Lazer zxr

Yeah the rear gearbox sides in alu would be great i think that couldnt be that hard compared to the front 5 piece design gearbox the rear gearbox should be easy.

Btw i got some white machined arms coming my way will post picture later.

Do you mean wishbones, if yes once you have posted the piccy please update me with a cost as I will be up for a set.

[Welshy40]

Well ive finally managed to download a race video and this is the worst race i had so apologies for my bad driving. I will upload another where it was better tonight. Lap three my car died and took me 35 seconds to get it working and then drove like a retard to get the lead back which i did manage, still you should notice me hitting the metal chair leg and no damage to the gearbix or wishbones. Only the front shock shaft bent slightly so shows my development is working well. Several laps were 5 seconds and believe with a bit more work i could make it a bit quicker. Im doing another club in the next two weeks with jumps and will post that as well.

Welsh yes white machined whisbones......:thumbsup:

will post some pics later...when i recive them ...

Not the most challeging track but hey anything for som action....but the camerman got a bit out of focus in the end.

youre car rolled like an donut after the hit.

When you drive indoors you use the schumacher mini pin ??? do keep the pins or do you cut them down so they are like slicks...(bald)

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

I used schumacher yellow mini spikes uncut. I will use mini pins uncut as well once ive got the weight placement correct.

It spun a few times but the race was a bit caotic as i was seven laps down but the car gripped well on corners and showed how far ive come. Its starting to feel like fun driving this again but im still two laps down so still needs a few mods to catch up properly. Out of focus yes but got what i wanted and you tube does compress this quite a bit so lacks quality. It was a hard hit on the chair.

I cant wait to see the wishbones as my car uses white plastics except for the hubs and wishbones and would look nice totally white. Are they the zx ones as the design is stronger.

I sended the zxr arms and they have copied them and machined them but i have no clue what they wil look like except white i have seen other arms that they have made and they look good.

The best thing with having them custom made its so easy to change the looks of the wishbone since its more expensive to remove more material they can be made just plain white with just holes for the pivot pins and srew holes for the shocks.

I have paid for them and since i just got 1 set with four whisbone ( 2 front and 2 rear ) they where 75$ incl shipment and if order more they would be cheaper. Totally worth it

Welsh youre car looked totaly planted in the corners and acceleration was awsome. Looking even more forward to finish mine.

Cheers mate, its getting there and isn't up to my standards yet but as I stated previously I cant take all the credit.

Im no expert in setting up my 4wds (ok I am quite good with 2wd) and tend to rely on the top drivers to give me a good setup and I just drive the car to the limits that I can take it.

Well Dan Greenwood (X factory driver) did have a look at it and even though I was not the most polite with him due to being quite unwell at the time with my Kidney issues his ideas on the front of the car were almost spot on and the rear end his ideas were not all there but with a little trial and error I am getting the hang of it slowly. Still cant fault Dan for his help on getting this half decent.

Now to see how good it goes with new mini pins once I have sorted the overall balance of the car. I am awaiting a brass lipo tray and if lucky a brass top deck rear mount which should balance the rear end better than any other idea I have had.

More videos to come.:thumbsup:

i bought losi shocks from pete as you know and have ordered some new pink rear green front springs and i will take it from there since the zxs came with them it cant be all wrong.

i hope you get well soon.

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

So you have the single piece chassis then as the losi shocks didnt come with the three piece chassis with the kick up plate. Kyosho shocks did and is stated in the manual.

[isobarik]

Nope i have the three piece but i dont think they can be all wrong since Joel johnosson when hi place his ZXR in in the final at basildon used losi shocks and green front pink rear springs.

The zxs singel piece used green front and pink rears so it cant be all wrong .....

Ive a clay setup but am unsure what shocks were used when the driver beat Masami for the Japanese nationals. When you get the car made up i should have found the set up sheet and will update you but they did use kyosho shock oil.

[Skidrow]

Hello to everyone here.

Ema :Thank you for your kind words.Alfonso Lolli was kind enough to help us last year in Bologna.We had booked tickets for this year also but had some troublesome dentist operations that made me cancel.We still have open tickets left from that so let me know when there is a similar event.We might have something arranged.

Iso : Yes the main influence is the Skid Row band (you are from Sweden-we like Europe,H.E.A.T. ,Hardcore Superstar and the likes)

James:The main set up changes I can remember are front springs to black and going up in shock oil,that counting in Mr Ralls,yours and Simon's views.If there is something important I forget please add here so that all people racing Lazers in similar conditions can benefit.

As for the Lazer parts I was asked about:

ZXS front gearbox : James yes it can be made again.For the people that have not seen it,there were two incarnations made for James car.The first one had two separate plastic top parts and the second one a one piece alloy top part.The two lower parts are common for both types. I hope James posts some pics of it as I am off base right now so that you can see for the amount of work it takes to make them for yourselves.

ZXS rear lower gearbox parts can be done .Pm sent to James and Iso.Anyone else interested,pm me.

ZXS-Evo kick up plate can be made .Pm sent to Iso.

[isobarik]

just have to show you even if its not finished yet.

Skidrow the front kickup plate can you make it in brass or steel ????

As per Manolis email please see the first gearbox on my car. Its a work of art. Its a four piece instead of the five piece.:thumbsup:

Looks awsome welsh ....:thumbsup:

i wish the my wallet had no limit but it does so i think that I will order the rear gear sides and the kickup plate in brass if its possible.

I think the brass weight on the front will make the car nose dive more than it already does. The rear gearbox sides in brass may be a better idea than alloy if Manolis can do.

[Skidrow]

Thank you for helping out James.I think that the rear gearbox halves in brass are feasible.I will update you with more info ASAP.

[Welshy40]

Guys,

Ive asked this before but lost the answer. Is there a cup that covers the shock top screw nut as i cant find it anywhere and need a set. Cheers.

[adam lancia]

Couple of quick questions guys.

How much lateral play is the top shaft supposed to have when assembled with the ZX-R slipper assembly with the slipper pads (no double one way on the top shaft, just the one way for the front belt on the top shaft)? I seem to have a little more than 1mm lateral play from the entire assembly. The top shaft bearings are sliding that much in the transmission housing. If possible, could someone take a picture of a "correctly" assembled top shaft? I'd really appreciate it! I have finally got a little time today to go through it since the last time I ran it (after I completely disassembled it of course...) and I can't remember how I had it together... Thanks in advance!

Edit: Does anyone know who made this top shaft? Is it a Lazer piece or for one of the TF-series touring cars? Thanks :thumbsup:

it should go something like this

shaft
bearing
pulley
shim
pulley
bearing
adjustment screw

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

Iso,

no the screw that goes through the shock tower at the top and a nut bolts it to the tower and then there are plastic cups that cover the nut and when the top of the shock is mounted the look is much better. Imagine a mug with no handle and a hole at the bottom and thats what im after to cover the nut.

I had the same problem and solved with different shims configuration.
I checked everything multiple times and my conclusion is that if you mount the top shaft assembly as per instructions you have that play.

[Welshy40]

If you follow the instructions you will have play. I ended up by using a ball bearing in place of the rather large alloy washer in the centre and this got rid of all slop and minimised the belt from shredding by quite some time. This was with the hyper and standard layshafts.

What body is that ?
It looks similar to the Zx-r but has an integrated gear cover :confused:

[isobarik]

I bought it from an guy in sweden that used to drive for kyosho.
Any way he was clearing some stuff out and found this he say that he got it from kyosho back in the days so i´ll guess its an kyosho body but not really sure.

Basicly it is an zxr body with an inbuilt gearcover its not an wasp since the wasp body look more like the hunchback.

When you have an body and an gearcover on the car this is what it looks like that makes it funny.


mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

Iso,

Its not Kyosho and yes its good. I had a couple of these in the early 90's. Definately get Kamtec to do one, and that will resolve all issues people have with no gear covers.

[isobarik]

Welsh you can clearly see that its no wasp.

yeah i think i will email keith about it .

Since the cutting linas are clearly visiable and the body is uncut it should be an easy job for keith to do it.

[Welshy40]

Rings a bell here, quite possibly. I had Wasp and another that resembled this but the name I could'nt remember. This was far superior to the wasp design as the wasp design damaged the spur due to its design but this was a better solution. Great design and looks very good. :thumbsup:

[isobarik]

Have emailed kamtec about it, i hope to get an reply soon.

I think it looks kind of cool since it looks like the original with an gearcover but it aint.

welsh the suspension arms (wishbone ) are in the post system so i´ll guess they will soon come here, i hope they do look good.

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

Cool looking forward to seeing the wishbones and dont forget kamtec has got a tomcat shell already and another shell for me that hes got to do first and then game on.

[isobarik]

Welsh since i handed my zxr over to him ages ago it seams its the first in line i hope it wont take that long for them to be made as my zxr and gearcover.

But then again my zxr was not the best object to begin with since it was cut and it missed an window due to owner before think it lacked some cooling i guess.

Anyway you look at it the future is looking brighter regarding avaliablity of different bodies for the lazer.

mvh isobarik

[Welshy40]

Iso,

I know and that was the plan from the very start. It has taken me a long time to get this happening, and it all started with Fibre-lyte in 1991. It took time to find the correct shell maker (the one in Spain I was intending to use closed), and everything else but my intention was to make it easier for every single Lazer ZX/ZXR/ZXS owner to be able to still run these cars without the worry of not having any spares readily available.

Now its gonna be fun on the track. Its nice seeing the hard work pay off.:thumbsup:

I will contact Keith today and see what he says. Im in need of a few things as well but lets hope he gets these sorted. I know he was having problems with your ZXR as it wasnt perfect.

I wouldnt. The some of the cars strength is in the rigidity of the chassis and top deck. The csc is more flexible and can cause issues. Why not buy the items in stages so its more affordable for you.

Hi Ema,

Take care.. Good Find also!:thumbsup:

Yes, I remember that French guy ... his username on http://www.vintage-rc.org/forum is Aurélien ;).
His decals were quite expensive but really nice .... I'm just waiting the right Zx-r body repro for them :woot: !

[Ema]

Saturday was a lucky day for me, I was able to find a Zx-r undertray (original Kyosho :thumbsup: ) and an aftermarket Zx-r body :thumbsup:.

The undertray will be definitely used in my shelf queen and the body probably in my runner because details are not really accurate but the lexan is thick.

However looking closer at the aftermarket body there are really some crazy things that I'd like to share:
1 - The body shell is really tall compared for example with the TBG repro
2 - The body shell has some really strange cutting lines
3 - The body mount that sit over the rear shock tower support is really smaller than the kyosho one

I really think that this body was used with a non Lazer chasis however I did not have any other information.

Here are some photos ;) !!

I think that this shell is actually an upgrade for the Lazer 2000 model or alpha.

The battery goes into the chassis on one side (the left hand side if looking at the front so kindof makes sense where the lines are on the unpainted shell so that you do not need to take the shell off to change the batteries.

The undertray looks almost identical to the Kamtec zxs so is this identical to the ZXR shell you already have. Looks very much like a remold job so is not an original. Still, good find. :thumbsup:

[isobarik]

Under tray has them sideslopes so i think it is an original tray does it has a place for the doublesided tape in the front ????

but the body was wierd great find dough...

The downfall on the chassis is no servo pot hole so you have to glue a servo to the chassis so opted out and used the three piece chassis. Looks nice. Looks better with the black yoko wheels. Looks nice.

[Welshy40]

Yes :thumbsup: !!!

The shell is for a beginners car, not the ZXR or RR as the side cutting lines prove that as its got a battery slot to slide the battery in and out so guess this was an upgrade from the Alpha to look more like a ZXR.

[isobarik]

That funny cut out line why is it so long back it cant be for an alpha the motor sits there and the battery should stick out of the chassi got to be for something else. There is some wierd stuff going on there ....

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

I think this was an upgrade for the Alpha and 2000 (which was an Alpha) and the shell came with a gear cover as well. I have done a bit of homework on this and for a short period this was available but wasnt in the shops long.

The shell appears not to be an exact perfect fit hence why the slot is where it is so the battery can be replaced without the need of taking the shell off. Weird it is and appears to be no logic behind it either.

Keith at Kamtec said that hopefully the tomcat mold will be finished by Friday. Then he will spend a bit more time on the ZXR shell. It made sense as the tomcat was new and undamaged and the ZXR is a bit so more time is needed to make the mold perfect. Still good news.

[isobarik]

Welsh I havent got an replies from keith about my racetech body have you asked him if he wants it ???

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

Iso, hold fire on that as he has a lot on for a small bisiness. Once he has done the tomcat shell and hopefully the zxr shell thats a bit damaged and still causing issues he can finish that so we have a few to choose from. He should have time for one more. Maybe then if interested you could send to him. I will keep chasing him for updates.

Iso yes he is interested and will make it for you and he will sort you out with a couple of free shells plus the original back. But as you know it takes time.

I would say that it is an zx-rr with for some reason geardiffs

the sport has as you say geardiffs but it also has kelron chassi and no slipper plastic shocks metall towers and an mechanical speedo/bracket

Yes, I quote Iso :thumbsup:.

This buggy is definitely a Zx-rr with gear diffs.
There are a lot of things that confirm that:
- hyper clutch
- long upper deck with shorter motor plate
- ultimate shocks
- moulded wing
- front and rear shock towers

@ sparrow.2
Really a nice car :thumbsup: , for sure 100% kyosho original.
Do you have also the original body ?

[trd179v]

No Way... I wouldnt put stock in that being an absolutely, Postitively 100% GENUINE ZXR. If it was a ZX or ZX Sport with the ZXR Parts (Probably off Ebay) I would beleive it. If he comes foward to defend his claim, then thats a different story..

The car showed by sparrow.2 is not a Zx-r, it's a Zx-rr; the latest version of Lazer based on the Zx platform.

If you want you could check these supplements to the Zx-r manual in order to verify yourself ;).

[Welshy40]

Gear diffs are great. I made the UK indoor national finals A with gear diffs in my ZX my tub chassis ZX (OK was basically an ZXR) and was rather good. I found it better on high grip surfaces. I used a 14 Single Shark Attack (at that time my motor sponser) with 23 pinion, 100 spur and was much quicker on the infield than most of the cars. I normally used a 10 double corally on the same ratio.

I still think that this is one of the best and most fun I have ever had with a buggy. It is so much fun to drive and thats half the battle finding the car that ticks all the boxes.

[trd179v]

Wow Ema. You Even drew me a picture. LOL. Thank you. Too many things wrong with that lazer.. Wrong Wing(Not Molded) Looks like a Kyosho Burns wing, Wrong Shocks--Probably Losi,and Gear Diffs instead of Ball Diffs:confused:And what about his Missing Body? Best wishes to him. He still hasnt come foward for any description..At all. Where he got it? What parts he built it with? What did he do with the Ball diffs? Thats the best part of the Transmission! 30-50 US dollars each!Market price. I remember with the Lazer first came out in the states everyone was making a ZXR Clone!
Good luck to hime anyways.:)

Good grief I had no idea my add would cause such uproar :woot:

I can say one thing... I have absolutely no idea about the car. I picked it up exactly as it is in a job lot sale off someone clearing out his garage with the intention of sticking it on a shelf and giving it the occasional prod.

There is no bodyshell to go with it but everything else on the car apart from the front shock mount/gearbox half looks like it has hardly been run.

As for the car being a fake?!?

The shock are certainly not Losi. Been running Losi shocks since 93 and they look nothing like those.
The wing is deffo original kyosho as I remember wanting that exact wing as a kid and having to make do with the cheap fastrax one cause my pocket money wouldn't strech :thumbsup:

Now does anyone want to buy this thing or do you all want to nerd over it some more :D :p

Your Kyosho story really hit me. I personally raced the Avante's. I kicked their Butt! The owners were soo MAD!:mad:They shouted F#$% Avante! The engineering of my Kyosho Kept winning races. I beat all of the Losi and Associated. Now this was 1990 ok? So losi buggy at the time was I think a JRX-2.What a Joke! The Yokomo was not impressive. I raced at Balboa Park in San Fernando Valley. Its gone now. Many of the California Tracks have shut down. The Best one now I absolutely love:wub is the Camarillo Raceway! 3 Tracks over there. You have the On Road Gas, Next door is the Dirt Oval, and In the Middle Section is the Jumps and turns. I turn Mashall when I can to help out. For my ZX I had the Lazer Bearing Upgrade Kit!:thumbsup: It was so fantastic and my buggy I still have in storage from 1990. I think I put in a 9 turn in it later with NO PROBLEM! I raced novice class many times because I was new. GPM alloy parts were a fantastic Upgrade at the time:drool:. After that I got the TOP SHAFT to make the buggy perform more responsive.

I think that http://www.fastrax-rc.com is the first place where you can look ;).

However keep in mind that the fastrax wheels have a different offset and made your car a little wider.
I tryed a set of Dish weels (FAST0150 and FAST0151) and my car was a little to wide in the rear (however they fit and they look good).

Guys,
I am so Mad at My Self:mad:. I just missed an auction for a Kyosho Lazer Top Shaft on Ebay Auction#160445081487. Look at the Top RIght Corner, and its the Peak Performance Top Shaft. Is there anything compatible? The whole lot sold for 10 Dollars!:mad:.I know I cant win them all. Any suggestions? Anything compatible?
Thank you

Hi Guys,

I am trying to rebuild my Lazer ZX-R, but i've hit a bit of a problem. The shafts that holds the front wishbones to the car (Part # LA-20) have bent badly.

I can't find any replacements and i'm wondering what everyone here does? Do you all just have spare packs of LA-20's or are there spares from other models that will fit and will be easilly available?

Regards, Nick

Trial and error. I would buy ones for the zx5 or the 2wd and see which is closest. If too long just cut down to size.

Nick, goto your local hobby store and take one with you and they should sell steel bars approx 1 metre in length, approx £1.20 a metre buy one that is the approx diameter and cut to size, that's what I did as the only place I could find selling the originals was in the states...

[inferno_4wd]

Hi,

Thanks for all the advise. I checked out all the manuals for current 1/10 models from Kyosho website, the Lazer and Ultima shafts are too short, however i have found that the DBX/DRX rear shafts are 3mmx56mm so can be cut down to 50mm for Lazer ZX-R.

However, i ended up buying metal rod. Unfortunately there are NO model shops where i live (Jersey Channel Islands) and as such only had B&Q, smallest rod they do was 4mm Dia, but god bless eBay! Three 3mmx30mm stainless shafts for £2.50, bargain!

Anyway cutting a long story short, 3mm Stainless rod from ebay works a treat, just dremmel to 50mm lengths.

Hope this helps someone else having the same problems. Once again, thanks everyone for your contribution, much appreciated.

I'll post some pics of the rebuild, hopefully this week, i'm so pleased with it, it was a great car, and will be again :thumbsup:

[rondoolaa]

glad you got it sorted, i would have sent you some out if you couldnt get any, i cut loads from 1 rod, also i got a rod 1mm-2mm smaller in circumference so they are not as tight a fit as the originals...

[trd179v]

I just thought it might be better for my Kyosho Lazer ZX to have a Top Shaft.

Im kindof confused. Does your zx have the standard layshaft with 100t spur gear with alloy balls all around as if yes its most probably the best slipper you can have for the lazer

Not worth it. Fibrelyte do an exact copy at a fraction of the cost and is a lot stronger than the kyosho version. You most probably can still buy the original through kyosho in your country for a third less as japan does keep stock of stuff like that.

[isobarik]

Still cool but is that original on the evo ??? to be able to move the batteries ???
I have just not sean one before.

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

Guys this will not work with any Lazer modwls except the ZXS. The ebay seller was misinformed.

Yes this was made but prefer my own design. The brace goes under the chassis which put me off. Still kyosho may still have stock for a lot less.

[isobarik]

Welsh
Hope soo since it was ridiculus over priced you get 2 chassis from fiberlyte ok you get one law 20-1.....with the chassi but they can be bought from manolis for an example ...anyway those brass reargearbox sides should look awsome against the blackcarbon build it damn build it .....:woot:
Welsh do you have some conections with kyosho japan ???? Have you heard anything from keith about the zxr and tomcat....
Still have the racetech body uncut and clear will send it to him as soon as the zxr are ready/finnished

getting those brass lovelies soon. Yes ive still got connections in Japan and will ask if they have in stock and will let you know as well as the cost. But it wont work as we use lipo now so i would advise designing one for your chassis as im unsure if my tray design will fit. All my car stuff is in a place i cant get to at the moment to see.

Nope didnt ask Keith but will when hes back from hols. Ive been a bit side tracked as ive just moved and decorating been a bugger.

Fibre lyte have had my originals so at least you dont have to worry about spares being unavailable..

[Welshy40]

Well I am now up for selling my new built and never used prototype Lazer ZX-S with of course a new unused shell and undertray. Also the original instructions that came from the factory which are A4 sheets of paper stapled together. The box that it came in was just a normal cardboard box which I have no more but was not a box that the sold models came in.

The car is blue bling with blue gearbox and motor plates including titanium tie rods and stainless steel silver screws throughout. Also the diffs are protos including the outdrives and ujs and carbon fibre rear tower mount to go with carbon fibre gearbox sides. Its a unique car.

I will be posting on ebay if no one wants it here.

Im after £750 which is to your door worldwide. When I place on Ebay will be £20 higher. PM and supply your email address for pictures.

[Gaz_Stanton]

Im after £750

:woot::woot: :lol::lol::lol:

Thats cheap considering two months back a standard off the shelf kit (one of 300 made) went for £1275, so grab a bargin and get one of only a few (possibly 10) ever made.

[Welshy40]

The Lazer ZX-S Prototype comes with the original manual, original bodyshell uncut, original undertray uncut, and a new unopened stickers packet which are more rare than the car.

[isobarik]

Nice looking good welsh ...

OK I just walked in the door from downtown Tokyo and there is a new Kit version Kyosho Lazer. Its called the Kyosho Lazer ZX5-Cobra. It looks like and EP Fazer slapped together like a RtR:thumbdown:version with the stamped plastic/nylon. Probably buy all the upgrades from 3 racing. Also saw the new Kyosho Lazer TF6. I think its on a Lazer Platform. Also saw a Xray Nt1 "Raycer" Edition<--what it said on the Box.LoL.

That's the problem Ema, I'm not sure. I *think* I got it from what used to be my LHS when I was attending university in Illinois but I'm not positive. If that's the case, I've had it for 7 years and just noticed it now.....

[isobarik]

i would guess that its old from the optima mid series of cars since the first ones had alu chassi ..........just an thought..........

mvh Isobarik

[adam lancia]

I don't know, they all had the same shape at the front of the chassis. In over 20 years I've never seen one like this, and my former LHS is the one that got all of the Kyosho stock after Tower Hobbies and Kyosho split ;)

La219 is the front hub and knuckle arm for the zx-5. The front castor block looks identical to the zx-s and the knuckle arm is the same but with an extra ball joint hole. I havent tried it as i havent broken the prototype ones yet.

Maybe you could get Martin to make the ZX-S chassis as a one piece with the kickup/castor included?

That would look very cool :)

[Welshy40]

I tried the zxs chassis and it lacked something and did flex quite a lot, more than the three piece, so ended up with a three piece and the only carbon fibre kick up plate. Still i agree he is an artist and will ask when ive sorted out the weight distribution properly.

If your talking about my old ZX-S its already on ebay. New unused and for sale. Made as a back up but never run and a prototype as well so rare as rare can be. Also i still run my other ZXS and have updated it big time and goes like stink. All parts are custom made or from Kyosho Japan direct (I still have a few contacts). I feel the performance is better than the new cars. The tomcat shell is being updated slightly on the mold and then kamtec will sell. Web site is below. They already do the ZX-S shell and thats a stunner.

Hello i am new to this forum.. and found it by a coincident...

I have te last 10 years or so driven fuel cars..
and now there has become a chance for indoor driving very close to me and winter is coming up. so i found my old Lazer ZX-R and testet it a bit.. and forun it still to be fun.. I used to drive this in the mid 90s in NM (Norwegian Championship)..

So the last week i have been looking all over the web for pages and parts...

Incoming soon and payd for is.

LAW-7 and LAW-1 (fr+Rr)
and LA12, LA13 belts

I also orderd the optima gallop body and under cowl... before i discoverd the kamtec page here.......

Here are som pictures taken today before the rebuild is started...
I have quite e few parts for it... but it seems i have to take a trip to my parents house and look for the original box...(stickers and parts) and user manual with part numbers....
there should be wishbones, wing, diffhousing and some other parts there..

The home made shock towers have now done its job, and new ones wil be fitted..

A friend of should also have his Lazer some where. i am gooing to ask if he wants to sell it. since he have lost interest totally.. its an ZXR with many options from ZX-RR

Is the only and best plaace to look ebay? and check weekly for new parts?

Let the rebuild start :)
Do you want to be kept posted?

best regards...

[Welshy40]

I would advise getting carbon fibre shock towers from fibre lyte in the uk and the strongest is the half circular handle type front tower as this strengthens the front gearbox as well.

Www.radiocontrolzone.com has a lazer zx/zxr thread worth looking at and has setups and solutions to almost any issue you may have. Shells are now available. Ebay is the best way to go for this car unless someone here has items.

It's a shame that we can't persuade Fibrelyte to do a group-buy on the tub chassis. I think we'd all put down if the price was right, I certainly would and I don't even have a ZXR at present lol.

Welshy, is the tub chassis the same weight distribution as the mk2 or was it different layout (ie short motor plate/long top deck or like the zx/zxrmk1)?

[moth898]

I contacted Stephen Walton at fiberlyte, he said he had a few requests recently about the tub chassis. He doesn't know where the mold is but I'm sure if enough people show interest he'll make the efort to find it.

The Mk1 is the Lazer zx chassis and that had the longer top deck, and in my opinion the better layout. The Mk2 wasn't as good on really high grip surfaces as the weight balance wasnt as good.

I will have a chat with my main man Stephen at Fibrelyte and see if he can locate my original design. I hope he can find it as it was a work of art and I did alter the weight distribution slightly and bettered the handling of the car. I will buy it if he can find it.

For you guys though the best is the solid uncut chassis tub for your Lipos.

LA-26 can be hard to combay these days

The way i see it is that

1. You can look at ebay and see if they pop up and hope they will be rather ok in price.

2. Or you can order them machined from www.dynotech.com (http://www.oople.com/forums/www.dynotech.com) i have done that looks awsome and are super nice.

Indoor setups are a bit vaigue at the moment due to lipos and 225 grams weight loss. However ive got the low down on a starting point. Im going to find my info then post it. I would recommend using associated ball joints all over as this makes maintaining and set up so much easier.

12 turn motor brushed i would go 22 or 23 pinion with the standard 100t spur. What shocks are on your buggy? Do you have the longer ujs and use the inner castor block hole? Do you have a 7 degree castor block?

At the moment i only have a complete sett og the original LA27 with only one hole..

i only have one of the block with 2 holes...

I have 20-23 pinion.

I use the original Kyosho "gold" shocks. i have soft medium and hard springs for them. but i am thinking of changing them to something better. any recomandations? Team asso? Do you have the asso ball joints part number?

I got my belts from toughracing.com yesterday and they look great..:thumbsup:
Hope they dont snap....

Those shocks are fine. Replace the seals with either blue mip or if you can find them blue traxxas. Id use two holes in the front and one in the rear for out doors and vice versa indoors. Id try silver front and green rear associated springs. 40 front, 30 rear as a starting point.

I used traxxas trx1 shocks with 2 holes in the front with 60wt and schumacher yellow springs and 3 holes in the rear with 40wt and schumacher white, car almost flat to the deck with zero shock spacing inside with wishbone holes on the furthest outwards, inner hole on castor block with longer ujs. On carpet this kept me in the top 12 in the uk for seven or so years.

Thanks! it seems a good starting point for some personal adjustments.
I realy like this thread, good respons and great info!!

I was at my new local Kyosho shop (just startet) just for kicks i ask if he could check some things for me..

LA-26 he told would take 2 weeks........ and the cost was 95,-Nok about 9pound or euro.. I ordered 2 sets (just to check if they can get them) and shipping costs..

But what surprised me was that Kyosho Norway had 10+++ of LA-30 In stock...
i orderd 4 sets just in case... nice to have in spare

so i am gonna bring the part list and check what is available...

[Welshy40]

best place for knowledge is the thread below. Most of my knowledge is on here and i've included all my redevelopment as well. I do check the site once a month but tend to be on line here more often. Read through as every page is worth a look and be patient as there are a lot of pages but you will find a lot of good info that will help you out.

Thanks embarrassed now..... i missed it in my manual over "optional" parts.....

[Welshy40]

Wesh, I just ordered all the #2 parts you designed from fibrelyte. I ordered the chasssis without the battery slots, I'm going lipo saddle's. Any tips?

Sorry Dude, forgot to write to you. I would advise putting in my Lipo Tray (ive made one in two separate parts via fibrelyte) if you cant get the B44 brass one to fit.

I would advise on a softer setting unless you can balance the car better with more weight - you need roughly one hundred grams on each side of the car under the cells to get it exact to the Nicad/nimh cells weight.

Servo may need to be moved inboard (if its not the ZXRS chassis) a bit more and pics and info is on radio control zone on this mod. It also aids the balancing. I would also advise on the ZX steering plate as this stopped bump steer totally and made a big difference on cornering at speed on all surfaces.

Hope this helps, just ask if there is anything else.

I did something today...

disassembled the hole acr and cleaned all the parts, including diffs and put inn with new "jamin`s" diff grease... just have to wait for the new ball bearings before i can adjust them...
ordered inn a sett of rubber sealed for the ZX-S as far as i could tell they should be the same size..

a few pictures...

Iwas back at my local Kyosho store today, to check some more parts.

And we found at that in stock where: (the ones we checked today)
It wold be nice to get a complete "parts" list. but the system you can only check by part number...

LA-22 (orderd 2 sets)
LA-29 (orderd 2 sets)
LA-59 (orderd 2 sets)
LA-32
LA-33
LA-17
LA-30(already orderd) togehter with the LA-26

Also bought the UM-129 4.8mm ball

And that there was 10+++ of each in stock. I had the impression that these parts where hard to get...

But on the other hand i could not get OTW-10 or 39655 (steering/unicrank/servosaver) the only had some replacement made in aluminium that costs about 30Pounds/38Euros..

Anyone know of something els that would fit? My arms have cracks in them, the are not broken yet...

Wow, seems you are really lucky ;), original Zx-r shells and undertrays are really extremely rare (and probably worth a lot of money for collectors :thumbsup:).

mvh Isobarik
I think those are Tamiya DF03 Rims. They are nice Hex rims. Almost only 5 star version besides HPI and Fastrax. I like them. They give your Buggy some Bling.:thumbsup:

[isobarik]

The rims are on several different buggies i just like spoked thats why i got them.

On this evo i will have yokomo rims but not with the 4 screws since i have located some suzuki ( with he big nut ) hubs and i have like 110 pars of yokomo rims :D

think it will look rather cool.
