Collector Lazer Alert ! What do you guys think?
Quote:
I just saw the ending price for the Kyosho Lazer ZX-R! Over $700 USD:confused::thumbdown:What do you guys think? Is this a scam,Was is a moron overpaying? Collector Mode activate!I dont think I can shell out over 7 Ben Franklins out. That seems rediculous!:o Please let me know what you think.(Please follow lower link) Regards http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT |
NIB kits have been going for high dollars the last couple of years, I wouldn't personally pay that much for a car unless I *REALLY* wanted to have it. That being said, I've already got a couple of Lazers and Optima Mids and it doesn't make a difference to me if they're NIB or used when they're sitting on the shelf. I run my cars when I can, that's the enjoyable part for me but other get their kicks from having a minty, untouched, never-ran car on the shelf. To each his own.

I also agree that the funny stuff is to race our buggy again and to try to beat modern cars :thumbsup: . So with the used (and optional) parts I will also build a racing Lazer ;) ! Once that an item is considered a collectable one, it has no really a fixed value. The value depends on how many people wants to have it and how items are available. Now there are a lot of people that wants to own a Lazer again (because they own this buggy, or they get into the RC world with it, when they were a teenager). Personally I want this car because I was not able to buy it when I was young (it was too expensive). I will never pay 1 million dollar for an used Madonna's underpants, but probably there is out there someone that can do that. P.S. A Durango DEX10 is not really cheaper, however there are a lot of peoples that bought this car and they are not collectors ..... |
AIP got any ???
moth you got pméd mvh Isobarik |
Hello Henrik,
no questions my friend, just anxious anticipation!!:thumbsup: Aaron |
Does anybodt know where I can get a new la-35 gear cover?
|
Moth i have one but you just sold youre soul to me so what can you possibly give me....:thumbsup:
Other wise i have sent 2 to kamtec so in an near future you can get them from there. Aip my car is at the machanic so i cant get the tracking numbers right now shall look for it on monday when i recive my car. And ofcourse i drive an SAAB.:) mvh Isobarik |
I did sell you my soul....so maybe you want my wife!!! :bored: No I can't do that, I love her to much... would you be interested in my parrot?:)
Is kamtec going to make them the original colour? Because bluegroove has them but only in clear. Saab used to be my favorite brand in the late 80's when they had character, the 900 turbo was stunning, then ford bought them and the style that set them apart went out the window.:( |
I will think about the wife thing.;)
I dont know witch color that kamtec will have but the first one i sended them was smoked and the second was clear. I have just one NIP left and that is the smoked ver. early are smoked and later are clear I have had the 900 turbo 16 actually if you look at the old 900 cc and an cockpit for the JA37 viggen they have an reasemblens. I drove one on the autobahn in germany i was leaving Tcheckoslovakia heading for sweden it made 225 with 4 people in and packing then i knew thet i had to get one and i did get one. mvh Isobarik |
They were always fast

Welsh how did it go in the petit event ???

Im very sorry to hear what happened. What kind of power setup do you have? What about Gear ratio? Im used to a 18Tooth Pinion and a 81Tooth Spur.The wheels... Are they stock 1.9" or the newer standard 2.2"?Did you have a practice run at all? What kind of cars were you racing against? Did you have Ball diffs or the standard Gear diff in your ZX Version.

Were you running your Zx-s prototype ? |
Yes i used my zxs prototype.
I had a practice run, pity that i only did three laps in practice and the same laps in the first and second rounds which basically put an end to my day. I used annsman madrat 2wd front wheels and zx5 fs rear wheels and were 2.2inch i used an lrp sxx esc with a nosram x12 5.5 with an 87 spur and forgotten the pinion but possibly a 19. Ratio was 9.7 to 1. I had standard zxr diffs as my ones have been sent off to be remolded as the proto ones are better. The cars were durango (gerd was in my heat race), ttech predator, tamiya trf 511, b44, lazer zx-5 (several types) and several one off cars as well. I couldnt get the zx type slipper third diff gear so was unable to drive with any slipper clutch so did wheely under heavy power. |
Sorry to hear of your troubles welshy, were you running your vintage lazer? Ema had mentioned he wanted to build a racer with his spare zx parts and that got me thinking, back in the early 90's motors could only produce so much power, these new brushless systems might be to powerful for those older gearing systems and cars. I've seen some tracks with virtical turns!!! The site sponsor shumacher, witch makes the beautiful Cat SX that I'm waiting to recieve, would be more of a contender.Thats not to say I've thought thae same way but I don't think it realistic to compete with the lazer, as good as I think it is. Maybe its time to create a vintage division.

1 - The front gearbox LA32 The original front diff case were designed with a belt roller built in, but from the Zx-r version the roller is no more mounted. However unfortunately the LA32 were never redesigned and it is quite common to strip the front tower mount during heavy crash. The problem can be partially solved using a carbon fiber tower and can be totally solved using the redesigned LA32 made without the roller mount (available from a Welshy friend) 2 - The arm mounts LA30 The plastic whisbone mount are weak, back in the days some company made some alluminium mount that fix the problem. About the transmission you don't have to worry ;) ! The Lazer differential are shared with a lot of other kyosho projects, for example you can find them in the Inferno TR15 (gear diff) nitro buggy or into the Pure Ten (ball diff) nitro sedan. If you have troubles with LA11 drive shaft pulleys, you can also use the new parts (always from the Welshy friend) that are tested using a 5.5 brushless motor :thumbsup: ( generally a 6.5 will be enough for everyone). If you didn't like the original universal shaft you can also update them using the zx-5 CVDs. I'm currently running also a 1995 Associated B2, with decent results. Ok, I will not make the A final, but I can put a lot of B4 guys behind me and I really enjoy that :thumbsup:. Probably with the Lazer I will also not make the A final, but my target is only to put some newer car behind my Zx-r and have fun !!! |

Im now on for getting a new car but need to sell my new unused prototype (im keeping my race buggy) but the going rate for this one is going to be high £800 to whoevers door for a signature as its one of the rarest out there. Comes of course with a new uncut shell and undertray (the original Kyosho ones). Still I enjoyed myself a lot. 2wd was dialed by the final so was a bit late but boy did it shift in that final. Still thats going to be sold as well and looks great with my dragon shell on it. |

I do kindof agree with you on the Lazer front and getting a cat SX will be a good car to race. Me i'm tempted to get a tamiya TRF511 and use that for the big events until I can get the ZXS to go the way i want it to. Its too low and doesnt go in and out of corners as good as I had hoped but the lipo tray worked perfectly as well as the chassis design as well. The gear boxes and layshaft gears were spot on and just a few strength issues that still need addressing on the front area as well as a major overhaul on the set up when I get a chance to test it properly. I would like to be able to better my placing by 70 positions next time I race my ZXS. HKP - Yup you did and enjoyed having the mick taken out of me by quite a few people. Good fun. Thanks buddy and what a great weekend. Thanks for getting involved and butting in before I left as you were well aware that I was a bit shattered and wasn't really in the mood for a lengthy discussion with anyone. Much appreciated. :thumbsup: |

My list is really similar, I can add a couple of French guys and Macao (really cheap ball bearing set on ebay ;) ) but I have to remove Japan and China. I'm still thinking that we need a website for our Lazers ;) !! Bye Ema P.S. Just bought a set of hex screws for my racer :thumbsup: !! |

Hey iso I think your mixing me up with someone else, I live in Montreal on the east coast of Canada. Vancouver is on the west coast about 4600 kilometers away, so a picture from the olympics will be a little hard.:)
I'm still working on my rebuild and I'm almost done, just waiting for the bumper from Iso and a new set of wheels. It looks spectacular if I do say so myself. I made a couple of cosmetic changes that are not original but make a huge difference in my opinion. I hope to make the reveal next week. |
