When is the prototype zx-r tub gonna be ready for mass production? And do we have a rough price James?
Cheers

Well if it gets made this week and i get it and am happy then possibly will be readily available within two weeks. Also you get to choose your layout so if you have changes think them through carefully. Costs are going to be roughly at the moment but believe its going to be £120

Quick one guys. With the lazer zxr is the aim to try and push weight towards the front end? Looking at battery layout options I can run a shorty down the 4 cell side or a shorty or full stick pack across the back of the chassis like on the lazer alpha. I know on older tamiyas like the top force and astute they benefit from having battery moved forward as the tyre technology is much better and affords enough rear grip without the need to bias it all rearwards
Thanks Migs |

No as the car is super twitchy already so better to have mid ship equally balanced on both sides, ive found a good layout on my designed chassis at fibrelyte giving good feeling and balance and also my design now being made. If using stick packs best to go across the chassis rather than down one side.

Just rebuilt my lazer after it being in the shed since 1991 and going to give it a run out at the local indoor club which run on carpet . What I need some help with is how should I set the M3 nut on the drive on the side of the spur gear , am I right in thinking turn it tighter more drive to the front less tight more to rear ? I have to sets of gear box 1 with four Wavey washers. Or would I be better using the single small spring both have the slipper pads . Also how should I set the limiter nut on the other side . Have the instruction book still but it's not clear. Just don't want to trash the only two belts I have . Thinking of buying a 13t or maybe a 10t Brussless with lipo's . Any help would be great , going to be running on new lazer 5 wheels an Schumacher yellow mini pins . O and any recommend spur pinion I should look to run to save the belts. Thanks. Mark

Motor a 10t should be good and recomend basing your ratios on team novaks ratio chart online for the motors. Its a good starting point. On the one way i didnt like the hex nut with the allen key screw so use a normal nyloc nut reversed and screwed on almost tight so the silver oneway washer can move but not excessively. Slipper clutch is all depending on what one you have. Does yours have balls or sliipper pads. If slipper pads its down to what you prefer and yes tightening gradually so theres a fraction of slip whilst holding it down is what i set it whilst using a 10 double brushed. With the balls on the spur its not easy to get rught but grease and using the extra pad helps to give more torque to the wheels but is more suited for low grip tracks rather than high grip. I liked the washers but they must be bent before tightening as it makes a difference.

Thank you very much for you help it makes setting it up a bit Clearer. I think i must have Be able back in the day to set the slipper it has the pads (no balls) but its so long since I last ran it, I have just Forgotten. Now need to trim my new body shell kamtec lazer zxs it needs lots of work to fit but am sure it will be ok. And Choose a esc and lipo plus a charger and going for a 10t motor. Will let you kow how I get on. Cheers. Mark

Ok guys an update.
Chassis has been made, asd per my previous picture, now a rough cut before the finishing off. Holes have been drilled and cell holes now to come along with the motor section cut away and the corner side wall hole being drilled as well. Proto will have a 24mm high side wall so hope its not too high as my original first chassis had 23mm. FYI you can have the chassis cut whichever way you want and for shelfers you can have it made exactly like in the pictures obviously it will be finioshed properly before you get it. For shelfers the motor cut away wont really be needed, well in my opinion anyway. As you can see the lipo tray design has been cut and put on the chassis for you to see what it will look like. Also the shock tower is what i will be using and as you all know have modified the original design with more strength at the bottom strut. This one has been changed to fit my design front gearbox that Oosh123 made for me. Then the last item the little brackets, ok I am having a few made but will not be made as they are difficult to make. Once I have tested I will be selling with bearings and the screws and bits need to basically fit to your gearboxes, ok after ive made a manual on how to do it so all can then race without the fear of snapping the rear belts. Let me know your thoughts on this.

I like it, but I would like a little option. Make a few more holes for the battery position. A couple more front and back of the one you have already might give a good tuning option. p.s. just for laughs...the dead guy oosh, has a new job. I pissed myself laughing when I saw it posted on linkedin

Ok, its just being finished off but all cutting and drilling has been done to my specification, but as mentioned its down to you guys to decide exactly what you want so be sure you get it right when ordering. I should be getting on Friday.
Price will be £120 for the chassis, obviosuly not including P&P. Once I am happy with the build and fitting I will give the go ahead to Fibrelyte, and if all goes to plan that should be on Monday / Tuesday.

Looking good James, how come you went with cell cut outs on the chassis? Just curious, is it for fitting the Lipo weights?
I'm definitely after one but I'd just like the ZX-RR layout, what would be the best way to order this? Should I just send my ZX-RR chassis over to Fibrelyte? |

When I got all my big results and gained my drive for my sponsers I had the 1700SCRC cells in and had the car dialled with those, so trying to get the setup as close to the original I am now using zeppin brass weights designed for cell holes which slot in perfectly, then I add a brass plate from Rudebitz ontop and then the Lipo tray sits ontop (on both sides) to keep the brass attached to the chassis and the Lipo sits ontop of that. This makes the weight of the lipo pretty close to the weight of the scrc so means I can get the car to handle more or less the way I had it in the 90's.
