Vintage-Inspired Super Dog Fighter Yokomo YZ-870CP Protech 4 Body Kit  [YZ-870CP]

Yokomo YZ-870CP Super Dog Fighter restored with targeted carbon reinforcement

This restored edition pairs the Super Dog Fighter's classic Protech 4 body shape with strengthened components in key structural zones. Carbon is used on the main chassis, front and rear shock towers and the servo stay to enhance torsional rigidity, while an under cowl helps keep dust away from lower parts during off-road runs.

Building for stiffness

The kit replaces the original main plate with a black carbon main chassis to reduce flex under cornering and rough tracks. Matching carbon shock towers and a carbon servo mount minimise movement around radio components, and aluminum bulkheads plus milky-white caps and rod ends preserve the model's retro aesthetic.

Body, wheels and era-correct styling

The supplied Protech 4 body is faithful to the original silhouette that gives this model its identity. Wheel colour, size and tyre tread are reproduced to match the period, and the under cowl provides functional protection instead of modern aerodynamic tweaks.

Mechanical specification and parts

Included items are front and rear gear differentials and a standard slipper clutch configured for modern electric setups. Aluminum knuckles are used where suitable, and the shocks carry the original alumite tint with adjustable nuts for preload tuning. Bearings and fastener choices reflect a period-style build.

Who will enjoy this model

This variant appeals to modellers and collectors who want a genuine-silhouette revival with selected modern materials, delivering a stiffer chassis for routine off-road use and display-grade period detail.

The Yokomo YZ-870CP Super Dog Fighter heritage edition keeps the original silhouette intact while using carbon reinforcements to produce a firmer chassis platform for hobbyist enjoyment.
