Yes you can always rely on Ron, he is a top bloke and has saved my bacon on several occassions. I intend to do the Maritime Winter series this year, all five events so hope we can get a few more ZXRs down there to race and have some fun.

James, what's the date on the winter series? I'd love to do it but I'm not sure if the car will be ready and I haven't driven in 20 years!

Unsure at the moment but possibly september up to march, theres five races but is too early for dates. If you cant dont worry. Besides im going all out to get the layshaft sorted and chassis as im aiming for an A final in at least one of them.

If there are 5 races I should be able to make at least one and it's indoor that I want to do so seems like a good fit. Best get some radio gear sorted!

Game on. It would be fun if we had more, heck there were three Losi XXX4's there and would have been nice out numbering them.

Im going all out here, i bought a Sanwa Gemini the other day and also a 2.4ghz hack so when it arrives i will fit it, so not only will my car be nostalgic but the transmitter as well. Best one i ever had in the early 90's.

What's the difference with the new layshaft design? Is this the one that uses the full B4 slipper?

Also, what does everyone think regarding shocks? Should I get some platinum ones to keep it authentic ZXRR, ZX5 velvets or go full on with Big Bores?

Finally, can anyone confirm if Fibrelyte has a template for the Teamline front shock mount (see attaced)? Or does anyone have one that I could buy or get a template made from?

That's just a pic found online (maybe even on this thread I can't remember), I don't actually have the shock mount but I want one. I just have the standard ZXRR front mount at the moment.

Thanks for all the answers iso

Anyone got the pivot block that goes behind the front gearbox that they are willing to sell. I have a new set of pivot blocks here but that one is missing from the packet so trying to complete the set

Leave the shocks as they are, may be a good idea to replace all the seals though.

Fibrelyte may have done a copy but am unsure. You can scan the tower or send them it to get it made. I dont think i ever owned that tower so is probably why it wasnt copied.

Layshaft is shorter so not only can the B4 slipper be used but the new VTS as well and in my opinion think the VTS will add speed.

Well as i love driving my vintage buggy i thought why not buy the transmitter i used to use, boy was that a tough one. I used to own a Sanwa Gemini Exerd and boy was it good and simple, but finding just one was hard, that was until three days ago when one appeared on ebay for £35 and looks like its been used for two months, looks prestine.

Now to fit my Frsky 2.4ghz hack conversion and all needed upgrades will be done. then my car will look totally vintage as well as the old fogey driving it
