hi all,
im thinking of restoring my lazer zx-rr, and would like to include a few period hop ups in to the build, im after anything people may have that might be of interest, green teamline hubs, roll bars etc. was pointed in this direction by welshy.

Yup best place is here, I am unable to give anything only due to me still racing my car full time now so need all the spares I have which tbh isnt much.

What I would advise is getting an alloy rear top deck holder to deal with the heat dissapation and alloy pivot blocks, pure ten blue chassis steering parts as used by Jamie Booth when the car was released and when he won the Nats with the RR. I would opt for using Robs tensioner as believe it or not was something Bob Gammon was testing at the 93 worlds on his buggy and is designed slightly differently from mine which I can supply as well. This tensions the rear belt and stops it snapping so basically getting a longer lifespan from it. also would be a good idea to add a tensioner to the front belt as well and have designed this as well so can get a drawing of it for you should you decide on buying one from Fibrelyte (link in my name tag).

Teamline front hubs 5 degree and 7.5 degree are what your after, and unsure who here may have a set. if not the other option is for someone to do a 3D drawing of these so it can be printed, yes its weaker than nylon but the design will still be strong and doubt it will break easily.

The other question is if using the car then do you want to go the whole hog and buy from Alcyon his layshaft which was designed for use of the associated B4 or VTS slipper clutch, as this puts the car in the fast lane and competes easily with the new cars.

All CF parts are easily obtainable through Fibrelyte as they copied most items they have on file from me including a tub chassis should you want that ultimate bling factor.

You can also get MIP type UJs from Kyosho as well but other than that think I have mentioned all.

thanks for the info, wouldnt mind seeing some pictures of the belt tentioners so i can construct something similar, as far as the blue steering set and cooling plate, do you know where i may be able to obtain them from?.
im hoping to use the car so the layshaft from alcyon sounds perfect, apologies im a bit out of touch with buggies these days and last used this when i was 12. what does this layshaft / slipper allow?

Blue steering set I have found one on ebay worldwide but did notice another one appear in the UK so do a search on Kyosho 39655 special unicrank and you will find.

Also plenty of normal motor plates on ebay as well. Nothing for the Teamline blocks at the moment.

Layshaft you will need in my opinion a VTS slipper as I find its quicker than the B4 slipper assembly, but you will need to buy some spur gears from RW Racing and are 100t B4 48dp spur gears to use it.

cheers, i really appreciate the advice, so i can get the layshaft from alcyon on rc10talk?, where would i look for a vts slipper? sorry to sound so stupid, but i know very little about off road! didnt think i still had the car till my parents cleared out there loft! oh and ill be ordering the steering crank set, good spot!

Alcyons on here as well. Vts is a slipper clutch assembly made by team associated and if you do a search on that you will find. Also RW Racing do 100t 48dp b4 spur gears, i may buy ten off him later this month so will sell you one if that makes life easier. Where are you based?
