356 - Four Out Of Four

The packet from Japan I've been waiting from before Christmas 2025 is finally arrived!

It comes from the Shiga prefecture, a place that I love and where I collected gread memories.

The robubust envelope carries the Yokomo Wing BG/15t Stock I've purchased from the Bay at the end of 2025.

The motor is in working conditions, it spits a lot of debris when I applied some current and the two capacitors look "burned", I guess it has been very used and in a close future I will check its brushes and its  commutator and for sure I will give it all the care I can without force its endbell.


Well, my small Yokomo collection have been completed, I haven't the intention to use them (but I'm tempeted expecially by the Wing 2 and the Wing 4) and I want to find a good way to display them all togher.

355 - To Do List

This post want to be a pro-memoria note, a list of things to do to bring back to full running condition my BBX and my Wild One.

Time ago my Wild One have been revamped with new differential gears, a new Robititronic Speedstar II 17T ESC, my Tamiya Dirt Tuned motor and switched back to its ABS chassis instead of the non stick pan I've bought on the Ebay in a moment of fooly.

It will be updated with:

- a set a yellow fluo 2.2 JC Racing wheels;

- (maybe) a new chassis;

- some yellow fluo lining or a new body with a livery to match the other buggy in my fleet:

- a new Futaba (or futaba compatible) receiver due to my swap from the Ko Propo EX-5 to the Futaba 3PV.

My BBX, that have been already updated with a new Robitronic ESC, for sure, needs a new ad well painted driver figure but I'm considering to buy and paint a new body... recently I've seen some good interpretations on the Internet that could be a good inspiration.
