#YZ-870C – YOKOMO YZ-870C SUPER DOG FIGHTER RETRO 4WD OFF-ROAD CAR

Description

The ultimate off-road machine that enlivened the 1980s off-road scene is back!

If you are a long-time RC car user, you may be familiar with the chassis called “Super Dog Fighter”. It is no exaggeration to say that it became the foundation of modern racing off-road cars, and it is a famous car that boasted overwhelming speed in off-road races around the country. He has a great record not only in Japan but also in world-class races, and is known for having fans all over the world.

There have been many requests from passionate fans for a long time, and commercialization has been considered many times, but now the reprint has finally been realized. However, there are no resin part molds left from that time, and the design is based on measurements of existing machines, and the current release date is scheduled for December 2023.

Although new parts have been remade, the settings have been made to recreate the atmosphere of the time as much as possible. In order to be able to drive with current power sources, it will be equipped with a gear differential, slipper clutch, Li-po battery, etc., but it will also have a slot for a Sub-C size battery, natural-colored resin parts, and aluminum die-cast front and rear parts. The bulkhead, hard anodized aluminum shocks, and other features give you the feel of the time.

The wheels and tires used at the time were 1.9 inches, but by replacing the wheel hub with an optional part, the current 2.2 inch wheels and tires can be installed. We also plan to sell some optional parts, and even though it is a reprint version, it will be fun to drive.
