That was one hell of a video , really enjoyed that Keith thanks for sharing the awesome Yokomo with us. I always remember reading about Masami in the rc mags when I was younger. Also fairly recently I was over the moon when Masami commented on my G-Force Genova video I did, in which he had a hand in bringing to production as he works for G-force. Anyway besides all that , an RC legend! Cheers again for sharing :) take care

The yokomo 97WCS build uses MX4 wheels. The MX4 is the successor of the YZ10 correct, but the wheels were released and utilized with a 97WCS spec car. The 1997 All Japan winner spec car used by Masami also had MX4 wheels. The 97WCS was a development, and engineering transition from the YZ10 platform to the MX4 platform.

The 97WCS is a development progression of the YZ10. The 97WCS was actually a conversion kit released by Yokomo. It could be applied to a 94-95 YZ10 to convert to a 97WCS. It consisted of the 95WCS chassis, two piece top deck with spring, New towers, rear camber plate. The "MX4 wheels" were already available at the time. The MX4 development process was already in effect in 1997 - Very close development timelines, for both cars.
