Yokomo Super Dog Fighter (YZ 870c) 4WD RC Buggy Build Review. My thoughts now that I've built it! 👍

Happy New Year to all! Here are my thoughts on the Yokomo Super Dog Fighter now that I've built it. It's a fantastic kit and I'm very impressed. There's no denying it is on the expensive side, especially outside of Japan, but if you're a fan of vintage re-releases, then you should definitely consider picking one up. Since I shot this video I've been able to get out for a shakedown run. All went well except for a minor issue with the rear wheels rubbing against the rod ends on the upper arms. After a few battery packs there were noticeable grooves appearing. Nothing major, and I've added a couple of shims between the upright and wheel hub so it shouldn't happen again. Being belt driven, as you'd expect it is very quiet. And the 23T brushed motor on 2S was surprisingly quick. I think the simple drivetrain, light weight and overall design make it very efficient. It's easy to see why this buggy performed so well back in the day. Should you go out and buy one? Well, you're asking the wrong person as I'm a self confessed vintage re-release RC addict.😅 But in all honesty, it's a wonderful, miniature marvel of engineering and the chance to own (albeit a replica) a piece of RC Racing history. So far reaction has been favorable, with the 870c sold out everywhere. The next available lot will appear in April (in Japan). Given the response I think it is likely we will see more re-releases from Yokomo in the future. On a personal note, I've ended up spending most of my winter holiday indoors sat in front of a computer screen editing. I had planned to take a little YouTube break during the winter holidays, but then the Super Dog Fighter showed up and... Well, what I'm trying to say is I hope you all don't mind if I take my time with the running video. Thank you all for watching. 😊 LINKS: Unboxing video ⬇️    • Yokomo YZ-2 870c Super DogFighter Re-relea...   Original Manual from Yokomo ⬇️ https://teamyokomo.com/downloadfiles/...
