When you want the best and money isn't a factor, you turn to TRICKBITS and the exclusive YZ10R.
It's an exclusive club with just 30 units so far in existence, yes you read that correctly, only 32 exist as I release this video. How do I know, well the chassis serial number and paperwork for my very own kit are adorned with the SN number 0027. Not only am I fortunate enough to receive such a rare RC race car, but the owner and founder Alby Smith personally delivered it to me at RCKicks HQ. This gave me the incredible opportunity to sit down with Alby and discuss what it’s really like to produce such unique artisan products. His passion for RC is obvious and it has to be when you stop and think about just what it takes to get to this point. Attempting to produce any RC car at all is something most never achieve, but to try and produce an extremely high-quality, UK-manufactured vintage YZ10 inspired race buggy that also performs to the highest levels of vintage racing and even modern racing! Well, that really is setting yourself a monumental challenge.
In this video, I build this car and show you all in great detail what you can expect if you are lucky enough to take ownership of one of these buggies. So sit back, and relax as you are going to see something very few others have seen.

Absolutely stunning work! The Trickbits kit does the original one justice and honor. I think your original YZ-10 has an upgraded steering configuration. I recall the original links would mount directly between the steering blocks and bellcranks, and there was a piece of piano wire with bends in between the bellcranks to keep them lined up. According to Team Associated, the purpose of Green Slime is to protect the O-rings from coming into contact with shock oil because silicone causes the rubber to swell. It’s not to prevent leaks but to prevent the shock shafts from binding after some time. When building shocks, I have found it to be rather handy to drop the piston in its place and slide the seals and spacers on the shaft first, then slide them into the bottom of the shock body as one package. This allows you to see that everything is there in the correct order and prevents you from poking out the last bits with the shock shaft.

This is what I’m talking about . A car made to actually race and last on track. Race tested. Best car you have had yet and the most interesting video with the creator . Bodyshell is the cherry on the cake. I would rather have this and actually leave the house to use it and meet People than have 10 toys on the shelf. What a conversation starter.

Re: 3d printing, there's a huge difference between FDM (your typical filament based printers) and SLS. SLS produces parts much closer to the strength, tolerances and quality of injection molding. That some of these parts are SLS printed should not be a concern at all.

That Trickbits YZ-10R is a gorgeous bit of kit, but I'm guessing it's a tad on the pricey side, and way out of the range of us mere mortals. But why did they not make a 'proper' servo mount? Seems a bit odd. Great video anyway, looking forward to seeing it running|!!

There’s a lot of quality 3D printed stuff in there! Probably not as strong as injection moulded but no initial mould costs.

They could of made aluminium servo mounts and not that you have to put double sided tape.... under that servo mount brace or whatever you call it and the bottom chassis.... or just make it yourself Gavin from another kit and fix them in the bottom chassis....

@MrAlbysmith 5 күн бұрын

Sorry that is not possible on the YZ10 chassis layout. The servos lugs must be removed as the front only has around 2mm clearance on the servo body. Not my design, all Yokomos work. Once the tape cures, the servo is fixed absolutely solid. Alby

@kenblockx2010 5 күн бұрын

I still think is possible or that it can be made ..... With modern technology and machining, saying it can't be done, is not acceptable, that's not professionalisme. Another layout , another position of the servo maybee but saying it can't be done 🤔🤔 for a car that costs so damn much not having a real servo mount ?? Common, you can do better trickbits

I'd say it's not a fair fight?.... Well if you're a great driver. I dunno it just seems like overkill for vintage racing... And is this really that vintage.

Gavin, you are using way too much Green Slime. All you need to do is put some on the inside of the silicone o-rings. Also if your machining is good you shouldn’t need to lube your shock adjustment collar threads

@RCKickschannel 4 күн бұрын

Yep I agree on the green slime, a bit OTT. That said it’s great stuff and I’ve never had a leak issue since using the stuff. The collar has the rubber gasket inside so that adds to the friction and I’ve found when adjusting the collar it can sometimes be stiff enough that it turns the shock housing and undoes the shock cap instead. A little lubricant on the shock body thread makes adjustment much easier and stops that from happening. Usually at the track when you are making quick adjustments. As long as you wipe down the excess I don’t find dirt and fibre from the carpet is attracted to the threads. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching
