Yokomo YZ-834B "Dog Fighter" is a 1/10 scale electric-powered 4WD radio-controlled vehicle made by Yokomo. The first version was introduced in 1983 for off-road racing.
As the YZ-834B required numerous upgrades and an investment of US$500 (equivalent to $1,390 in 2023) to make it competitive, Yokomo introduced the mail-order only SE 4WD featuring a host of parts that made the car competitive straight out of the box for US$200 (equivalent to $555.92 in 2023) despite being offered with the stock motor.[1]
The YZ-834B was replaced by YZ-870C in 1987.
