Team Associated/Yokomo YZ-10 Classic Blue Kit

Having released in July the YZ10 Classic Kit as a tribute to the successful partnership between Team Associated and Yokomo, Team Associated are now releasing the Yokomo YZ-10 Classic Blue Kit.  In the world of remote-controlled car racing, the 1989 IFMAR Worlds in Australia marked a pivotal moment.  Team Associated and Yokomo emerged as a dominant force, with drivers Cliff Lett, Masami Hirosaka, Jay Halsey, and Butch Kloeber showcasing their prowess in 4-wheel drive with the YZ-10 and ruling the course in 2-wheel drive with Team Associated’s RC10s, setting the stage for a great partnership between the two companies.  Fast forward to the 1991 IFMAR Worlds, where Masami Hirosaka stunned the racing world with a last-minute arrival of a revolutionary prototype – the Yokomo Works ’91. This cutting-edge model meticulously crafted and featured a slew of advancements derived from the winning YZ-10. From its graphite chassis to the innovative 2mm fine pitch drive belts, the Works ’91 IFMAR victory led by Cliff Lett, epitomized Team Associated’s and Yokomo’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of 4WD RC car design.
