The chassis on the right-hand side is from a Lazer-ZX ;D

Those shock towers at the upper left are also Lazer stuff I think.

You can find scans of the manual here:

thanks j0pp3, will have a look at that link...its all new to me right now...got gearboxes, wheels n tyres...no top chassis edit (upper deck) ...old shell...a few other bits...would be great to race either of these two in a vintage race. The omcs has a 17t in...just ran it for first time today...was a blast.

Those two long strips to the right of the chassis are he ZX top deck. Everything else looks to be Lazer-ZX too, apart from the body shell which is ZX-R.

Those two rear arms just below the undertray are Optima arms. Otherwise I think it's all Lazer ZX stuff.
