Hehehe Our Iso likes strange things hehehe :p:thumbsup:

Gearbox is one of only a few ever made for the next version of Lazer that would have been the next buggy after the Mk2 ZXR until at the last minute it got dropped and they brought the ZX5 onto the market.

Ok it made two worlds A's so was good on clay but unfortunately is crap on high grip surfaces. Well my version is a lot better but still not as good as I had wanted it to be but still more work to be done. Thats what I enjoy.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

so what your saying is that the zx5 front gearbox fits the ZXR?

What about the arm carriers and differentials? someone said the pure 10 used the same diffs...and were can I buy them?

ZX5 frontgearbox ,arm carriers and diffs doesnt fit the lazer zxr

pure 10 TF2/3/4 use the same diffs so yes they fit the lazer and should be avaliable from www.kyoshoamerica.com
What also fit are delrin outdrives for the same range of cars cool white stuff....spw 120 i think the number is.

SPW 121.01 are the number for those will break if you use strong motors but they look awsome.

Do you have a part number for the diff, the only thing I found was tf-5 stallion wich was the closest match. Should I give you my wish list now or later?

I've been looking around other boards and it seems as if you and welshy have been buying up part for a few years.....leave something for us liitle people please:thumbsup:

Actually the parts I have been buying over the last six years all relate to a car that you dont have, and the majority of parts do not fit your car. Still on the diff subject I would advise looking on Ebay for Kyosho diff parts and you will come across something like this. OK the gear I am unsure of it being the correct one but it could be but the rest of the items are a direct replacement.

The gear is LA1 so would advise to keep looking.

[moth898]

I actually bought two of those a couple of days ago with the same idea, I bought a couple of gears from vintage garage a month ago and want to try and match them.

Does any remember a airbrush artist named Josh Thiel, he used to work for rc car action. He had painted a couple of bodies for me a long time ago and I'm trying to get in touch with him for a paint job or two. I asked a guy in Vancouver I found, he actually asked mo for 250 Canadian plus tax:confused::confused:

99 percent of every one here are UK based. I would seriously recommend contacting a model shop and asking if they have any specialist airbrush people who can do your designs.

Other than that you can contact Custom Blitz who can do whatever you want for a good price, but is UK based and p&p would be extra.

Congratulations, are you getting any sleep yet:) My daughter just turned six months today, she my first child, everyday she does something new and funny. There is nothing better than seeing your child smile, in the morning, only by seeing you in the morning. Is this your first child?

p.s. I also received the bumper and shock stay today...your the man...Thank you Iso.

Well i raced the same car for 14 years and the results i got were quite good considering everyone else raced newer cars. Legend is probably down to what dave belsten, craig harris and i got up to before and after the events. Heck the worlds warm ups was one of the best laughs ive had, but ive got to put worksop up there as a top two. Woke up in a hedge, the one outside the house of the girl i enjoyed the night before, stumbled semi drunk to the event to find id missed booking in and that luckily the guys had booked me in and managed 11th in a semi drunk phase which was fun. Would have done better if i hadnt decided to have some fun in a hedge with some bird and drank less and slept a few hours.

[isobarik]

Moth i also have parts for the "holy grail" if you want ........

mvh Isobarik

[moth898]

Whats this holy grail:confused:

[Welshy40]

That ones easy - the ZX-S. He has a few spares for that. Then again I have a lot more :p.

[isobarik]

I have 4 nip LA112 beat that .....:p

mvh Isobarik

i think this will turn in to a food fight ...:D

[Welshy40]

I have 4 nip LA112 beat that .....:p

mvh Isobarik

i think this will turn in to a food fight ...:D

a food fight i know i will win. Ive got six new and a few out of the packet. Ive 25 rear belts, 20 front belts, 15 packets of la11, 4 one ways, four sets of proto ujs, three chassis, top deck, rear cf gearbox and shock mounts. Two bearing sets, six diff sets, six front and rear gearboxes (plastic) and top front wishbones and a shed load of proto gearboxes as well. Six bodyshells and undertrays and three hyperclutches and four kick up plates, six metal zx steering knuckle arms and a lot more. Still i race this and doubt you will so my spares should last me another ten years at least.

[isobarik]

What is the LA112 then ??? :D

mvh Isobarik

[moth898]

now boys...play nice

[isobarik]

i dont see that you have listed the LA104 ....:D

mvh Isobarik

Moth easy win for kanada...and where is the union jack in the olympic hockey have you seen it ???

[Welshy40]

mvh Isobarik

The chassis poles as well as the gearbox poles and bearing holders.

Ive got 8 new sets if my memory is correct. Ive also got the pivot plates and pivot holders, Wing mounts (6) but the list is long and whats the point. I mean a lot of people collect which is fine but i still use my zxs and at the moment dont think its going to break very often but just in case ive more than enough spares.

I may sell half the belts later on but they wont be cheap.

[Welshy40]

Iso, the package arrived. Thanks for that. Pity you had to cut it as the plan was to get a mold made of this item as one unit as this would be cheaper than buying two items. Still great they arrived.:thumbsup:

One of many more easy wins for Canada. I just hope they don't choke in the finals. The union jack is a american confederate symbol associated to slavery and racisme, it has nothing to do with Canada. That might change if america goes bankrupt and we buy them though:thumbsup:

I found a guy on ebay selling that holy grail for 1300 us, kind of stupid high if you ask me. check it out

Any way i have parts if you want to build one but it aint cheap...since i am building one ...

Welsh any FD68 got them ??? need some.

The la 111 that i sended you are actually 2 pieces but are made under the same plastic .... i think you get me ...anyway if you look at the spur gearcovers you can see that one of them has the cut on the other side since one where backwards....

I was thinking of taking an picture before i sended them and i regret that i didnt.

Sorry Welshy I hope no offence is taken, Its the same name for two different flags....to be more specific one is the British Union Jack the other is the Confederate Union jack. Living on this side of the atlantic, the american flag came to mind first. To be honest, I didn't even know you were British.

Not a problem, I just found it amusing. Small world as I was actually talking about the flag and how it came to the design it currently is just before you posted that. No offence taken as we all have a sense of humour as you have probably noticed with the way we take the mickey out of everyone here.:thumbsup:

[Welshy40]

Iso, now here is a good one for you. The alloy nut that holds the two halves together after the thrust screw has been put into the diff (Z-K/39506 x 2 Ball Diff Complete Set – ZX/Pure Ten), do you know where I can buy just the nut and screw?

I did a couple of years ago for my 501X as I replaced the thrust race with the kyosho one and screw and T nut as it was stronger but I cant for the life of me remember the part number or description, all I know is it was the nut with the two flanges on and was alloy and the screw.

[moth898]

Maybe this can help you welshy...it's not a pure ten but itlooks as if it can fit. Take a look at the rear diff in the exploded view.

Part number is incorrect on the manual. Its not number 23 as thats TF112 which is not that item. Gutted. What's bugging me is I know Kyosho sell a diff screw and T nut but cant find it anywhere. I can find most things but this is driving me crazy trying to find it.

[isobarik]

But those the screw and nut use 2,6 mm ??? and the screw is how long ????

mvh Isobarik

damn i´ll have to check i just think i remember that i bought an bag with that stuff from the LHS

[isobarik]

For the Lazer zx5, LA200 is the part number for the T-nut should fit considering

uj´s pohlems, cvd´s has the same diameter now and then just the lenght of the axles is different.

So it should fit the downside is that LA 200 are multiple parts tree so you also get the "crown gear" dont know if thats the right name but you should understand what im talking (writing) about.

The screw length is the same length as your zxr or zxs diff screws. The nut is the one it screws into so your diff locks together, i call it a t nut due to those bits on either side so it slots into the diff cup. The ones i really need are the alloy ones and there is a packet sold by kyosho that comes with screw and that nut, but have no idea on part number. Im after quite a few.

im going to get one and try but still need the alloy ones for a specific reason.

[isobarik]

Welsh yeah i did see what you mean since i just found it ...and it as you say in alloy didnt know that.

Anyway got it ....:D want it ....?????

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

Yes, i need four at the moment, so if selling i will buy. However i just realised that the ultima RB has items on it that were first tested on the zxs and i found the part number

um121 is the part number and what im after. Cant seem to find a seller though.

[isobarik]

I have one but that comes in an packege with some other stuff outdrives and the big thrustwashers....basicly everything to build an new diff ecept the pulley and bearings and the neame for that is WBD-05 can get 4 of these atleast but they are very expensive due to many parts in the bag.

Um121 i found it but dont think there are many left i can just see 1 but i can call them, sometimes thinks arent what they seams to be....not very expensive.

UM509 is the new version still the same stuff as with the LA parts but you get an diff gear for the RB.

Basiclly if you spread the words for some kyosho ZX5/RB5 drivers i bet they still have them on there parts tree.

What are you going to do with them is it for the diffs or do you have anything special in mind ???

mvh Isobarik

yes. Im getting a trf511 and found with the 501 that the diff screw snaps and is too weak. Kyosho screws are thicker and means you can use all the diff ball holes in the diff making it a lot smoother.

[isobarik]

Found an manual of the 501 and did see that the screw is just 2mm sounds a bit on the thin side it does.

The 2,6 nut doesnt that fit in the plastic "T" (k4) (tamiya 51278) but then again it will be plastic..

Buying 4 wbd 5 will get you the steel T nut but then again the price is like getting 4/5 LAW20-1 and i guess that aint cheap its not for me anyway.

can check the avaliablity about the UM121 (steel T nut) on monday.


On the latest pics on youre car i did see the the white LA-11 pulleys i guess they hold up fine.??

LA11 works fine. Handles the 5.5 on a ration of 9.7 to one and hasn't broken yet.

Cheers for checking, and if four are available then please get for me and I will paypal you for them. The plastic ones are two weak and if the slot is bigger the alloy would be a better bet to make sure that it doesn't break.

[isobarik]

Welsh do you have the dimension on the car compared to the zx5????

if i dont remember wrong the zxr was kind of narrow compared to other chassis back in the days.

mvh isobarik

got it had a car in the house and took some measurments 240mm incl tires...250 is maximum legal....hm ...room for som improvment ...

No idea, sorry. Chassis width look the same but dont forget the zx5 is a tub chassis so will look wider even though it isnt.

My zxr had the wider front end and was on the limit. My zxs is on the limit on the front.

It cost me £40 but i did a few other items as well.

I dont have any spare chassis parts unfortunately. The only spare one is on my spare zxs which im going to sell in the next couple of months. Its not a proto but almost brand new (except for chassis, top deck and ujs). Ive got too much stuff so when i do sell that one then all ive got to get rid of is my unused prototype.

[isobarik]

Oki have to order some from fibrelyte instead.
Sorry bad photo i actually used an piece of paper as an background so thats way i held the camera a bit to close.

Anyway i know its not carbonfiber its actually LA101 shockmount from kyosho that i found at the LHS.

[isobarik]

Oki thats okay ...

....i can get them ....from my supplier
1 they are 10 years old maybe thats not a problem
2 they are expensive 15£ for the front an 14£ for the rear


so beltcorp here i come ....

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

I paid more than that.

[isobarik]

You paid more than that each ???

mvh Isobarik

Yup. Mind you i guess that was due to shipping costs from japan

[isobarik]

oki maybe thats why since i thought that mine was very expensive.

rear belts unless you can get original are avaliable from another supplier dont remember which right now have to check in some mails.

Moth ...

USA 5 and kanada just 3

And lost an point to the swiss party what do you say about that ??? Good penelty shot by crosby he did see that little gap that i saw. Pluss in the swiss team was aiming for that gap also but broudor was holding his pad better then hiller and then the 2 points was in hand.

you will most probably find that german belt maker wont be able to do the belts for the zxs as unlike the zx and zxr the belt teeth numbers are an uneven number so finding a manufacturer that can do them will be hard work.

I really don't care about a bunch of millionaires skating around....if they can't find the inspiration to win for their country shame on them.

I have bigger problems...I raced my cat for the first this weekend and broke more parts than raced. The worst thing about it is that I am one of only a couple of people racing a shumacher, when it breaks on a simple landing, people notice and comment. I broke two arms, bent two pivot blocks and a rear hub carrier all in two qualifiers. I'm giving it two more races to show what it can do otherwise I'm going to race my zx-r....or buy a new zx5....or put a sledge hammer to the cat I don't know. look at my post in the shumacher forum.

Any sugestions ????

Yes when your rear does go youll know as the front tends to stretch at the same time.

I really don't care about a bunch of millionaires skating around....if they can't find the inspiration to win for their country shame on them.

I have bigger problems...I raced my cat for the first this weekend and broke more parts than raced. The worst thing about it is that I am one of only a couple of people racing a shumacher, when it breaks on a simple landing, people notice and comment. I broke two arms, bent two pivot blocks and a rear hub carrier all in two qualifiers. I'm giving it two more races to show what it can do otherwise I'm going to race my zx-r....or buy a new zx5....or put a sledge hammer to the cat I don't know. look at my post in the shumacher forum.

The bosscat was the last great schumacher in my opinion. Sell it and get a tamiya trf511

[moth898]

Thats what I'm thinking

Well the canadiens was inspiered to win, was working very hard but couldnt get enough goals to beat the americans.

Those arms if they break at the same place on the both arms isnt there some kind of moulding problem ???

oki will get the same amount of rears as fronts then.

I sent a e-mail to shumacher for help with something else and all I got was automated advertisements sent to my e-mail, do you think they'll do anything about a design flaw?

Yes they will resolve your issues but i would recommend emailing the uk office rather than the US. May as well deal with the head office who really are rather good at dealing and rectifying issues (they did with me).

I guess I'll be communicating a little more now with England due to the closing of the american office.

I just got those diffs for the lazer, they're not the same as the originals I hope they work. they got that winged nut welshy was looking for.

I've decided to go ahead with a lazer zx-r racer. I'm convinced it will be stronger than what is out there right now. I'm going to use that stiffer chassis I found and I'm going to switch to fiberlyte shock stays. Any other suggestions?

Fibrelyte front semi circular shock mount is by far the strongest and protects your gearbox case. You may have to file the brass bushing lump of the front to make it fit or buy the Dyna version which is a work of art.

[isobarik]

The diffs with the wingnut are the newer type the actually came with the lazer zx-rr so they do fit dont worry about that.

Make sure that the chassi you will get for it are NOT an MKII
Fibrelyte shocktowers are the way to go if you want to get the car stronger.

I´ll bet that welsh have some more tip also.

Great news he is hooked, my prototype is still in progress as it didnt perform as well as I had hopped. On just carpet with no wooden floor or jumps I have a perfect setup that is on the pace.

I havent sold any ZX-S parts to anyone so bang on that we have another on the go. However if he holds on for another month or so I will have a brand new one for sale, built to perfection and cost not including shipment will be £350 GBP. It comes with an unpainted shell and undertray.:thumbsup:

[Welshy40]

Moth,

I would also suggest buying from fibrelyte the zx steering plate as it stops bumpsteer (its the straight one compared to the angled ends on the ZXR) when connected to the blue steering arms.

Longer Ujs for the front so you can use the other hole in the castor blocks, as this gives the car more control and more stability as the front is wider the rear follows.

So now we calculate ratio's of metal's to population:confused:...did you see that Canada has the most gold metals...that's never happened, the gouvernment actually funded the athelets these past four years. In the past our olympians payed for most of their training with little help from Canada.

On an other note, I just bought a lot of lazer parts to finish my racer. What should I use as electronics...stick or saddle. What size motor..brushed or brushless

[adam lancia]

You're partly right moth, the Own the Podium Program is the funding you're talking about. It seems to have helped a good deal!

[isobarik]

Of course the canada government wanted a good olympics with alot of medals usually is that home team makes more medals then other olympics it was like that in china and lillehammer.

mvh isoarik

[Welshy40]

Saddles balance the car better so would advise that. I would recommend you guys telling me the distance between the rear battery post to the front battery post in MM so i can see if my Lipo tray i designed will be a direct fit. Also i need the distance from the front post from left to right, all measurements from the centre of the screw hole. If yes then you can buy Lipo saddle packs no more than the vampire 4400 as any bigger they wont go under the top deck.

Motor i would advise a 6.5 and liked the Losi as it was cheap. Otherwise get an lrp x12 but to use this properly you will need the lrp sxxtc esc. If too pricey losi do a package deal with motor and esc but the esc is not always reliable. The tekin rs pro esc is what i used to use and never failed me at all.

Ratio, well you PM me what you have bought and i will give you a starting point. You need the motor to come off after a five min race at a hand warm temperature, quite the opposite to brushed motors where they come off really.

Hope this helps.

You can use the new CVD designed for the Zx-5 ;).

The LA232 (or the cheaper 3 racing one) can be used insted of the W-5063 at the front and for the rear you can use the LA245.
The hex drive washer (cheap non alloy version) are the LA218.

I'm not really sure about this, but probably you also need an LA231-02 at the rear because the LA245 has a different longer wheelshaft that did not fit correctly.

The alu hex drive are the LAW30 ;) !

Intresting question ...

From what I understand these wheels will not be longer in production and tey will be replaced by the new flat outside version ones:
- W5026 ( Zx5 Std & Zxr Front) ----> W5203
- W5028 ( Zx5 Std & Zxr Rear) -----> W5202
- W5029 (Zx5 SP & FS Front) ------> W5201

This isn't a really good thing for us, because we have a flat version at the rear and non flat at the front.

Someone however is using the W5201 also at the front (and the car looks good ;) ) but I really don't know what happen to the front width.

Cheers for that, however im after the original one to replace the one i pinched from my proto type. I prefer the white to the original yellow and cant really use the new ones on my new unused prototype.

On my race version proto type i use the Annsman Mad Rat 2wd front and back wheels as they are a perfect fit but also use the new rear kyosho wheels and will try the wider fronts as per the picture you posted which looks identical to the Mad Rat wheels.

Stupid quesion does any guys out the own an ZX5 i would like to have the distance between the the 2 inside hing pins .

Since back in the days when the ZX5 was still an proto i saw one with zx arms on it and the length of zx5 and zxr arms are the same
they both use the rb type r hub, sp-107 zx5 rtr LA 304 same layout
but the zx5 use 65.5 in the rear and 68 mm driveshafts in the front
compared the zxr that uses 655.5 in front and 62.5 in the rear
so the inner mounts have to be wider on the zx5 and i would like to know how much.

You can use the zx and zxr part numbers, i had some spares lying around but nothing anymore. Still online at quite a few places worldwide. Also zx5 but if too long youll need to cut. For the plate i had it made in 3 degree, 1.5 degree and my favourite 0 degree but you have to file it down more to get a perfect fit.

No dont as the hex is slightly deeper and causes the wheels to not rotate properly. Dont waste your money, I tried them and what a waste.

Buy a set of the Annsman Mad rat wheels which I use (The Mad rat fronts do make a slim fit as they are 2wd but seem to work if fitted correctly) or buy the Kyosho rear wheels which I also use as per the picture and Mad rat fronts or the wider front Kyosho wheels.

Nice idea im just using a pair of old shock shafts and cant be bothered changing to the pins. Still good idea of yours.

Bad news though as the blue hubs cant be used so would recomend buying the correct hubs as 4 degrees is more steering than you will ever need, also the width isnt correct with the teamline hubs. Ive tried and had to change. Angle isnt correct either on the wishbone.

Yeah i was thinking of the shockshaft too but since i didnt have one laying around but had these screws, screw it was going to be. it is not perfect since it should have been an fraction longer so the unthreaded part goes thrue the 2 bracket´s that way it really minimize the play. I have located some shockshafts and shall pick them up later they are with an friend of mine and he had plenty of them.

Teamline same there they where laying on my workbench so thats way they are on the car these are the 7.5 type and i will change them later for the 5 degree type. Still it looks good :D

When you say wishbone do you mean upper or lower ???? i´ll guess upp yeah its close betveen the hub and the upper wishbone and i had to move the wishbone to the inner mounting hole since it was too long otherwise i think i will have to shorten the ballcup and maybe use the shorter turnbuckle. What lenght on the turnbucle do you use the manual say 20mm but if feels kind of long i have an 15mm type i think i will try it.

any sugestions ????

Its the hubs on the zxr dont work correctly on the top and bottom of the hub and think the bottom is worst affected as you cant use the inner hole on the hub due to it being too wide. I use the four degree as the steering is major and i like a twitch city car but four is as low as you can go. Its due to you having the three piece chassis as the first zxs used the zxr hubs front and rear, as well as ujs and yokomo adaptors for yz10 wheels but with what your using its a no no. I was gutted as i really wanted to use my teamline parts but couldnt

Turnbuckle thats like mine is best as any longer its crap. Youll find out with the correct hub.

[isobarik]

But what hub should i use then and witch hub do you use...

When i updateed my adobe i can see on evo manual they have an hub that is called LA-128-4 do you have that ???

Iso,

rear ujs need to be level and rear hub use the bottom middle hole on wishbone. Front wishbones level. Im finding that the zx and zxr setup doesnt work at all and this needs to be high to work well. Front and rear need to be the equal height off the ground with batts on board but do rekon a brass lipo tray is needed so hope to see mine sometime soon. Im using four degree front hubs and zero degee on the rear pivot pin plate.

thank welsh but i havent ordered the chassi yet shall do it later.
Any way i have sended fibre-lyte one of my alu motorplate to have it copied in carbon. When they can dulicate it in carbon I shall order it and the chassi/upperdeck.

On the steering posts do you use the ones to screw it together with the topdeck as per manual??? or do you use the optima version with the c-clip ???

For the zxr the poles with circlip but zxs as per manual as tension is needed on the belt unlike the zxr where the cars more efficient with a loose front belt.

Iso you can buy my one piece design lipo tray that fibre lyte made for me

Welsh tested the um 510 wich is the uj for the rb5 62,5 so it fits but it has an longer axle so its better to just get the 62,5 bone and the axle for the lazer .

Also i found that black axle for the upper wishbone its actually an axle for ultima/optima serias of cars.
So
OT-11 and UM-7 also works since those bags contain that axle.

[adam lancia]

moth: the bodies from bluegroove aren't made with the best quality lexan. I know a few guys that have picked up bodies from him and they've said the quality of the molds he uses are not so great. I would wait on Kamtec.

[moth898]

I want to buy from kamtec for that reason as well to compare, for now all I have is the bluegroove set and everyones word that kamtec is better.:thumbdown:

[Welshy40]

Kamtec shells are better than the original in the case of kyosho as they are thicker and withstand more abuse. Im still using the same shell i fitted over two years ago and it still looks great.

[Ema]

Moth,
I have to quote the other guys ....
I bought a bluegroove Zx-r body (unfortunately before the undertray was available :thumbdown:) in order to check it better and I have to say that the Lexan is really too thin for a runner.

If your idea is to put the car on the shelf, the bluegroove body is fine (however some details are not as good as the original one), but if you want to race again your Lazer, it's better that you wait the Kamtec Zx-r shell or get a Kamtec Zx-s one ...

I also have to admit that the Parma Tomcat (that Welshy also sent to Keith) looks really sexy over the Zx-r :wub :wub ...

Cheeky sod, just my luck it was supposed to be red and came off pink, and no thanks I prefer the female variety, preferably much younger than you hehehe :thumbsup:

Before you race your car change the rear shock mount holder as its brittle and one roll you'll need a new one. Have an alloy one made, or maybe better still a brass one to better balance the car on the jumps. I am not joking and can cause major problems if you don't.

Yeah i have that part in front of me and it doesnt look that strong where you talking to fibre-lyte to have it made in carbon ?? is it finish ???

I have bought som springs they are the kyosho 75 in the front and 68 in the rear almost the same as losi greens/pink ....what do you think ???

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

Fibre lyte cant do it as you have to drill through the grain and it splits which is annoying. Alloy or brass is the way to go like my race car.

I never really liked the kyosho springs and prefered either schumacher or associated. Still if they work great. I can give you a set up for blue groove wet clay (yatabee arena) later on when you need it and does work rather well.

[moth898]

Nice to see you like the vintage stuff too, a company named team bluegroove makes a complete body and undertray set but it's a little on the thin side for racing. A company named Kamtec is in the process of makeing molds too, since they are based in the UK maybe you should wait for their set to save on the shipping. If you need any parts let me know, I've got alot of spares together.

Good luck,

Give us the part numbers and we can source it. Any carbon fibre parys try fibre-lyte as they have pretty much most of the items.

These are cars I got as reward for some help. They still need some cleaning.
As you see Lazer has steering block from Optima so that's what I need, maybe
also rear driveshafts if I won't be able to get rid of rust and some new wheels.
Optima needs driveshaft, axle, hub mounting screws, hex and wheel (I got only
3 wheels). I haven't checked everything yet (especially drivetrain internals) so
there might will be more parts to replace.

I'm bit on tight budget at the moment so as I see it - it will be project for longer
period of time

Your Lazer seems in good condition; there is a lot of dirty but the condition seems good :thumbsup:.

The steering block of the Lazer are the same as the optima ones, so you will not need them :) (you got the original zx ones in alu).
You also got an MKII chassis, a custom front diff cover (nice!) and a Welshy design front shock tower (from fibre-lyte).

You will need for sure a complete wing mount and a decent rear shock tower ...

For the rusty dogbone try the WD40 ;).

P.S. You can download all the instruction manuals you need here:

Thank you very much.
This car was bought long time ago from what I know (more than 10 years) and was only taken out of basement recently so all parts are old.

I want to complete both cars at some point and I belive that I'll use alloy steering blocks on Optima, so I'll need plastic one for Lazer.
I've got complete wing mount it's just disassembled for now.
Don't know anything about rear shocktowers - only that there is engraved "ATP".

[Welshy40]

Well the gearbox on the front thats blue is an MMS dyed one and is almost unbrakeable and quite frankly a brilliant design.

Steering arms are easily obtainable and the shock towers and chassis and top deck can be bought from fibre lyte. Best bet would be to buy the standard kit item shock tower for the rear and front if you want to replace it so you can make the car almost as per the original kit as it does look superb when standing on a shelf. If racing keep the front as it is you wont break it.

You can replace the centre top deck holder with two silver poles as it just looks more appealing especially if on display.

GT85 would be a better option instead of wd40 as this can also be used to wash the bearings out with as it does the opposite of WD40 and doesnt keep the dirt in. I also use on the UJs.

[lochness42]

Well it's destiny isn't decided yet. I'll might give it a run sometime at least I want to make it runnable. Cars were meant to be ran not to be on shelf IMO.

To WD40 and GT85 - I've got both, but I'm using only teflon obtaining lubes on my bearings - GT85 and TF2 are weapons of choice for me.

Target is clear - I want to make both cars complete, but it seems like long way to go for me at the moment.

Well if its a runner then replace the rear shock tower for a carbon fibre zxr version from fibre lyte. keep the front you have as its superb (that is if it isnt cracked).

Replace the centre top deck holder with the poles (lots of people did this mod) as it gives more space on the chassis and is stiffer.

If racing on high grip i would recommend a 7 degree castor block on the front. I believe someone made a B44 lipo tray fit but if you want one I have designed a single saddle pack tray (you will need two of theses for a saddle pack) with fibre lyte. Its thin and flimsy but does the job.

Also put a metal bar between the rear wing mount sides as this also strengthens that and gives it much more life as it doesnt bend.

I would also put associated ball joints all over as they are easier to work with. I moved my front top link on the front castor block to the very inner edge so I could use a ball joint. I didnt like the way the kit worked with the link in that position. The car feels much more responsive with the positioning moved. I will post a piccy of mine for your reference.

I really doubt you will find the parts as i and iso have pretty much everything that was available. However i am currently selling my collection and already have a buyer for one zxs which will hopefully be going in a week if the poxy uj pin and wheel hex appears in the post and that just leaves the only unused zxs prototype buggy which i will be selling but if your interested its going for £500 gbp and postage to your door is extra.

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

Personally i know what will break and there are none around so unless you have deep pockets to have special items machined out of alloy then dont run it as it breaks easily due to kyosho never completing development and parts being stupidly fragile. Yes im the only person still racing one but ive carried the development amd my car is 90 percent different but the spares are one off items that ive had made for me.

Chassis, shock towers, gearboxes, diff gears, layshaft gears, bodyshell, gearcover,steering plastic parts, pivot blocks, lipo tray and theres more. Plastic items are still being developed but the way the gearboxes are designed the molds we make dont last long and back to redevelop another new one which takes a long time to make and costs as well which isnt cheap. I also had a one off alloy rear shock tower mount made by my friend Manolis from Greece, but that would cost close to 60 gbp for one and he also made me an alloy front gearbox which is a work of art and thats close to 200 gbp and will only use at for big jump events.

[isobarik]

Yeah but there are so many small parts that you dont think of that both you and I have made different solutions.

And all the screws and steering and turnbuckles ....and so on and on and on ......thats why my build has taken so long.

Always some small part that you dont think of that is missing.

but then again the hunt is so fun.......

This car was only released in japan, 300 single chassis with a lot of zxr parts, losi shocks, yokomo wheel adaptors and wheels and 200 three piece chassis and roughly ten protos. The amount of spares sold was only enough for that amount so explains why spares are so scarce but a rerelease wont happen as the cost will be more than what the current zxs used models are being sold for. It was a design excersise and a show off excercise.

Hello to everyone in this ZXR oople club.The ZXR was the car I admired when I got my first real rc car, a Lazer Alpha in 1993.That Alpha was gradually updated with ZXR parts and homemade parts and it still holds a special place in my mind.My friend James (thank you for your kind words and hospitality) and his real support for the Lazer line all the way back to the radiocontrolzone forums in the past decade were the ones that pushed be back to spending time and countless hours on drawings of alternative designs with the Lazer.

Ok enough with history and into the now.I decided to run my project ZXR in this years Petit race.I thought that on carpet the car will be pretty good.My car ,photos of which you can see here:http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/Petit2010/) has newly designed alloy bulkheads ,front shock tower,chassis with built in 10 degree kick-up ,new front upper deck and camber link mount and alloy center top deck/motor mount. Separate sidepods bolted on the main chassis carry the battery on the right (which I used in one sided NiMH config at Petit) and the electronics on the left.

The car turned in greatly as i was trying to remove steering sensitivity throughout the event but needed some more work in the front end to make it perfect.Simon kindly offered some alternative steering blocks but didnt have the time to try them and though I could remove some rows of pins on the front tires I was looking for clues on design changes/tuning options I could incorporate in the future without masking any handling deficiencies. The car changed direction rapidly (and to my view faster than rear sadle pack current cars) as expected with that layout but was harder to get back to shape if you broke the rear end loose (e.g. in the small straight leading into the hairpin in front of the rostrum ).I smashed the car sometimes and at one point I thought that it was quite serious coming down from the rostrum in one of the qualifiers.The front wishbones moved enough for the hingepins to come out but I just put everything back together and continued.The only thing that broke was the steering bellcrank that connects to the servo but luckily James had the optional Kyosho blue one that is a definite improvement in flex and strength terms over the standard black one.

If anyone needs parts made for the car identical to what I used or based on other ideas,feel free to pm me.The front ZXS bulkheads made for James came out more expensive due to the need to fit the standard ZXS shock tower and chassis.I can do something similar to what I did with my ZXR for the ZXS more affordably, if you are willing to use a newly designed chassis and shock tower (which I anyway think that would benefit from being reworked)

Is this manolis? If not then apologies for not remembering you as i was quite unwell with a kidney infection and was exhausted and having issues with my car as i kept breaking it and had to work out why this was happening. Anyway if manolis then you missed out that the small set up changes i advised you tried and worked well and you did rather well in qualifying. Funny that i just emailed you, small world.

Mmmm the only "Lazer like" pictures that I can see in your link are the Manolis one .... so I think that you are Manolis :lol: !!!

If I remember right you also came in one of our indoor races in Italy, held last year in Casalecchio near Bologna :woot: :woot: .... the world is really little !!!

The last month we raced the Italian indoor championship in the same location and it was a really nice event !

Welsh i got some discount on some shocks i bought from en oople member due to being as "mad" as welshy regarding the lazer series of cars so i guess...thanks :thumbsup:

sorry should be "as mad as welshy"

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

Iso,

Im lost, are they saying that because I made them they sold them cheaper to you??? Thats funny if that is correct :thumbsup::woot: but if not then who was it that sold it to you?

[isobarik]

yeah i asked him if he would ship them to sweden and for how much extra charge . The guy said that he was an friend of yourse and I due to being as "mad" as welshy regarding the lazer series of cars i didnt have to pay the extra shipment charge.

:thumbsup:

mvh isobarik

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[peetbee]

Hi Iso/James, you don't have to be mad to love the Lazer but it helps! ;)

I've just got the last part to bring an Optima Mid back to life now so I think I qualify as being insane about old Kyosho's too :woot:

We'll be running another vintage series at Caldicot this winter so it'll be racing again too!

[isobarik]

Hi Pete thanks for the easy buy and looking forward to see them ...:D
I will post some pictures of them on the car it should be looking really good.

And it really helps to be a bit mad to love lazers.:woot:

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

Pete,

I know your just as crazy as me with these cars and like you enjoy racing these cars for fun and couldnt care less where i come. The last vintage event was brilliant fun and laughed quite a lot whilst racing with you, Dave and Matt and im going to try to persuade my wife to let me do several vintage races this year. Ive evan got a 13.5 as well to make it more fair.

[peetbee]

shelf queens = :thumbdown:
racers = :thumbsup:
:woot:
persuade my wife to let me do several vintage races this year.
Won't be until the winter, but I'll post the dates up when we're ready to go.

Ive evan got a 13.5 as well to make it more fair.
As Balders was running a 6.5/7.5? last year and Andy was running an 8.5 in his Thundershot :woot: I wouldn't worry about the motors!
Mind you, if you're worried about breaking your fragile elderly car I can understand :p

[isobarik]

Welsh good news from www.fibre-lyte.co.uk (http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk) they now have the zxs motorplate in carbon

:woot::thumbsup:

Moth and who was it that came first in the NHL Regular season scoring ............

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

Fragile it isnt as hitting an iron chair leg whilst doing 30mph down the straight only bent the shock shaft so impressed me. Im going to work out how to post on u tube the video.

Iso great news as itll look great on my car with a carbon fibre shock tower mount as well making the rear end gearbox almost totally CF

[lochness42]

Yes Skidrow is Manolis.:D

[Welshy40]

Skidrow is that taken from the band ???

how much would an original alu zxs gearbox land on ???

mvh Isobarik

Im still seriously tempted on an identical to the original front five pieces of the gearbox in alloy and also identical rear gearbox plastic sides in alloy. How much for that as well?
