This reissue merges the original Super Dog Fighter outline with modern reinforcement in key areas. The Protech 4 body keeps the classic profile, while black carbon on the main chassis, shock towers and servo stay tightens up torsional rigidity and an under cowl helps shield vulnerable lower parts from dust.
The kit swaps the traditional main plate for a carbon main chassis to reduce flex under load. Carbon front and rear shock towers and a matching servo mount limit movement around the radio gear, and aluminum bulkheads together with milky-white caps and rod ends retain the kit's period-correct visual identity.
The Protech 4 silhouette is manufactured to match the original outline, giving the model its defining look. Tire tread and wheel colour and size replicate the era, while the under cowl improves durability for off-road surfaces rather than reworking the body for modern aerodynamics.
Included are front and rear gear differentials and a standard slipper clutch suitable for contemporary electric motors. Aluminum knuckles appear where appropriate, and the shocks use an original-style alumite finish with adjustment nuts for preload control. Bearings and fasteners follow a period assembly approach.
This release suits modellers and collectors who want a faithful revival of a classic off-road silhouette with selective modern reinforcement, offering a stiffer platform for recreational off-road use and display builds.
The Yokomo YZ-870CP Super Dog Fighter heritage edition keeps the original silhouette intact while adding carbon reinforcements that improve stiffness without losing period charm.
