Difference LA-209/210 and LA-262/263

[Mark Boos]

What is the difference between the parts LA-209/210 (ZX5 SP) and LA-262/263 (ZX5 FS)?
Do the suspension mounts LAW-36/37 fit on the ZX5 SP?
Thank you!

The FS (LA262/LA263) transmission cases differ in that the diffs actually sit lower in the FS, more so at the rear than the front.

The other differences are that the shock tower mounts are different (FS is slightly taller to make up for the change in case hight and there is much more material in them).

You have to use the correct cases for the car you have.


The LAW036/37 can be used on all the ZX5 chassis variants.

Hope that helps

Thank you!

Another question...do you know, if the diff cases from the FS fit on the KM Conversion?

[RogerM]

They might do I have no idea. IMHO the best thing you can do with a LM conversion is put it in the bin, hateful handling thing!

[Mark Boos]

Really?!
But why? The Asso B44 and Hot Bodies D4 do have the same chassis layout and they handle very good...
I think with practicing and set up testing it can be a good car.
And I love trying something different than others...

[RogerM]

Firstly I have to disagree with you about the handling of the B44 style cars, but that is my personal opinion.


The real problem with the KM Conversion is it's too short in wheelbase and thus very twitchy and unpredictable

I LOVE MY KMC
it comes down to personal preference and of course good taste!!
