Lazer zxr

[Welshy40]

Problem is the length as with the bearing and thrust race (im using the zx layshaft thrust race) as the spring is hard to screw on. Biggest problem is if you take a layshaft and put the spring on it only goes up to the end of the thread as its narrower than the rest of the layshaft and is causing the problem. When you tighten a hyper clutch or b4 or b3 slipper the spring sits on the thrust plate and when tightend it keeps the thrust race tight which sorts the slipper and the two flat lips on the layshaft is where the spring hits so no tension on the thrust to set the slipper. I hope ive made sense.

I am sorry, it might be the morning here, but I don't understand what you are saying. In short, do you want a shorter spring with same strength? or do you want it longer?

[Welshy40]

Neither, wider so it can slide down the layshaft.

and if welsh would have looked at the thread those slipper springs from tamiya are wider and use an sleve to center it.

OH! So you needed a spring that is larger in diameter, correct?

Can you give me the spec on the spring? So that I can find you a proper spring?

I don't use the spring, I am still using spring washers.

Belts are being finalized. Just need to pay them this week, and I will be getting them next week. I ordered belts in "Blue." It goes with the buggy.

Superb!!! Cant wait.

Ive worked out that the hyperclutch layshaft is fractionally longer than the zx and zxr mk1 so ive figured out how to do it with the hyperclutch parts and a zxr mk1 layshaft but the width diameter of the spring is a bugger. Ive gone back to a mk1 slipper system At the moment as per iso but with my spur and pads plus a washer between the spring and plate so i can get tension on the spur.

Springs are 5.5mm long, 4.5 would be preferable.

Here are some pics of the front with the LA-219-07 hubs



and here are an pic of the rear with the sp107




damn i really got to get an new kamera........or move away from the object since the zxs in the backround also sporting the LA-219 is sharper.....

Well it was designed for the zxs not the zx5, and yes you do need photography lessons.

Hi guys, I've been reading this thread a lot ever since I worked on restoring my Lazer ZX this summer. Lots of great information here, and the new parts you are designing really makes me want to buy them all when they are available.
Check out my Lazer ZX here: http://fun-with-rc.blogspot.com/2011...storation.html

ps - iso, put your camera into "macro" mode for the really close shots and you should have better luck!

Hehe iso can barely work out how to take the picture, just like me

On a serious note nice work, welcome to the club. Firstly i would get the semicircular front shock mount but may need longer shocks to account for it. Buy a reverse oneway hub that sits behind the spur gear that goes into the gearbox on the layshaft as this give 50/50 drivetrain and makes it much better.

Almost all info is on here or radiocontrolzone and that has all my ideas and how i came to some of my designs. Trial and error has made a difference. I will post more pics of my car this weekend after ive tested a few things on friday. Any problems pm me or ask everyone here, as we will all happily help you out.

contiuation from the thread i started.i have uploaded some more pics of both cars including the slipper area,and also ive laid a ruler from "top deck rear mount to the wishbone block which sits behind the motor"in a bid to try and find out which ones i have.from what i see car one comes up at 50MM car to is 55MM.i like the idea of transfering all the good parts on to one car,but if they turn out to be a mk1 and mk2 is there much difference and what would be a better car to drive?

Reversed one way hub is LAW-4? I have it but had no idea what it does. I am going to put it on this week and try it out.

[Welshy40]

With the original zx slipper system the drive is 60/40 but with the reverse one way hub its 50/50 but means you cant use reverse as the one way will stop anything happening. Ok i did get the 60/40 sytem to work well on carpet but this is easier.

On high grip the mk1 (55mm) but on low grip its really down to preference. Mk2 (50mm) may jump better and be less agressive in and out of the corners.

I see my old shell

[oosh123]

Do you guys know where I can find a saddle pack connection wire with banana plugs what would be somewhat flush with the battery when it is connected?

I don't want to soldier one up myself.

[londonladliam]
