{{Refimprove|date=January 2017}}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$|500|1986}} to make it competitive, Yokomo introduced the mail-order only SE 4WD featuring a host of parts that made the car competitive straight out of the box for {{US$|200|1986}} despite being offered with the stock motor.{{sfn|Howell|1992|pp=35-38}} The YZ-834B was replaced by YZ-870C in 1987. | Year | Model | Details | Known issues |
