About the Wonder Dogfighter Vintage Buggy
Legendary Racing Heritage
The Yokomo Wonder Dogfighter 1/10 4WD Off-Road Electric Vintage Buggy Kit is a faithful reproduction of the iconic YZ-834B, the machine Gil Rossi Jr. piloted to victory at the first IFMAR World Championship in 1985. This commemorative edition recreates the original racing spirit with authentic packaging, replica graphics, and performance-focused upgrades that capture the look, feel, and handling of a world-class buggy.
Enhanced Chassis and Suspension
Built for strength and precision, the Wonder Dogfighter features a reinforced ribbed chassis that boosts rigidity and stability across all terrains. The front double wishbone suspension and redesigned lower arms increase durability and improve cornering grip, while the rear trailing arms feature added ribs for enhanced stability at high speeds. This careful attention to detail delivers a competitive edge on dirt tracks.
Advanced Drive and Control
This buggy boasts a front chain-drive and rear gear-down 4WD system with a torque limiter that acts like a vintage slipper clutch to protect the drivetrain. Equipped with a front one-way axle hub, skid-resistant flat-pan chassis, full ball bearings, and a midship motor layout, the Dogfighter ensures smooth power delivery, quick handling response, and excellent traction in demanding off-road conditions.
Authentic Performance Upgrades
Iconic gold-colored aluminum dual rear shocks replace the original mono-shock setup, improving off-road performance and cornering stability. Combined with aluminum front shocks, a rear anti-roll bar, and heavy-duty low-profile tires, the Dogfighter offers both authentic looks and modernized handling. With its polycarbonate clear body and wing ready for customization, this kit blends nostalgia with real racing capability, making it a must-have for collectors and racers alike.
