Lazer ZX-S Evo Build

[Crashtest33]

Hi Chaps.

I've sourced all the parts needed and have decided to take the plunge.
All parts are ordered now except LA-103 and LAW-12 which I'm talking to 'mvh isobarik' about.
Here's a few pics I've taken of parts prep.
Note. Coffee. Very important!

Brave man! I look forward to seeing this one...

Let me know if you need help with part dimensions...

[Welshy40]

Just dont run it as the plastics brittle and the kick up plate bends quite easily. Still you anywhere near the maritime track as im racing there on 7th april so can see one for yourself, but is heavilly modded. .

OK finally got my computer to let me use the web so check out my version.

[isobarik]

Welsh did crash get tha last LAW-20.1 ???

crash you could just have posted in the lazer thread

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

No, its the only one ive got left and will only part with it if I get £100 for it. Ive also got a brass rear tower mount going for £50 and a few rear and front belt £15 each and some front gearboxes £10 each.

[Crashtest33]

James, any chance of dimensions of the kick up plate?

Then once mvh has got me 103, Law-12, the center gear and the belts, I'm good to go.

Cheers

Just 20-1 (kick up plate) would be great. I can fabricate ally.
Cheers pal

[Welshy40]

Euro or £ ?
Could you give the price of each item.
Spending that sort of money is no problem but I will need a proper invoice

Can you PM or email me an invoice.

Cheers pal

[Crashtest33]

Hi chaps.
Just wanted to confirm the contents for LAW-12
According to my manual you get;

96, 97, 137, 138, 139, 142, 145

139 - Hyper disk plate (la-118)
138 - Slipper pad (um 123)
137 - Inner disk plate
96 - Main shaft (law-12-1z)
97 - One way drive gear
145 - Ball bearing
142 - Spring (um 124)

Can anyone confirm this as 'comunication' with "my guy" is very hazy.

Cheers.

[Naushad]

Right..sorry for delay.

I've taken pics so you get an appreciation of the plate's kick up.

I can't give you the angle, but you maybe able to work it out from the pic!

Chucked out the protractor after doing my GCSEs :lol:

nope it doesent have the LA-118 since when the hyperclutch came it was made for the zxr ....there for it has an plate that fits the la-2 and tm-7

mvh Isobarik

[Crashtest33]

Great info, cheers.

Could you do pm me a price breakdown of the parts I need.

p.s. Where on earth are you getting them from?!

Nick

[Crashtest33]

Mock up done.
Not bad, as soon as my chassis arrives I'll check it fits then make a super tidy one.

I think youll find the hyper clutch was developed in the s before it hit the mk2 buggy. The hyper clutch was in the 93/4 models and were passed onto the teams for their zxrs.

You have a ZXS Naushad? Cool car..!

[Crashtest33]

Hi peeps!

On a roll now! Managed to make LAW-20-1 and I've got a friend in the US who has ordered LA-116 & 118 from Kyosho US (in stock) to forward to me USPS.

Rather excited now.
Just need LA103 & Law12 from Isobarik when he gets round to it and we're laughing.

Once this ZX-S is made entirely from NIP parts can I call myself a true ZX-S owner?? ;-)

[Welshy40]

njaaa..... part number says otherwise

mvh isobarik

I do recall Jamie Booth running it in his nats winning car and I may have got the years muddled up, as he may have won in 92, a year before the s.

[lllyf]

I have some used LA-103 parts,used front bumper and like mint upper arm,good condition gear cover cap

[Crashtest33]

Hi peeps.

Stuff's started being delivered now. My main suppliers are Chris Powell (aka Fireboy) in Long Beach, Myles (aka. Vintage-Kyosho) and Hobby Japan on eBay.
Waiting on parts from Fiberlyte and a few bits from you lot and it's Rock & Roll!!

[HKS_TRD]

Wow that reminds me of my Mid SP Build! I'll be posting a similar picture this weekend for my Next Project (SWB Mid)
I couldn't make out which shocks they were in the pic, I'm going to have gold velvet shocks on my ZX-S

[Crashtest33]

Everything is exactly to the manual for the ZX-S Evo, so they're the W5181/83 set with blue caps.
A kitchen table covered in Kyosho NIB parts is up there beauty-wise in E-Type Jag territory if you ask me!

Can't wait to see your SWB build parts pal!

[lllyf]

congratulate the new lazer zx-s owner！

By the looks on the pic you seams to be missing the LAW-12 slipper what if someone super human, lazer guru , awsome person could fix that for you ....:woot:

mvh Isobarik

[Welshy40]

Iso,

I believe Crashtest33 is also waiting on you for a few items as well and know that he is biting his nails in anticipation as he like you and I has an addiction to the design concept and looks of this beast. He should be getting a couple of items shortly from me and hope your going to add the icing to the cake.:drool:

[Crashtest33]

Belts received!!
So to are my carbon chassis parts!
Gonna check my home CNC'd LAW-20-1 fits tonight.
And I've decided you lot are just mean ;-)

[lllyf]

I saw you will using OT-16 alum knuckle arm, kyosho already replaced plastics one since zxr, but I still love the alum one.:lol:

[Welshy40]

I also still use the alloy ones as find the king pin can be thread locked in and unlike the plastic ones they dont vibrate out

[Crashtest33]

Took delivery of some more obscure ZX-S-only parts from "my guy" in the States.
:-D

[isobarik]

The law-12 actually comes with the slipper pad.

Easy to get, but prefer my versions as they are white :thumbsup:

[Crashtest33]

Hi peeps.
I'm gonna use my brand new Trinity Kinwald epoxy Motor.
(I think it's dated '94 but you lot may be able to correct me on that).

Does anyone have a really good condition ESC of that era, I couldn't even give any model numbers for those years.
LRP, Novak, Tekin etc.

Cheers

[Welshy40]

Tekin 410k was best in this car, mind you novak cyclone was good too. If you get tekin use three schotkey diodes on the other side post of the motor compared to where the esc is attaching to. It makes maintenance easier and looks great. Picked up that idea from Masami.

[Crashtest33]

Purchaced.
Mint w/box, manual.

What Amp/Volt ones do I want?

Theres only one version of tekin 410k and is a keypad, the cyclone i believe only comes in one form as well and i set mine at 100amps continuous.

I meant the diodes! Lol

[Welshy40]

Duh! Ive no idea, but if you look on demon racing or products (its one of them) i believe they still list them.

[Crashtest33]

Hi peeps!

Here's my ZX-S Evo shell painted up to the press release art design.
I'm sorry to everyone who thinks box art is a cop-out :thumbdown: , but rest assured all my new cars are painted how I like :D

Can't wait to get them both finished now so I can photograph my collection for the wonderful 'bragging rights' thread!

Sadly waiting on LAW-12 and some Kyosho screws from France :-(
Good things come to those who drink Guiness!

Go easy on the Guiness, otherwise your zx-s may not end looking like a zx-s :p

Don't drink and eBay people! ;)

(and I don't actually like Guiness. But building with a glass of Absinth can't harm, surely?!)

That green stuff can do harm!

Didn't anyone tell you?! The MORE of it you drink the LESS harm it does.
Can't believe you don't know that trick! Try it, I promise. :D

[Welshy40]

Well the 90's for me was a blur, we arrived, drank loads, womanised and raced. Great times :-)

[Crashtest33]

I will actually post my ZX-S build here when it starts (just waiting on LAW-12), in the meantime I've finished my ZX-5 (2005 original).

[Crashtest33]

I'm in need of a good servo from '96-2000.
Used is fine but standard size used for the ZX-S

How important are the foam inserts? I don't have them in any of the 2.2 wheels for my shelfers

[Crashtest33]

Not very pal. Anyone racing even in the 80's used foams tho. Probably would have been grey.
I like the feel. :p

[Welshy40]

I preferred proline white, they were and still are in my opinion the best. The ansman blue inserts are identical. I didnt use them with schumacher green full spikes and a lot did and explains why they got beaten as in wet conditions due to having more grip without.

By the way your shell looks superb matey. Well done.

Hi peeps
Finished building the Diffs today. I'm using the slightly more modern 39506 WBD-5 diffs using a spring and nut as opposed to the spring washers.
Lovely to build and nice and smooth thanks to pressed steel washers either side of the diff balls.

Nick

[Welshy40]

Best diffs available so good one. When ive got the cash im going to have my proto diff halves machined so i can use in my zxr.

Build it all together, its a pain doing it any other way.
