YZ-834B is older than Optima Mid or Cat. YZ-834B won lots of races during 1985-1986 but didn't after 1987 because those belt drive cars were launched. Then YZ-870C was debut in IFMAR 1987.
I love the Dogfighter. But I dont understand how a chain car could have won so many championships back in the days? As the Turbo Optima Mid and Cat xl were belt and pretty much more competitive?
@thegoodbear1 Actually, in 1986 I believe, Optimas (chain-driven) took 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10th place at the ROAR Nats. They also took 8 out of 10 places (including first) at the European Championships, and 1st in the SCORE Open Class. Look it up--I have a Tower Hobbies catalog for 1987 and it says so there. Page 31. :)
By comparison, this Yoke looks blocky, bullish, and blunt. It's not a very pretty car, IMHO. :)
Man that's preeety slick espically for a car that is 25 years old. Awesome and I always wanted one but decided to go for the later model the YZ876C and got the first car into the UK and it was great taking many scalps on the way. Finally in the process of restoring that car now.
Awesome, the dogfighter was a machine not to mess with back in the day. I still have the alloy chasis stealth Rc-10 and one original rc-10 with a a graphite chasis update. I used to have a Optima mid but unsure what happened to it? guess I sold it. I also have a Losi from the same period as the stealth rc-10
i remember those days your car is pretty close to my first car i had the original rc-10 wit the tube body i jus upgrded it to carbon fiber n rebuilt it regeared it etc it kicked ass bak in 1998-2001 i now have the HPI rs4 mt everything is aftermaket n i still have the rc10 that car kicked ass
So good to see a video with a good soundtrack and not some ridiculous thrash metal.

Will be fitting a brushless system in the future.

Awesome car, Tak. That old Yok is still one of my favorites. Now if I could only find a new body and a Delta/Composite Craft chassis for mine. :)
