Default Going to restore a Yokomo GT4

I will post pictures tomorrow. I fixed someone’s RC a T-Maxx and he paid me and then gifted me this. This was years ago maybe 2016 I just pulled it out my bin and decided I am going to try to get back to function..

It's a nice car. Getting pretty hard to find parts for, though.

here's one of mine, I too just recently finished restoring it. I installed a rotostart backplate on the rx.18 engine that came with the rtr.

Yeah, definitely don't drive the GT-4 on dirt. It doesn't have shrouds to keep rocks out of the belts.
