Sold it as my Mrs can no longer get in the bath due to now being diagnosed with MS so have to buy a wet room and the money from selling this one of possibly ten ever made (unused) is helping to pay for this.

Still I am using one as a runner which is also one of the ten protos and wont be selling that.. Pics are on the Petit site and on here somewhere.

Do me a favour as I am unable to access your site from work can you give me the part number for the chassis on the ZX-S, not the Evo. Thanks.

Middle, and you should buy the sc10 extra torque slipper pads and my design 100t 48dp spur from rw racing with hexes on both sides for the zx / zxr as you can use brushless mitors without problems. It also fits perfecty on the first picture but has more rotating mass weight so hence why we say middle.

Ball diffs are better but you must get ceramic diff balls and thrust race otherwise the diffs crap due to a gritty feeling.

Well my best mate Dave Belsten (Nuclear RC) recommends RC Lazy and I bought a couple of sets along with Nuclear RC grease and they are smooth big time.

I dont know part numbers but did send rclazy the originals and they had them. Their web site is easy to find on google, and if in the uk they are easy to call and ask for them, just ask fir lazer zxr diff balls

what size balls do i buy,

i see sizes like 4.3 and 4.8 etc but dont know what balls to buy...

just rewired my novak speedo to go in lazer so wires are right size and also made the cap wires long enough to sit neatly on top of rear gearbox,

burnt a hole in my hand doin it though, lol...

Hi Mate,

I have used the blue RPM ball cups on my ZX-RR as well!
These Associated ballstuds fits like a glove.....

- PN: ASC6276 short ballstud 4/40
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/Associated-S...item35b424553e

- PN: ASC6277 long ballstud 4/40
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/Associated-B...item2560c0c135

ATTN: I fitted the short ballstud PN: ASC6276 only in the plastic parts.
And I used the long ballstuds PN: ASC6277 in the shock towers, however it's possible that you you will need to enlarge the hole a little bit from the current size 2.6mm to 2.8mm.


Rgds
Olivier

Firstly nice zxr above with multi coloured bling but be warned the alloy top deck does bend and can snap the chassis.

Secondly i have always used associated ball joints all round and i would recommend and prefer the RC10 B2 ball cups which are now widely used on associated touring cars as they very rarely pop off unlike the RPM where they do when they wear. Im still using the same ball cups two years later and bugger all slop.
