Not unless you are using these arms on an optima mid with aluminum chassis.. tell me how can one break the OT-122 chassis, getting crushed by a full scale tank doesn't count !Hmm which gives me an idea, I seem to go through undertrays really quickly, how about a tub aluminum chassis made for lipos, anyone ? Both for the Lazer and LWB Mid of course.

A carbon tub for the Mid would be awesome. You could have fibrelyte make you a tub for a mid based on the new ZXR tub but it would mean having to use a ZXR or tomcat shell to work with the shape of the sidewalls. If you lay a Lazer chassis over a LWB mid chassis you will be surprised at how many holes line up
Hmmm that gives me some ideas for the 21st Century Mid ....

No carbon for me, I want to make it out of tough aluminum since all modern cars these days use aluminum too, and it would be cheaper also.

Hi Lazer-fans,

I am still looking for a finned aloi-motorplate for my Lazer.
I know, there is a special "wanted" area in the oople-forum, but
I want to try it here.

If someone should have such a finned-motor-plate an would sell it,
I would realy pay a very good price.

I have searched on ebay and other places in the web since end of december, but I had no luck

Hopeful regards
Ralf

I had a similar solution on my ZXR back in the day but it was just a straight swap using a Mid front hingepin bracket. Worked a treat.

How do you stop the pivot pins from coming out?

Same way the zxs pivot pins are held in.

Hi,

this will be my second Lazer, should be a ZX-RR and not a ZX-R like in the discibtion. May be it is a bit overpriced. Perhaps I can sell the ESC.

I never had a problem as the front kick-up always seemed to keep them in place, might not be the same now with the extra power available today.

Hi,

some of my ball ends (LA 43 are broken). Are there any other ball ends with better quality than the original, may be from associated or an other factory, that would fit ?

Ralf

Nice work, shouldn't there be an angle on the kick-up plate?

[HKS_TRD]

Nice work, though the deck supports are just the same as the regular ones for a mid?

I love those OTW-9 Battery Posts, any chance you are going to make any more?

[alcyon]

I have asked the plastics supplier to make 3 sets of white arms for the ZX. I have simplified the arms and made one smaller oval opening , so the arms are a lot more beefier than stock LA26. Should be ready next week.
One set each for Welshy40, isobaric and then me. I also got a alloy OT-98 upper deck mount for optima mid made up in A6061.

Yeah, I do that in a panel bender.

Ok yesterday i had a bad day racing and only real issue i had were the zx knuckle arms disconnecting from the wishbone as the kingpins vibrated free and irritated me big time. It turned out after i changed the setup that the tyres i bought were a bad batch and was the reason why I was drastically slow, but using the practice tyres from saturday was quicker in the final so car was not as easy to drive due to my set up changes, never the less car was superb and on practice day was one of the quickest overall.

Now the good news, even though my event was crap i managed to make tenth overall in the Maritime raceway 2013/14 championship and am quite happy that, especially when im driving a vintage. A lot of thanks goes to Alcyon for his patience and making the layshaft, Nuclear Rc (Dave Belsten) for his diff & thrust grease & super glue plus his input in how to better my setup, Fibrelyte & Kamtec for their continuous support.

Now to dismantle my gearbox and test this layshaft in a normal gearbox and update Alcyon on whats needed (not much) to be done to finish it so he can start making for all.

Thanks my man. Welshy40 I need your help. I have contacted Kamtec wanting to buy 2 LWB mid undertrays, 2 wings, and a ZX-S body, but ever since they heard I was from Malaysia they seemed to have stopped responding. From the reply I received from them regarding shipping cost they may have thought at first, I lived in the U.K. Could you talk to Kamtec and ask them to talk to me ?
Also if anybody needs to talk to me about parts or anything my whatsapp or viber chat number is +60162111906.

Ok, will do today, if it comes down to it i can always post on to you.
