Fabulous series, thanks for all the hard work and carbon dust! I have a 870c waiting in the box. I did pick up some tasteful upgrades, carbon shock towers, carbon top deck, and a solid steering link. hopefully that all goes together without too much drilling and sanding. Great suggestion on sanding the diffs. I'm planning on going up to 2000 grit. Cause, you know, that's the grit I've got. And yeah, carbon dust is about the same as asbestos, the fibers go into the lungs and don't come out. Wear your PPE peeps!
i put Associated team shocks on my YZ10 back in the day... made tuning a bit easier because of options The Hobbywing tuner is pretty sweet! I have one and its super handy!
For troublesome leaky diffs an alternative I often use Kyosho's weighted silicone greases. They come in a variety of weights including 2000, 3000 and 5000. 👍
Great to see you sanding the gasket surfaces on the diff and wetting the paper gaskets with silicone grease before fitting them. I used the same technique when I built my 870C re-re back in April and haven't had a single leak :D
i have this conversion kit and i only sealed the shock towers. mine is set up even stiffer than stock for dirt track. my servo saver also comes loose using high torque servos try teflon tape.
Not sure if my Yz10 will ever see a modern carpet track but the video series on the yz-10/870c was very helpful indeed. Especially your section on blueprinting the differentials. I'm keeping mine relatively stock, just have the Yoko optional graphite chassis brace and a few spare carbon fiber shock towers. One thing I'm perplexed about is the use of these short shocks with the plastic caps and plastic ball studs on the end links which seem out of place on this kit at this price point . I have a set of the Fan RC hard anodized Team car shocks on the way @ 1.02 and .56 stroke rear and front to see if that is an improvement.
Great video series. The car handled very well after your tuning. I think there is a different boost firmware available for your XR10 stock ESC that enables boost and turbo timing (it comes standard with blinky firmware). Looking forward to videos on whatever car you get next.
This was a real rollercoaster. For the wheels, how about a rod with loctite on the hub side and a nylon lock nut on the out side, or lock wire. The car looks great on the track.

Thanks for the tip!
Bruce (xtreme) is a good fella. His carbon fiber stuff is really nice.
Very useful and entertaining as well - thank you for the upload!
As a Moldmaker, I almost always make ejector pins .001-.002 long, so you dont have the problem with the ejector pin nubs sticking out. Sweet build !!!
Thank you!

Thanks. I had to learn the hard way!
👋 I also race at Nor-cal Hobbies. You should bring this out on a Friday night race. I was planning to do the same when I finish mine.
Yeah, I need to get to the track more!

Yeah, those plastic rod end balls are out of place. Glad you liked the series! Good luck with your mods.
@ outstanding work! We appreciate the time and effort you put into doing this. I haven’t had this much fun in years.

Thank you for the heads up on the firmware. I like this ESC and the price point is good so being able to add timing would be nice.

That's an interesting idea. Thanks.
The button head screws might act like a rear skid plate to protect the rear of the chassis.
Where were you able to find the softer front springs? Do you have a part number?
The link is under the episode description. These are generic springs off Amazon that work well.
I don't like the heavy wires.
That carbon fiber company sucks. Poor standards, design and workmanship. Having to remachine so much is BS.
