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 ?

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

Yeah i have an zxs body from kamtec but a friend of mine that should have painted it weeks ago havent done that yet. and i really want it especially since i got my hands on the LA 35 spurgear cover.

Talked to him a couple minutes ago and he had the stuff to do it on monday.

Yeah i was thinking of getting parts from fiberlyte for the car but i will still miss that LAW 20-1

Hm spurgear cover hm its not on the list but he has it for the zxs ??.

When i sended him the zxr body i also sended him the LA 35 spurgear cover for the zx/r.

yes he has made the gear cover for the zxs and i have four in total and are near enough perfect. You may have to by a couple as i cut the first one wrong but very strong items

Kick up plate. Ive located two and will confirm next week the timeline as it may take a few months to get but it may be £100 for the two plates, one of which im having as a spare so i dont have to dismantle my unused prototype.

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.

Shall scan it

yes i did get it but it was just an picture or did i do something wrong ??

Anyway i was wrong about kinwalds car it could not be seen he qualified 1st andcouldnt be seen in the picture.

On the other hand in 6th qualifier was Gregg Hodapp and his car could be seen in the picture it has almost the same paint scheme as kinwald blue yellow white and black and he was driving an lazer zxs

I have just a couple, but you can request them to be made from Kamtec like I did, then again I sent him the original one to copy.

Also NEWS FLASH!!! I have a Lazer Parma Tom Cat shell and with wing which is part of the mold and that to will be sent off to him to make a work of art too so then I will have both different shells for my ZX-S
