This collector-oriented reissue restores the Super Dog Fighter outline while reinforcing structural components with modern materials. The Protech 4 silhouette is retained and black carbon elements on the main chassis, shock towers and servo stay increase torsional rigidity; an under cowl is fitted to protect lower components from dust when running off-road.
The main plate is upgraded to a carbon construction to reduce flex and sharpen handling feel. Carbon front and rear shock towers and a carbon servo mount help stabilise the radio assembly area, while aluminum bulkheads and milky-white caps and rod ends preserve the original visual language.
The Protech 4 body is produced to match the original outline, giving the car its distinctive profile. Tyre tread patterns, wheel colouring and diameters replicate the era, and the under cowl adds functional protection rather than aerodynamic overhaul.
Included are front and rear gear differentials plus a standard slipper clutch intended for modern electric setups. Aluminum knuckles are used in key locations and the shocks retain an alumite finish with adjustable nuts for preload variation. Bearings and fasteners reflect a build consistent with the period.
The YZ-870CP is aimed at modellers and collectors who want a faithful revival of a classic off-road silhouette with selective modern reinforcement, giving a stiffer chassis for general off-road enjoyment and display purposes.
The Yokomo YZ-870CP Super Dog Fighter heritage reissue combines period-correct styling with carbon reinforcements to deliver a visually authentic model with a firmer chassis for practical off-road use.
