About the 834B Dog Fighter
Retro Charm with Modern Upgrades
One of the standout features of the 834B Dog Fighter is the faithful recreation of the original 1985 design, complete with a resin main chassis and aluminum die-cast parts. This semi-finished chassis mirrors the classic build, offering enthusiasts the thrill of assembling a piece of RC history. Despite these nostalgic elements, Yokomo has made crucial updates to accommodate modern technology, such as adding a gear differential and a slipper clutch to handle the power of today's batteries. This careful balance of the past and present ensures the YZ-834B not only looks the part but also performs admirably on contemporary tracks.
Unique Suspension and Drive System
The 834B's suspension and drive system set it apart from modern buggies. Featuring front and rear monoshocks and a chain-driven 4WD system, this buggy delivers a distinct driving experience reminiscent of the original model's racing pedigree. The inclusion of a front one-way bearing and rear trailing arm suspension further enhances its handling, providing a smooth yet responsive ride. These features were revolutionary at the time and continue to offer a unique and enjoyable experience for today's drivers, making the 834B a standout in the vintage RC scene.
Nostalgic Details and Collector Appeal
To appeal to vintage RC enthusiasts, Yokomo has meticulously recreated the details that made the original 834B a fan favorite. The kit includes natural-colored resin parts and hard-anodized aluminum shocks, all of which contribute to its authentic retro look. These elements, combined with the modernized components, make the 834B not just a nostalgic piece but also a functional and competitive vehicle. Whether you're a collector looking to preserve a piece of RC history or a racer eager to hit the dirt tracks, this kit offers something for everyone.
