that days-gone-by look that you only get with cars from err well those days gone by.

Max Power: I have an old RC car action where they did this whole spread on this history of RC cars. There was one page where they showed Cliff Lett's RC10 and this car, driven by Masami Hirosaka, I think. I need to scan a bunch of those old articles.

Thanks SHY69 and Dirt-540. Hi again Pintopower, it would be great if you could post up those articles, they would be a good read!
