Kyosho ZX- ...?? Which version?

[Durango]

Hi guys,

Got 2 Kyosho Lazer saturday. I get the 2 cars from the same guy for a good price, but he gave up that hobby since years and don't know any more which versions they are. I'm not such a Kyosho specialist... so I need your help now :)

Both cars are almost complete and basically in good shape... Either one should be a ZX-RR, there is in effect no doubt :)

But the other one...no idea! I think it should be a ZX-R or ZX-R Mk2. But what's the difference between both version?

Here's the car:

Hi,

It's basically a mk1 with a mk2 front shock tower.

To understand the differences between the mk1 and mk2 your best course of action would be study pages 27 to 30 of the Lazer ZX-R manual on Retromodelisme as these pages are the supplement to convert the mk1 to a mk2.

Hi Pacman,

thank you very much for your help.

Yes, I already studied the zx-r manual on retromodelisme, also suposed it would be a ZX-R.

So at first look I have to replace some parts to build it correctly: rear hub carriers, replace the rear universals by dogbones, front shock tower and turnbuckles

...right?

Cheers,
Daniel

Depends what you are trying to build.

I recently built a zxr mk1/mk2 hybrid. It took one zx sport and what was left of a Lazer ZX and 2 mk2's. My advice to you would be to make one good car from the 2 you have and then see if you have enough left to build a 2nd.

The other chassis is in good shape and almost complete. It's just partially disassembled. I think I will build 2 chassis :)
