I understand you can fit the same alloy part (upsidedown) to the rear, I have one in the box to do this but have neaver broken the original.

From an earlier post: Keith at glowplug (USA), (first to market with brace)
He suggests running a second (same front brace) upside down as leading brace in the rear, "we use the brace for the leading side in the rear upside down, and use longer bolts with lock nuts (traction tip: don't use any shims) Bolt length is 14 mm."


It is possible to buy a complete alloy set: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KYOSHO-LAZER-ZX5-ZX-5-BLUE-ALLOY-ARM-HOLDER-FULL-SET_W0QQitemZ6051677513QQihZ009QQcategoryZ34063QQr dZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

There are differences in the hole spacing between the arm holders, to allow the wishbones to be at different angles.........not sure how this works, ours is still set at the default setup.

I was told not to use alloy braces except the front outer one,as the chassis usually snaps in a crash.

i only use alloy holder at front outer:cool: at end of the day something has to give in a crash:rolleyes: ive only broke one rear plastic inner since ive had my lazer:(
