Panic Wow!!! Looks almost identical to my original. Nice work, have you tried it yet? More of a balanced feel. Also is the servo in correctly (looks like you dont have the servo plate on) as the servo fits within the undertray and the servo horn almost touches the belt. Also the red wire going over the top can go under the top deck as there are two slots on the top deck close to the esc specifically for you to tie wrap the wire to the top deck in between the belt. Still looks good and i understand why you redesigned the front tower, so top notch!!! Great job

Hi guys,
just came back from some vacation ...

Seems that now your Lazer is finished and ready to race !! And it also looks really super :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: !! Definitely a great work !!

I really hope to have some free time in the near future in order to be able to build my zxr ...

Please let us know how it runs ;) !!

Bye

P.S. Are your running a 6.5 or a 5.5 ?

Id say a 6.5 would be the wise decision. When you upgrade to lipo you will see why.

Wise choice, makes life easier. Ive just sorted my zxs and finally managed to stop it from wheelying as well as rolling due to over grip. Im getting a few extra items made up for me and when fitted the pics will be posted on the petit website. I will put the link on when posted. Then its time to see how competitive it really is. Spurs, didnt think rw did 100 but schumacher do a 98 which does work but if you can find a 97 then just go down one tooth on the pinion.

are those the standard shocks that came on the zxr?
seeing that i'm only familiar with the zx5, how does the zxr differ from the zxs? :confused:

and is the zx-r the most "race-capable" of the series?
i saw a couple of lazer alphas and they looked to have mainly black plastic chassis & shocks (comparable to the lazer zx5 rtr in the market today)

Welshy40
03-08-2009, 01:20 PM
Those shocks are upgrades and better than the standard kyosho shocks. I think they are 3racing and almost the same except for a solid bottom on the shock body. I prefer this design to the protos i had.

The zx5 hubs, steering from the original and shocks were all developed for the zxs, funny tho that it made it onto the zx5. In my opinion the zxs is a better buggy on clay than the zxr was but i do agree with you that i prefer the zxr on carpet to the zxs as its easier to dial.

I think the alpha design was kindof used on the zx5 with cheap plastic parts for the basic kit. Its funny that kyosho got to design a better buggy one after the other then went backwards with the zx5. Pity.

hi welshy - how about the original lazer zx? how does that stack up against the zxr, zxs?
do u know if there's a place that lists the incremental differences between the zx, zxr, zxs?

Welshy40
04-08-2009, 12:34 PM
The zx could make an indoor carpet a final with ease, just so long as you replace the shock towers for carbon fibre or glass fibre. I put one into the top ten in the uk indoor champs with gear diffs (the only car there with them) and worked well.

The zx and zxr mk1 chassis batt positioning were fractionally further forwards than the zxr mk2. The zx had two top decks and gear diffs (which work better on high grip carpet tracks than the ball diffs) and the slipper clutch had balls on the spur and i admit i did like it as this did act like another diff and made the drive train smoother but also added weight to the layshaft. It also altered the way the car performed but that idea may be something that i will try in my zxs. The wishbones had webbing and made them much stronger evan though these very rarely brake due to the material used to make them. Also shock towers were alloy and fragile on the zx, also the steering plate was straight across and was prefered to the zxr which had angles at either end as it helped reduced bump steer to zero.

Other than that the rest of the zx/zxr/zxrr used the same hubs, wishbones,pivot pins,pivot holders,steering,gearboxes. Ok the zxrs had ball diffs and the mk1 had a two pad slipper pretty much the same as whats on the rc10 b4, and the mk2 had a plate on a single slipper pad so you can screw your spur gear on without messing the slipper adjustment, so much like the rc10 and rc10 b2. Shock towers did alter from the mk1 and 2 fractionaly.

Wheels and shells were also different.

I hope this makes sense. Pm me your email address so i can senf u pics of the zxs so u can see all the differences (which is ninety percent) from the zx and zxr.

Terry,

To the rescue again. Blimey I missed off quite a bit didnt I.

What do reckon though on the slipper system on the ZX being used now with the brushless motors. Ok so the layshaft gears may need to be bigger on one side to account for the 60/40 system. Im tempted to give it a go.

terry.sc
08-08-2009, 02:23 AM
Not sure about the ZX centre ball diff, but then I ran mine with the balls removed so it became a crude slipper as the diff sending all the power to the spinning front wheels wasn't the best design idea in the world. Fitting the reverse one way rear drive hub on the layshaft would also sort it, but obviously the cheap option was to leave the balls out.:woot:


I know the ZX-R should handle brushless, my runner has been totally reliable (ignoring accident damage!) with 10 - 12 turn brushed motors in it for some time now.

Terry the zxr slipper can easily handle a ten (mine had a 19 upto 23 pinion) and a nine turn but the problem is the slipper pad if old deteriorates and dies and the only replacement is associated pad as kyosho stopped making them and no stock is anywhere.

The centre diff can be finely tuned to give more power to the rear or front or equal and can be used as a slipper that wont wear out very quickly.

Well im trialing one soon and will update, once that is i have a new spur gear molded specifically to use the balls on an 87 spur.

Any ideas ?:confused:

Contact Stephen at fibre-lyte, and ask if he can dig out the design for the first carbon fibre tub chassis ever made for the ZXR (mk1 version) that was designed for James Instone in the early 90's. He should be able to find it, and it works like a dream on the car. I would recommend asking for the cell holes to be filled in if your going to use lipos, as it was designed with the original with cell holes in the chassis like a flat chassis.

Hope this helps. If you get no where let me know by PM and I will see what I can do.

terry.sc
12-08-2009, 07:07 PM

Ive just had a chat with them and its not that they dont have it, more that they dont have the time at the moment to look for the molds.

They will when they have some time look for me but as and when that is going to happen is another thing. These guys work hard and are always busy but they will look sometime soon (lets hope anyway).

Cost will definately be around the £120 - £150 mark. If you think its pricey then look at it this way, the chassis wont break and the bodyshell lifespan is x 4 as the chassis doesnt flex or break like the undershell.

Hehe just think if Jason Green hadnt stood on my ZX chassis and broken my top deck and esc the tub may not have been out as early as 93. Its sides were high to protect the esc and servo from people standing on the chassi when marshalling.

Rob,

the lazer looks much like a hopped up zx rather than a mk3. Firstly the slipper kindof gives it away as the mk3 had the spur attached via two screws much like associated used to do. Secondly the shocks are gold and option house and they i believe were not on the mk3, so looks like either a wasp top deck and either wasp or fibre lyte front and rear shock towers and could possibly be a different zx chassi with the cells fractionally further back. Also a cf zxr steering plate but would appear to be added at a later date. Looks great though and good to see the alloy pivot blocks so you shouldnt break that in a hurry as its one of the toughest to break.

Hehe why have you got a few la228?

I still have not had a delivery yet. Will let you know when i do. Also hope to soon post pics of my zxs with proto lipo cell trays. Its coming together, hope to soon have made out brass as well as the rear top deck mount. Also i think next week if everything goes well that we have cracked the strength issue for the la11 pulleys. I need to test a little while more but has not died on me so far. Thats what the spares are for, just in case we need another one for a mold. Once we can get the layshaft pullies correct then the diff gears will be next and the ones I will be testing are a different design and super smooth diffs making it easier to work on compared to the gritty diff design in the standard kit

Welsh what is the differance between the UMW305 and the LA118 material or design ???

Welshy40
06-10-2009, 04:55 PM
LA118 is a harder material where as UMW305 is a much lighter material. I use one of the lighter ones but the problem is if you over tighten the screw threads you wreck it as you kill the threads.

isobarik
07-10-2009, 05:24 AM
LA118 is metal is the 305 umw that also ???

mvh isobarik

Welshy40
07-10-2009, 07:22 AM
Ive kindof worked out why they have five parts (not four) as its supposed to give strength, and in some instances the brace on the top of the gearbox (the item that slots into the top of the top sections) is rigid and increases the front end strength but the weakness lies in the bottom two parts of the gear box as they have been milled out in the original molding so has basically taken the strength away from the sides. In fact the same for the top two sections but I have not broken as many of those so are good enough as they are. Also the rear gearbox is perfect as it is but I will before the Petit event have new gearbox bits for the bottom (still working on them) and top as well as the rear. These have the milled out areas filled in aiding in strength, as well as the front bottom gearbox end bits being reinforced as if the plate flexes the square screw hole sections snap off.

The kick up plate I may be able to locate one for you but its not going to be cheap. I understand that there is a new one unopened somewhere in Japan and I an currently trying to persuade the chap in question to part with it so will update you when I get him to say yes.

The other alternative is to make a plate, as long as you have the original and is bent just hammer it flat (except for the kick up part) and get an alloy specialist to make one for you. I would seriously think about using steel instead of alloy if you can.

Well I answered your question about the ZXS but as soon as I did you edited it. Still info is there for you. Hope this helps you out.

The slipper parts are both metal but I think one is alloy (the normal one) and the other is a much lighter alloy (whatever the metal was called - Yokomo used it on the YZ10 for the motor mount)

white la1 is a work in progress, dont forget my cars a prototype so has a few items that were pre production like the diff parts. Once im truely happy with the la11 molds we will make the diffs. On my diffs there are more balls than on the standard one and makes it super smooth and much more free. We will update very soon, possibly next week.

Mate, you really do crack me up. Stop making me laugh. I think Finland is a stunning place and one of the best place to hold the worlds. If i had the money (which i may have by then) and there were some free places available then i would seriously be tempted to do it with my zxs. I will be updating here and RCZ website with what i have done. Its now Lipo race ready except for the brass trays which are going to be made shortly.

The standard zxs chasdis and layout works well on clay so should be fast straight away but youll need spares which i may add are now being made by my friend and professional molder. The kick up plate is the item that is weak and getting a specialist machinist is the way to go to get made. Do you have a bent one ?

isobarik
10-10-2009, 11:33 AM

Well the carbon fibre parts have been copied by fibrelyte but the chassis is the three part one but they couldnt do the kick up plate. Ive also got kamtec to copy the shells as your aware and yes i will email you manuals as i have both.

The plate is weak tho and bends far to easily so a steel one will need to be made.

Also kamtec copied the gearcover as well for me

Nope, didnt think he did. I know he was associated in 93, and think he took a drive with Losi then in 95 so unsure if he drove losi, yokomo or was it Ttech with the predator (possibly that)

The ZXS was driven by a couple of Japanese drivers and a couple of US drivers as well then and did rather well if I recall. We did post the ZXS drivers in the radio control zone section somewhere where they made the A at the worlds.

I have the car action from that event and derek Furantani was in the finals and there are some pics of his car and the finalists and you can see kinwalds car black blue and yellow typical kinwald styling.

Any way he is not drivin an yokomo and the car has yokomo wheels as did derek and they are the only car that has the shock absorbers in front of the shocktower so you can clearly see that it is no yokomo.

No I dont. Craig Harris (Body Paint) used to but as I no longer live in the same town its a bit pointless, also he is a bit busy due to having a family.

I have given Custom Blitz (Blitz boy) my paint scheme that Craig created years back and he is copying the design for me from now on. He is not as good as Craig but then again Craig can paint the Mona Lisa if he wanted to as he is the most gifted painter I have ever come across. But Blitz Boy is not far off and is a really nice bloke to deal with, very professional and I would seriously recommend using him.:thumbsup:

Now belts for the zxs. I have available to me are 9 fronts and close to 40 rears, so let me know how many you want. The cost i cant confirm yet but shouldnt be that much more than what the original cost was but also includes postage costs to here and onto you.

Also everyones my bitch when it comes to the Lazer ZX / ZXR / ZXRS / ZXS buggies. You all have access to my improvements and designs and solutions to every conceivable problem. Soon i will add for the zxs when i am truly happy with it. The Petit event in January will give me more of an idea on what else i will need to do to complete my improvements.

I found the standard kit items very good so never upgraded. However RW did make some good stuff so is possible that its fractionally lighter or stronger so if you have the option on these get them as you know spares are hard to come by nowadays. Hope ive helped you out a bit.

Welsh just a thought you wanted to get rid of the servosaver and "incorperate" it with the steering , have you ever tried the 3 racing part in alu for the zx5??? samepart could be copied and solved. I was thinking of trying it in my zxr but then i have to change the location on the servo.

27-10-2009, 09:00 AM
Ive tried the Ultima RB type R servo saver as it fits, the zx5 doesnt. Its smaller as well and i feel is too big for the zxr and zxs chassis. Im currently sorting the main things first and will get onto doing a prototype mold using the original blue steering parts as a starting point, im aiming to put a v into it and fit a small spring and threaded screw to tighten but at the moment is just a design in my head.

By the way, your car is a work of art, nice work.

The ZXRS chassis I designed fits like a dream on the ZXR. Make sure its for the ZXRS as the ZXS one is a three part chassis (as you already know). I designed it for the mk1 ZX so if your chassis is mk2 then youll need a top deck as well. I cant remember what I cut away on the rear of the bodyshell under tray, but the shell fitted without any problems.

I may get a servo like that. I've gone blue big time on my ZXS and as the ESC is going to be blue I may as well get a fast servo in there with the same colour as well.

Team Atlas I have had dealings with years back and did email the chap about a year back and all they had were Ujs, nothing else for the ZXS. They couldn't manufacture any items . Gutted, but they did try their hardest for me.

29-10-2009, 06:25 AM
NIce think i will order an chassi, and an top deck and an motor plate in carbon since i have the mkII chassi. Would have been nice with an finned plate but to hard to get.

The blue bird i got was 0.10, 8kg or 122oz if you prefer. 28 dollars incl shipment to sweden cheap way cheaper then the futaba 132 i bought back in the days and faster/stronger too.

Them diffpulleys was not from atlas it was another supplier :thumbsup: and he had like 9 or so left and i took 4.

Shallpost pictures when i recive them.

I was thinking of building an track i have an area in the backyard that i could use its 40x25 meters and i was thinking of an all carpet/astroturf track :thumbsup: since i can get my hands on that material cheap. Time will tell its either that or an new garage:thumbdown:.

Just a word of warning about the Bluebird servos: they're junk. I picked up a pair of their higher spec servos for 10th scale offroad a while back. One didn't work straight out of the package. The other worked but wouldn't center and the end points were constantly different from one moment to the next. If you're just putting them in a shelfer then they'll work fine ;) otherwise don't bother with them.

Hey guys, how are the reproduction parts looking? ETA?

Just thought of another thing: has anyone looked at the arm mounts from the ZX5 to see if they would fit a ZXR?

Thanks!

Welshy40
29-10-2009, 02:42 PM
I havent tried but just looking at the items on the ZX5 I would think that it wouldnt work. Still the pivot blocks are on firbre lyte as carbon fibre blocks (I had them made) but you will need to drill the two inner chassis items and drill all the way through against the grain (which can be very awkward).

When you do go all the way through make the holes fractionally bigger so you can slide a brass tube in and glue into place. this should stop any damage happening to the CF item and then you will have quite a strong item when bolted onto the chassis.

adam lancia
29-10-2009, 02:47 PM
Yeah, I remember those but I'm looking for an easier solution. It'd be easier to use the ZX5 parts since they have a plastic insert that the hinge pins ride on. I realize these wouldn't work up front but the holes might line up for the rear suspension...

Adam,

stop making me laugh. Nerd im not, fanatical racer i am. Ive found the best car out there is the one you design around your style of driving and thats exactly what i did with the zxr. I took the car to the next level and boy does it shift. The lazer zx / zxr / zxs buggies are the best buggies and are built to last, and luckily i have helped a friend of mine by testing bits that he is now making for us so we can still keep driving them hard.

You can get either one but the not see through one will probably be cheaper.

The difference between the two is the response time. the seethrough one is a bit quicker but unless you are Masami you will not notice the difference.

One more thing

The 756 transmitter has an internal battery that needs changing every couple of years so that it remembers your settings.

If you are comfortable with soldering here is how to do it but I would try and find the battery with the contacts already attached.

Im also using the upgrade steering (the blue version) and the mold is perfect. Diff gears and zxs gearbox parts and spur gears for the zx slipper system but instead of 100t will be 90t for fitting into my zxs are being molded as we speak. Wishbones and my idea on a steering servo saver are still in the pipeline and will be made and tested when all else has been done. I think zxr rear gearboxes have been molded as well.

Sorry each ridiculus .

I think atleast we dont have to search for bodys and gearcovers.
Layshafts is kind of easy to make for an guy who knows how to do it, and oneways hm thats harder nut to crack i think the older sp dito fits on the lazer shall check, since i have one laying around.

Ever tried UMW409 ??? those are the reararms for the RB evo same as lazer rear heck the evo used the w-5063 also, anyway i have ordered those and shall try them carbon reinforced i´ll guess but time will tell.

I have bought some ZX5 driveshafts from 3racing and hopefully will reciving them so i can test them and see if they are any good.

Nope never tried them but still interesting information. Do me a favour, get me three of those gear covers (instead of two) LA111 and I will do a swap for the blue kick up plate when it arrives if thats ok with you.

yeah that will do ....shall get some more then.

3racing are cheap like 1:5 atleast here in sweden ...since 1 shipped 3racing driveshaft is like 1 LA-111 almost. and kyoshos are like 1 LAW12 thats alot of money. Atleast for me.

That Rb rear hub is SP-107V now a days, found a lot of them so i ordered some.

Cool well soon you will have an original to show him for the kick up plate and that makes me wonder can he make alloy versions of the two pivot blocks in the zxs chassis as well?

07-11-2009, 11:33 AM
By th looks of what he have made i think he can do anything but can you give me an LA-## so i can look at what the heck it is.

mvh Isobarik

aha found it its the same as LA30 but for zxs ...hm ..i´ll guess but first i will have to make hime want to make em.

Yup those two items are the parts - the one behind the front gearbox and one in front of the rear gearbox.

Also talk of being lucky I just managed to buy a brand new unused Lazer ZX set of wishbones for about £7 including international postage. Im now going to try and get these made as they are the strongest version of Lazer wishbones with the webbing.

mvh Isobarik

I dont need any. Thanks anyway. I think the same thickness as the chassis would be the way to go. I bent an alloy one easily so if he can do it in steel then yes but how much heavier would it be and the kick up is not that much.

09-11-2009, 07:20 AM
How much kick is it ??

Shall have him make it in steel and alu and after that we can go on the pivot blocks for the zxr and zxs.:thumbsup:

mvh Isobarik

Pivot blocks I will definately have, but the kick up I am unsure of so if you have a ZXS then you should be able to figure it out. I will work out the length from the flat to the highest point at the front of the plate to give you an idea so you can work out the percentage.

isobarik
09-11-2009, 02:05 PM
I recived an email from him regarding the pivot blocks for the zxs and the zxr and he said "no problem just send part or drawing"

So what shall i make him do first...hm ...zxs or zxr...

Lrp are good. Ive gone and bought an lrp sxx tc and put a 5.5 in with a starting 87/19 and seems fast. Ive also got a tekin rs pro and seems to be fractionally slower than the lrp. Still in brushed form not much out there can beat tekin, and since the 410 came out none ever burnt out when you over geared.

mvh Isobarik

You guessed correctly. The worlds first postal service has gone on strike in a large part of the country. I suppose the good thing that may come from this is a new company starting up and taking the business away from them. The majority of workers are people that never went to school so shouldnt complain about their wages as they are already over paid. They should be sacked and replaced by people that want to earn a living. They are lazy people and redundancies will be made in the near future and i hope all those striking idiots get it first.

Im guessing the gear cover is the surprise

11-11-2009, 01:01 PM
Are these the rear hubs, if so ive used all holes. Prefered the very bottom hole on the wishbone, and either middle or inner hole on the zxr. On the zxs im using the middle wishbone hole and middle hole top.

Tekin G11 pro
Futaba FM40 ( the brick type, old )
GM EVOII 15x2
Bluebird 617 dmg +HS servo
GM Panasonic scr black/yellow

Well it moved but hey them batteries are old and rubbish ha ha

it almost did an whellie .

I will try it tomorrov and then i shall put it on the shelf and convert it t standard MKII since it has never been run before everything is new and i have other lazers that i will use instead and they have the batteries more foward.
