Yankee 87 4x4

[victorsaab]

I finished weeks ago this Yankee, although some parts are not yet the proper ones (dampers).
I did not know this car so I needed some help from Tamartin to find out aditional parts



I based on photos in rcmagvintage, also for the body painting



But finally 3 colours were too much for me and the body finished with the colours of my favourite football match team





And I found yesterday this "pipe of peace", brand new, when looking for red Tamiya paint


I got an aditional front damper so only one more is missing. If someone have available stuff please let me know.

Yap! After the "sacrilege" of mounting the straight Yankee exhaust in a Siccom I learnt about the proper ones. And yesterday I recognized it between a lot of modern RB engines in my RC-shop. Only one

No please! I would not paint it

The engine is already there, and now I can remove that stupid little exhaust. Only that the Picco is not according to the age of the car, and of course I should turn the cooling head correspondingly.

This car is not for run but I have spares enough so I think it will finally run. I only need time as I have it in my village (Arenys) where I go at the weekend.

Today I could set most of the pending parts of my Yankee.
I mounted 2 front Yankee dampers, that nice exhaust, changed the front rims for the proper ones (smaller?) and hereby the result.
Still pending parts, but I'll make it run when I find the time. There's a lot to do.

They told me that the Yankee exhaust sounds great
