Default New pics up @ the Yokomo site

looks like Hudy met Team Yokomo...









there are more pics:
http://www.yokomousa.com/

looks like a 100% race machine, with open diffs probably no
bashing. But then no CVDs? Lot's of alu and carbon - almost no moldings.

I really liked my BCspecial, it was a fun car to drive but to be honest I've gone better with my zx5 and bj4, the yoko was always a bit 'on the edge'.
this new one looks rather tasty, cant wait to get my hands on one.

Yeah, it looks so ... sexy

But I think the pictures show a hopped up version.
full carbon, full alu for the regular kit??? The only thing missing are the MIP CVD's even Ti turnbuckels. Hard to believe.

If the price will be in the Pred X10 region, I will go for the ZX-5
which looks to be easier to clean, less expensive and it offers the choice of three front axles.

If the price is somewhere near the ZX-5, I'll go for the Yok (depends on the
review too, to be honest) But it's difficult to get here in Germany.
The BC Special shocks I use in my MX-4 are from Doom, 'coz it was
impossible to get them in Germany.

Kyosho cars used to be very expensive but their prices seem to have become a lot more realistic.... the zx5 is really good value.
I cant see the yokomo ever matching it on price, I think there will only be this one 'super' version so it has the potential to be quite expensive, hopefully they can sort it so its somewhere between the Kyosho and TTech cars.

Yokomo cars have never come with CVD's as far as I can remember (but I will stand corrected). Didn't the BC come with all of the blue alloy parts as standard as well??
The last time I owned a Yok was the 95 worlds edition and that came with full carbon kit.

I think this unversal are better then CVd's easier to clean for sure, and not much difference in the lost of power.
