OK took some measurements today. The battery bars are 80mm apart on my ZX but on the chassis for my Lazer project they are approx 78mm apart, a small difference but a difference nonetheless.

Ok sorry. You know there are two sizes of battery bars for the zxs so make sure you get the right size

Well ive redesigned my rear gearbox plates slightly and will be my last change.

Ive also had a rethink on the pivot block holding the front of the rear gearbox to the chassis and even though ive designed and having my unique pivot block made i think the easiest way is to change my L brace design so it and the cf motor plate ive done both hold the front section in place solidly and means normal pivot blocks can be used. The rear will be held in place by the rear mount after a tad of dremelling.

Once ive got all the bits made and the new layshaft as well i will be doing a step by step manual on how to build my rear gearbox. It will have a vts slipper attached as well.

I'm assuming the ZX-S bars are 80mm spacing between the post hole centres, how much closer or further apart are the post hole centres on the evo bars? I guess the difference is small enough for Fibrelyte to tweak an existing design for me.

That would be great, thanks.

Also in case I miss the boat, Merry Christmas to everyone.
Santa already came early for me and brought me a whole stack of Fibrelyte goodies, stay tuned for some new build threads in the New Year

Just dummying up bits for my projects and hit a problem I am hoping is common and easy to solve.
I am going to be using LA245 driveshafts but I find when I assemble them onto the knuckles along with the vzw010 drive washers there is quite a bit of space between the drive washer and the bearing. I imagine I need to use shims or spacers, which side do they need to go on, between the driveshaft and the inner bearing or between the outer bearing and the drive washer? I have also considered using a flanged washer to help make up some of the gap, would this cause any issues?

OK I also have a second issue, I have a spare pair of steering knuckles which are vintage Andy's however they dont have the lip that sits between the two bearings meaning that you can push a bearing right through, obviously they would never have been useable like that, I can't find any info on line for how they were intended to be used, would they have been designed for flanged bearings on either side? It has me stumped. I want to at least use them on a shelfer if not on a runner as I actually have two pairs of them

Merry Christmas to you all

Ah yes of course I remember now. Seems a bit of a waste to have bought the LA-245 complete I should have just gotten the bones (UM-510) but I can't seem to find them on eBay anyway.
I might still use a flanged washer and the LA-245 as is on the back of my Mid as that will be running the wide front and maybe on the front of my other project as that will be running the narrow front and the extra bit of track wouldn't hurt. I'll do some trial fits with flanged washers which I need for the Andy's knuckles anyway and see how it pans out.
It sucks not having a Kyosho distributor in Australia

Thats exactly what I am doing with them too.
The upper deck I got from Fibrelyte has a pair of countersunk holes to line up with the posts as well as another mod

Happy new year guys.

Any idea what the part number is for the hyper clutch thrust race that sits in front of the spur with the spring tight against it? Ive somehow managed to lose mine through my floor boards.
