Layout wise it looks like they have turned the motor round to put the spur gear in the centre of the car, didn't they try that in the 2007 worlds before the FS came out?

This looks ready for production instead of just a prototype. Look at the moulded sides on the chassis ;-) and the anodising on the chassis ;-) very polished ! Would look nice next to a RB6 in somebody's garage ...

I agree the anodizing makes it look pretty finished, but to be fair I also think the chassis looks a bit too open (sidepods don't really connect/merge into other parts - and looking at the RB6' styling I'd expect that on the ZX6 as well) - and small things like the large offset of the rear shocks on the shock tower (compared to the front) to me are small hints that it might not be done yet...

...Could it be that the sidepods are 3D printed, and they decided to spend a few extra bucks on an anodized chassis? (It's a big brand, it won't break their bank)

It looks like the motor is further forward compared to the likes of the B44 but not is extreme as the previous car. It looks good but it'll be expensive.

Looks very similar to the TRF 502, but works drivers seem to like the older 511. It all depends on the weight balance.Kyosho would have done there home work for sure. Looks like a good kit but not cheap.

from some of tebos posts I think they were heading back to the drawing board for some adjustments,from how I read it,it was the designer who was least happy with it. All gone quiet since then

I think they may of hoped for the same as the rb6 but just didn't happen for any of the kyosho drivers they would have been better off using the old zx5

Agreed think with the very high grip dirt they would have been better using a chassis they were used to so they were not fighting the car and the track.

Think a new car is coming for sure. Not sure when but looking around shops sites I have noticed the zx5 stock is normally 0 or not even listed. maybe a sign…maybe not

ZX-S style would be sweet but I doubt it... Tebo seems to be working on the same prototype, Ronnefalk too.

I suppose this is a consequence of the coming ZX-6. ZX-5 sales are really low and shops only carry what people want to buy!

I bought a rb6 8 months ago and sold my pimped centro and thought what is all the fuss about but i tell you the rb6 is a great car and I have been racing on and off a long time and has now taken over from my traxas trx3 which was my all time favourite it's just so easy to drive and understand the setups.. The thing is 4 wd i have bought a lazer zx5 sp after what can only be said was a stinker of a sworkz and that car is the same just a great car but the question is after kyosho suffering at the worlds with the protype i mean even boots did pants and he a very good driver can they really improve it that much all the new cars look alike really now do you not think?
