Lazer zxr

[bignick]

I have attached photos of the ZX-R I bought off ebay. Its in very good condition, a bit dusty but all the screw heads are in great condition and the bearings are smooth. The wishbone pivots are alloy too.

The left hand knuckle is broken, I have a spare one but was wondering if the ZX-5 ones fit? Think I read they fit but need a little filing, should be easy enough.

The motors seem OK, maybe a little notchy so they may need servicing, any tips? Not done much with motors yet.

I'm not a fan of the silver wheels, got 4 rears, any idea what they are off?

I've ordered new belts and blue steering so let the cleaning and reviving commence.

P.S. I'm working away so the 'lovely' table lamp and table is the hotels not mine. :)

[oosh123]

Daft idea but what if i redesigned the spur gear with a fan so the air goes through to the metal motor plate? Other idea is fitting the fan in the rear gearbox.

You can design so that the spur gear IS a fan. So whenever the spur gear turns its blowing wind on the motor plate.

Tidy looking ZXR there, bignick :D. I look forward to the renovation pics! :D:D

:)
Use a grinder to grind off about 2mm from the top of the zx-5 knuckle and it will go right in. The ZX-5 knuckle is also more durable than the OT-16 ones.

Cheers.

Yeah, I've been sourcing parts and dismantling ready for the clean up. It has been cared for (on the spoiler it says 'Phil May Racing Team'). I spoke to him and he said he'd won plenty of races with it but was more into his helicopters and planes now and the ZX-R had been collecting dust.

Whilst looking at this one I have noticed the UJs on my other car are worn and not sure whether to go with replacement W5061's or go down the route of LA245's. I have bought some VZW010's already though, so may try the LA245's.

I've done a bit of searching and earlier in this thread it says about taking the ZX-5 knuckles to 19mm in height. I'll get the file out at some point and sort it.

Should be a good looking car. Might try and take the paint of this shell too, will see how successful that is......

Still searching for suitable shocks too, shame its just missing the one.

Go the kyosho rebuildable ujs as they have a lot less slop. Shocks get the blue velvet kyosho ones as they wete used at the end of the zxrr run so wont be too far from the original design, other than the colour which is better than the dark colour and gold colour shocks at that time.

Knuckle arms I prefer the alloy zx version, much stronger and sern a lot on ebay

[bignick]

I've seen the alloy zx knuckles on ebay, they are on often, may have a go at getting some of them and then I'll be able to try both out.

Think I'll get the LA245's then, if they're rebuildable then that has always got to be better, i.e. for getting replacement parts.

I'll have a look for the shcoks too. Will probably be a steady rebuild as ever due to available funds etc. Can't go splurging too much dosh all at once.....:eh?:

Do the blue velvet shocks have a gold body? If not do you have a pic and can you still get them new?

[Welshy40]

You may be able source the evolution shocks that were silver ish.Think the velvet are only blue.

[HKS_TRD]

I have seen standard bore velvets with gold bodies and blue caps on each end on eBay. I think all the velvets I found on eBay had a gold body, I might need to try a different search.

The evo shocks were the first version back in the 90's and were a variety of colours, Ellis Stafford had black ones on his, I had silver with gold caps and also had blue (which were also on the ZXS protos in 93/94) so is possible you can find them. Let me know what you find and send me a link via PM.

I remember the shocks call TC-PRO shocks? ultima rb type R or type R evo have different color， gold or blue，kyosho released different color caps black 、blue、gold、red、purple

Now that's a great start! Loads of N.I.P stuff... I suppose one of the cars is a Lazer ZX-Sport?

[oosh123]

Sorry guys, I was putting the parts in the envelope. Sealed. But I can't find your addresses.

Can you please PM me your addresses please. Even Paypal won't display it.

Thanks.

i havnt got a clue as to whether it is a zx sport or not, i'm guessing the one with the black shocks is a sport,

anyhow i'm knackered now and been doing this for about 4 hours,

i used new arms, hubs, gearboxes, belts, bearings and i rebuilt the ball diffs before putting them in, plus i used a whole new screw kit i had NIP so the screws all looked spot on

its not spot on as the chassis was used but i've done as much as i could for today, i'll finish it tomorrow,

lots of pics here,

Do you have a ZX-R MKI front shock tower in amongst all your parts by any chance? Its the FRP one for a medium length front shock but it only has one hole for the shock rather than six like the MKII tower

i was thinking or putting the la14 on the build instead of the silver alloy ones but still not decided, it would have been nice to stick the carbon ones on but they have too much wear for a shelfer, what you guys think, silver or black shock towers ??, also what do you think for the gear cover, clear or dark tinted ??



also i have added some more pictures, mainly close ups,

Hey ron, just realised you are running intermediate shocks with the ZX/Short shock mount. You won't get much travel like that, I reckon you should definitely get Fibrelyte to run you up a new CF front shock mount :Dx

deffo right about not having much travel on the front,

I've put shorther shocks on with more travel for now, and the black towers nip, will get the carbon towers when the money comes along,

You also don't need those larger outer rod ends when using the ZX-R kingpins. Those larger rod ends are only needed when you use the hole on the C hub which is deep inside the wheel to locate the rod end

is it the ones on the top of the front hubs you mean, if so i only put them on because i really like them and want to also keep some original parts on there

[Welshy40]

Ron, yes and nice, some originality cant hurt.

[HKS_TRD]

Was anyone else bidding on or watching the carbon tub on eBay before the auction got pulled early?

[isobarik]

Nope never noticed it ....


mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

I was seeing as i designed it and need one. Went a bit high considering i couldnt see the condition of the chassis.

[HKS_TRD]

I had a bid placed on it but received an email from eBay saying my bid was retracted.
The seller pulled the auction early, I assume because someone made an offer for it for a direct sale
There was a few bits and pieces with it but I agree the condition was hard to see
You are getting a tub made either way aren't you, will there be any difference to your original design?

Yes but did want another. Im having exactly the same layout as the balance is spot on and is simple to drive all due to my hard work on getting that correct and was only 3mm off on my newer chassis designs. I will be adding the lipo tray holes and centre holes for the weight between the cells and may do another two holes specifically for my rear gearbox but wont stop anyone using an original gearbox.

What do you mean your having "one" done....what about the rest of us:mad:

[rondoolaa]

if the tubs go into production and if it did and i was to purchase one would it come with all the holes drilled in them already and would i be able to request one with no holes in it whatsoever so i could drill them myself.

[Lowry]

Hi and sorry for stepping in the tub discussion.

I am about to built a Lazer Sport Runner (additional to the ZX-R) and am missing the following parts:

TM-11
LA-45

Does anybody of you have these parts? New or used does not matter.

I have more than enough parts to trade (new wishbones, new belts,...) or would of course also pay for the parts.

Thanks for your help and cheers

Moth once im happy with the chassis everyone will be able to buy one. The mold will be kept safe for me.

Yes, template tub will be a blank so if you want your own placement you can, ive already tested my design and it works but im adding lipo tray holes and centre block battery spacer which i use for weight placement

Im more into zxr rather than sport so am a bit lost however i did type in on google search kyosho tm11 and several appeared so get looking. La45 may be a bit harder to find but bound to be someone here who can help.

Why not contact HPI themselves and ask them to look in their old stock, chassis never seem to move from stock so you do tend to find a vast stock somewhere. :blush:

I'm building up a Lazer from scratch and I'm not sure what the parts are worth as I have only bought parts for Mids so far

I'd like to use all new and upgrade parts where possible.

So far I have a chassis

My friend Lars the one that got the package he wanted me to put all my stuff up on the wall like in an hobby shop just for fun. maybe i will do that after i have built my new garage.

When i moved my stuff since i bought a new house my wife cleaned out my old stach there where some complaines about the quantity of rc related stuff.:lol:

Hi guys, long time no post...

I decided to do some laps with my ZX-R yesterday, and raced it too. I raced in an open class with different cars on the track. Anyway, I TQed and made 2nd. I drove the car as slow as possible, in order not to brake anything.

Great video and not a bad drive. If you are using the standard wishbones the only thing that will break will be the belts and layshaft pulleys so you can go quicker if you want

Anyone have a zxr undertray to sell.....ISO hobby bag maybe. Just don't ask me to be your bitch again... it hurt last time

[Joe Kimble]

Thanks guys! I had a great time racing it!

There are 2 things I felt about the handling:

- The one way bearing makes the car extremely unstable under braking and at corner entry.

- The battery (a 2s lipo stick), if put all the way in the back makes the rear slide like crazy.

I couldn't do anything about the one way, but I placed the battery further towards the front (all the way against the plastic part that holds the upper tray). That made a huge difference.

Does anybody have a trick to lock that one way?

what happens if you tighten the nut on the left side ??? (otherside of the slipper)

[terry.sc]

Guys, do you know a trick to lock the one way bearing so the braking actions all 4 wheels?

Thanks
Just tighten the nut up that's used to adjust the one way. Loosen the grub screw in the middle of it, tighten the nut down and tighten the grub screw up and it isn't coming undone.

[Joe Kimble]

Thanks guys, I had tried that already and it doesn't lock it. Also, if I do that it brings the front belt too close to the upper tray and rubs against the left side of it. I rebuilt the rear gearbox to make sure I didn't miss something and apparently I built it right.

I'm going to try the reverse one way. I heard it put the brake action on the front wheels instead of the rear wheels?

Anyway I'm not planning on racing it again. I'll just drive it around in the woods if I have the occasion but most of the time it'll stay in shelf queen mode... :-)

[Joe Kimble]

About that play I mentioned, I think that putting one or two extra 8x12 shims between the bearing and the pulley should remove that play and keep the belt clear from the upper tray.

[terry.sc]

Thanks guys, I had tried that already and it doesn't lock it. Also, if I do that it brings the front belt too close to the upper tray and rubs against the left side of it. I rebuilt the rear gearbox to make sure I didn't miss something and apparently I built it right.If the layshaft is built correctly tightening up the adjuster nut can't affect the position of the pulleys or front belt. All it should do is push the aluminium disk against the side of the front one way on the outside of the gearbox. Any grease on the disk will prevent it grabbing against the side of the one way. If the pulley is moving over then it isn't shimmed correctly against the bearing.

I'm going to try the reverse one way. I heard it put the brake action on the front wheels instead of the rear wheels? Not much point on a ZX-R. The reverse one way will only work if you have the ZX centre ball diff and even then all it will do is most of the braking will be done by the front wheels.

[HKS_TRD]

I have a NIP set of LA-26 arms however these are the early type with the extra webbing. Are these exclusive to the original ZX and are they better/worse than the other style?

As Terry said, i think you havent built your layshaft correctly as thats the only thing that could cause this. Is the e clip fitted? Or is the one way faulty ( you can test by removing the pulley and put one way back on the layshaft and turn both ways).

Out of curiosity did you have a roll bar fitted as well?

[Joe Kimble]

I can check again but I rebuilt it, carefully checking step by step if everything was fitted like on the manual. Every shim, e-clip, pulley and bearing is there, fitted...
The One way works, but I didn't grease or oil it. Maybe I didn't fit the upper tray properly? The rubbing is very slight anyway and there is no sign of wear on the belt. :-)
So the reverse one way isn't recommended? ok

[isobarik]

Reverse Hub means you will have no rear brakes at all.

Ive had the same one way issue as you and one issue was the e clip came lose and the other was due to the bearing i used instead of the thrust bearing between the pulleys. Sometimes you need to improvise as i find having zero slop left and right on the layshaft (almost zero) saves the belt. I used to use a hyper clutch with a bearing in the early 90's in between the pulleys and took the e clip out and made a difference but using the mk1 layshaft and zx i found the thrust bearing better.

The one way when the layshafts fitted correctly when tightend takes the one way option away. I prefered a lock nut rather than the kyosho allen key nut as the thread lock screwed on backwards did a better job. Im now intreagued as the only other option is the bearing surrounding the oneway or hub has collapsed giving far too much slop.

12

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

Im tempted to buy a set of the 14mm hexes Xray are making for their new 4wd buggy and also a set of their wheels and see if they work out the same width overall as the Annsman wheels I am currently using. The 4wd Xray wheels look rather nice.

[isobarik]

or just use the cat2k wheels since they are also 14 and offset should be more accurate

[HKS_TRD]

I guess I was wrong! Whats the verdict on the pargu ones? I recently got some unknown aluminium ones which look OK but the one behind the front gearbox is bent on one side and not sure if I can save it. The one behind the rear gearbox looks like it might place the shaft closer to the chassis than the standard ones

[Welshy40]

Pics please of your pivot blocks.

My pivot blocks in cf at the very front and very rear are sorted, now currently redesigning the one behind the motor and once done the one behind the front gearbox. I broke that one last night and snapped a cf wishbone. Still test was good and car is getting faster and faster. I reckon once ive got the setup right and im not far off then watch out.

[HKS_TRD]

There is a pic of them attached in the last email I sent you
The ones behind the front gearbox and infront of the rear gearbox are just a square block with the correct holes on them, I am pretty sure they are identical to the ones on the Lazer tub build up that was on RC10-Talk a little while ago

[HKS_TRD]

Ok so these are the parts I need if anyone can help, I would prefer them new but would consider near new used parts especially for the rarer items

39655 blue steering parts
two of the short suspension shafts(I have a complete set missing two short ones)
UMW-1
LA-23
LA-31 (though I only need the rear shock tower mount from this parts set)
LA-32
Bearings for la-112 belt tensioners (3x6 I believe)
3x6 flanged bearing for the steering plate (I think this is the correct size?)

It was an upgrade and made by another company MMS i believe and was made of nylon. It did away with the brass bushing section and it was very strong. I used one as well but redesigned the front tower to be stronger so is now not really needed for the track. But if you hace the chance and really want it then why not.

the ass doesn't answer his messages from anyone, he checks them and doesn't answer. Stiffed me on the belts and won't respond.

F-you oosh....cuz I know your reading this.

relax moth, oosh123 has been around this thread a long time and has proven himself time and again. Give him some time, you never know maybe something has happened to him like accident or something. I mean if something happened to me like if i am dead , there would be no one to inform forum members right? its not like i tell my wife I am member of so and so forum and you gotta make an announcement on those forums if something happens to me right?

Are the battery mounting posts closer together on a ZX-S or ZX-R MKII than they are on a regular lazer ZX? I have a chassis here that is for a ZX-RR or whichever model it is that has the rear bulkhead a little further back and the batter posts are closer together than a ZX which means I can't use any of my battery holders on it.

[isobarik]

zx zxr zxrMKII zxrr and zx-s have the same lenght between the holes

they are just angeled on the MKII so they still fit ...

welshy40 i sent you a PM did you get it?

Thanks, ive replied.

[HKS_TRD]

I'll take some measurements tonight and post them up

[Welshy40]

Guys Oosh123 spends a lot of time abroad working so isnt ignoring you deliberately. When hes back he should reply.

we where talking about the battery bars....

mvh isobarik

[HKS_TRD]

OK took some measurements today. The battery bars are 80mm apart on my ZX but on the chassis for my Lazer project they are approx 78mm apart, a small difference but a difference nonetheless.

[Welshy40]

we where talking about the battery bars....

mvh isobarik

Ok sorry. You know there are two sizes of battery bars for the zxs so make sure you get the right size

[isobarik]

Yeah i noticed that when i got my evo chassi since i got the bars first.

but i bought the evo bars *aka spidey* for my evo and use thezxs on my daughters lazer zxr ....

Well ive redesigned my rear gearbox plates slightly and will be my last change.

Ive also had a rethink on the pivot block holding the front of the rear gearbox to the chassis and even though ive designed and having my unique pivot block made i think the easiest way is to change my L brace design so it and the cf motor plate ive done both hold the front section in place solidly and means normal pivot blocks can be used. The rear will be held in place by the rear mount after a tad of dremelling.

Once ive got all the bits made and the new layshaft as well i will be doing a step by step manual on how to build my rear gearbox. It will have a vts slipper attached as well.

[HKS_TRD]

I'm assuming the ZX-S bars are 80mm spacing between the post hole centres, how much closer or further apart are the post hole centres on the evo bars? I guess the difference is small enough for Fibrelyte to tweak an existing design for me.

[isobarik]

HK i can take some measurment later .

Just dummying up bits for my projects and hit a problem I am hoping is common and easy to solve.
I am going to be using LA245 driveshafts but I find when I assemble them onto the knuckles along with the vzw010 drive washers there is quite a bit of space between the drive washer and the bearing. I imagine I need to use shims or spacers, which side do they need to go on, between the driveshaft and the inner bearing or between the outer bearing and the drive washer? I have also considered using a flanged washer to help make up some of the gap, would this cause any issues?

OK I also have a second issue, I have a spare pair of steering knuckles which are vintage Andy's however they dont have the lip that sits between the two bearings meaning that you can push a bearing right through, obviously they would never have been useable like that, I can't find any info on line for how they were intended to be used, would they have been designed for flanged bearings on either side? It has me stumped. I want to at least use them on a shelfer if not on a runner as I actually have two pairs of them

Merry Christmas to you all

use the la -231.02 axle with the la245 bone...

mvh isobarik

[HKS_TRD]

Ah yes of course I remember now. Seems a bit of a waste to have bought the LA-245 complete I should have just gotten the bones (UM-510) but I can't seem to find them on eBay anyway.
I might still use a flanged washer and the LA-245 as is on the back of my Mid as that will be running the wide front and maybe on the front of my other project as that will be running the narrow front and the extra bit of track wouldn't hurt. I'll do some trial fits with flanged washers which I need for the Andy's knuckles anyway and see how it pans out.
It sucks not having a Kyosho distributor in Australia

[HKS_TRD]

LA-23 sent too. Let me know when you get them. Also welshy40, remember when i said i lost all my lazer layshaft parts? well i found all the parts in a ESC box. Looks like my Lazer ZX project is back on track.

LA-23 came in the mail today, thanks Alcyon :)

Thats exactly what I am doing with them too.
The upper deck I got from Fibrelyte has a pair of countersunk holes to line up with the posts as well as another mod

Happy new year guys.

Any idea what the part number is for the hyper clutch thrust race that sits in front of the spur with the spring tight against it? Ive somehow managed to lose mine through my floor boards.

I also got some Black Rit Dye today as well

[Welshy40]

Im after some rubber sealed ceramic bearings (if possible blue) and wondered if anyone knew where to get them from.

Does anyone know if Kyosho do ceramic bearings?

[DanB4]

Hi lads,

I was almost going to sell my runner Lazer ZX-R which I bought a while back but have changed my mind, bought a ZX-S Kamtec shell and undertray and decided to get her ready for that elusive vintage race....hopefully when I holiday in Oz in July will be the 1st time she runs in race conditions. All pivot blocks are alloy so I'm hoping for no breakages (touch wood).

Here's some pics. I know about the blue teamline hubs but does anyone recognise the aftermarket white nylon steering bellcrank setup? Wasp perhaps? Also is this slipper clutch standard? Anything else that I've missed?

Hopefully she'll go like a dream...even with the front one-way diff and central one way! I'll need to go easy on the brakes.....do you think she's ok for brushless + LiPo in current form?

I might also replace the gold shocks with some 3Racing ones or some proper Kyosho from my FS.

Lastly, the belt seems quite slack - any way of tightening without buying some kind of a pulley and installing on the top deck?

Cheers,

Dan

Was this listed on ebay recently? It looks an awful like one I was watching this week, don't know where the white bellcranks come from though.

Yes that was me but decided to keep it

[Welshy40]

Im unsure on the white steering, never used anything other than kyosho. Belt will be fine as is but if you do need to tension it i designed an L plate with a section for a tensioner to be added to it and is the simplest way.

Spur is a wasp and fitted to what looks like a zx layshaft but could be a mk1.

What brushless are you running as if its too hot ypu may destroy the rear belt. May be a good idea to get a few spare belts from ebay which are quite cheap.

I would opt for the kyosho shocks if i were doing an upgrade as they are superior to the 3 racing ones.

Looks good never the less.

Hi all, I've been building a couple of ZXRs from NIP parts and have some Fibre Lyte bits on the way to complete them. What I really need is some new screws to put them together. I've been using original but old screws so far but really want some nice new ones. I figure it's not possible to find original screws but can anyone recommend a new set that would do the job?

Cheers :)

[Durango]

I'm also restoring an Kyosho (Optima Mid Cust. Sp.) and I'm also looking for screws. It is possible to find the original screws, but you have to order this every single screw type by Kyosho (10 screws per pack). These are unfortunately quite expensive. Take a look at the german Kyosho HP for the item codes:

If your based in the UK I suggest getting the stainless steel hex heads (rounded look nice) from Apex models as they are not expensive

[Naushad]

If you need hex screws go to Westfield fasteners...cheapest I've found.

Hi all! I wish you a happy new year!

So I tried again tightening the nut to lock the one way and it worked. Thing is perfectly locked. I guess I hadn't tightened it enough the first time. It really changes the handling tremendously. The car is very stable under braking and at corner entry now. :)

Guys, what's going on with oosh?? I would like to order some nice looking blue lazer belts.....:cry:

[HKS_TRD]

I think he has the zx plate as thats what i use.

I did a dummy up using the regular Lazer turnbuckles and the Lazer plate on a Mid chassis and I found the plate fouled on the front gearbox case, I have trimmed a plate so it clears but I suspect the same issue would be there with the blue turnbuckles so curious to see what his solution was

That brings me to another question I have been meaning to ask, I notice that the blue turnbuckles place the plate at a different height to the regular black lazer steering parts, does this cause any issues and do you mount the plate on top or under the turnbuckles? Also they don't come with a top spacer what is a good substitute I don't have the black spacers handy for my build

[HKS_TRD]

Guys, what's going on with oosh?? I would like to order some nice looking blue lazer belts.....:cry:

Me too, as well as see if it is possible to get his front gearbox parts or not

I'm sure he is just busy and will be back soon

When using the 39655 (blue steering) things will be a bit tighter in the front hence why the zxs uses the LAW24 wich will give some more space in front.

btw welsh have made an package so soon ....

i tried using the ZX plate, but i only have one for my ZX. so i now use the plate that came with my A&L steering set. its graphite and fits nicely. I will get some pics soon. in order to clear the mids gearbox you will have to play with the bellcrank height, not only that, you will have to find the right height so that bumpsteer is kept to a minimum i used the spacers that came with the 39655 set. you also have to mount the connecting rod from the servo to the bellcrank underneath becuase if you put it on top you cant mount the topdeck.

Some pics would be great. I have an A&L steering set for my SWB Mid build.
I have a standard ZX plate that I put a recess into so that it would clear the mid gearbox with ZX bellcranks when I test fitted but at the time I didn't realise that the 39655 bellcranks are a different height.
You can see the mod I did to the ZX plate in the pic below against a standard one.

Does somebody knows the part numbers from the Kyosho Velvet shocks who might fit on the kyosho lazer zx?
Edit: I need also the part number from the topdeck when I use chassis LA-60! Is it LA-57??

[oli4ke]

I'm sure he is just busy and will be back soon

Hope so.....:(

[kenios]

are these the shocks you mean, see picture??

they are from a lazer ZX-5, not the big bores !

you can find the part numbers in the manual from a lazer ZX-5 and also ZX-5 SP or FS or maybee from a ultima RB-5 they are somewhat smaller in lenght i think.

LA-60 is for the ZX-RR and LA-57 is from the ZX-R if i'm correct and i don't think it goes on a lazer ZX but see what others say.

if you want fibre lyte has the LA-60 in carbon and matching topdeck in carbon but for the ZX-RR ! i think the distances of screwholes are different.

[HKS_TRD]

Hi Oli I have a ZX-RR upperdeck I don't have any plans for. Its not new but its in great condition. For the shocks I think the part number is W-5181,2or 3 for short medium and long respectively.

[oli4ke]

I don't think that W-5181,2or 3 is the correct part number! The velvet shocks have the following part numbers

W5303V
W5304V
W5305V
OR
W5194V
W5195V
W5196V
OR
W5303GM

Hi Oli, I'm out of town at the moment but will email you pics when I get back. I did post a pic in this thread a while ago however. I see what you mean about the part numbers, one set of three numbers is standard bore and the other set big bore. No sure on the last two numbers. The numbers I quoted might have been for the equalizer shocks. I have to say all the Kyosho spring and shock part numbers confuse me!

[oli4ke]

Can anyone help me identify this upper deck, it looks like a Lazer one but its a little longer than the upper deck on my Lazer ZX. Is this a ZX-RR or ZX-R MK2 upper deck
Its in great condition, what would it be worth if it is one of these?

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg152/HKS_TRD/RC%20Cars/Upperdeck.jpg

No worries let me know the price once you get back.

I see what you mean about the part numbers, one set of three numbers is standard bore and the other set big bore.

I guess the normal velvets shocks are

W5194V Triple Cap Thread Shock (30mm)
W5195V Triple Cap Thread Shock (42mm)
W5196V Triple Cap Thread Shock (38mm)

Not sure which size is the best for the Lazer ZX.....

Guys I just bought a set of alloy pivot blocks that are now being made, forgotten the name of the company but they are not an exact copy of the originals and don't fit correctly. I have emailed the chap making them asking if he can rectify as I cannot use if they don't fit correctly. Front rear gearbox pivot block the holes are drilled in the wrong place as they are just off centre so not an easy fit and the rear two blocks the wishbone holes are closer to the gearbox and the rear block cannot be turned upside down so cannot use on jumps without kick up. Im a bit gutted about this.

[HKS_TRD]

Was it the ones from Pargu? I just bought a set but have not had a chance to test fit them. I'm not sure if the seller is that fluent in English, I have sent questions to his website in the past and never received a response

Well i hope he comes back to me as if he doesnt no one will buy from him.

Hi,

I've got some LA245s for the front of my ZXR so I got some blue wheel hexes for them. The question is can I use ZX-5 wheel shafts (part no. LA233) for the rear so I can use the blue hexes on there too?

Any help is much appreciated.
