Retro Iconic Buggy with Modern Capabilities & Performance
Stop Reminiscing and bring the 80s 4WD Off-Road buggy racing back to life with the ultimate off-road machine that enlivened the 1980s off-road scene! It is no exaggeration to say that it became the foundation of modern off-road racing, and it is a legendary platform that boasted overwhelming speed in off-road races to gain so much popularity during that golden era or RC Racing!
Although Yokomo kept the design and shape untouched, in order to utilize current power sources, this reproduced version comes equipped with gear differentials and a slipper clutch, providing a drive train capable of running powerful modern Lipo batteries. In addition, to further modify the platform to accommodate today's power supply, the battery tray was designed to fit big and small capacity models shorty LiPo batteries!
Despite the fact that this vintage race machine comes with the original body, wing, and under cowling to faithfully recreate the original buggy, it has been fully updated for today’s modern power system, while also maintaining much of the original vintage feel! Equipped with aluminum bulkheads, aluminum front and rear knuckles, FRP shock towers, FRP main chassis and hard anodized aluminum shocks, providing much needed durability and boosting performance!

Yokomo Super Dog Fighter 1/10 4WD Off-Road Electric Buggy Kit
I am in a similar boat as the other reviewer, having loved the YZ-10 back in the day. Yokomo fixed all the issue with that model (weak bulkheads and A-Arms) and this thing is outstanding. Easy to build, and well made. Only 2 things are annoying: 1) no parts are available yet, so if you mess up the body, you are stuck and 2)the spring rates are way too high. Hopefully, they will come out with some option-parts.
I can't stress how much fun it was to build this kit! Keep it up Yokomo!

Yokomo knocked this release out of the park. I lusted after the YZ-10 back in the day but could not afford it on my paperboy salary. I could only dream about it while flipping thought the pages of R/C car action magazine. Now 30+ years later I have one and it did not cease to amaze me in it's 1980's glory.

Yokomo Super Dog Fighter 1/10 4WD Off-Road Electric Buggy Kit
I never raced the YZ-10 as a kid. I had a CAT and had previously raced the Yokomo SE before that. The CAT was fast but fragile and hard to work on. Building up this Yokom it’s pretty obvious why the YZ-10 was so dominant. It’s stout like an 1/8 scale buggy, everything is easy to get to for quick set up changes. I’m really looking forward to taking this one to the track.
