Lazer zxr

[lllyf]

the printed paper with my evo, 39900Yen is including sell fees and shipping cost in Japan, ordered at 07/24/2000, sell in 09/2000.
the Japanese“生产台数100台限定"meaning 100 limited

[Welshy40]

They made more. Tower Hobbies sold 100 as well. I found this out when i snapped my chassis number 144 and had it replaced. Only 500 in total were sold of the zxs series, 200 of the evo and 300 zxs. Still what can we say about this car other than its a designers wet dream, brilliant yet simple to run and maintain. I still race mine now but after strengthening the front gearbox side panels and changing the kick up plate to carbon fibre and having an alloy shock tower made. Its almost as strong as the zxr now. Do you still have yours? Do you race yours and do atlas still sell spares as im in need of the diff outdrives as mine have worn out.

[lllyf]

Oh I understand. 100 in Japan and 100 overseas. my box number is 009.Yes, I have two evos one near mint and one light used. I like kyosho carbon fiber productions they look awesome. but kyosho seen unwilling equip carbon chassis in standard 1:10 offroad kit. before zxs just turbo optima mid special only. just options parts.
I still a lazer zx lover although do not run it. I love kyosho lazer's simple design but has special charm.I don't know why in market there are lot of optimas & optima mids but hardly find lazer kit and parts.

Sorry Alcyon and ISO.

Since my current funds is very limited for RC. I am only going to make the layshaft with one fixed and one one-way pulley.

Why I am going with this is because after hours of searching for different belt-driven buggy's manuals, which includes Kyosho, Associated, Yokomo, Schmacher, etc, they all have a one-way bearing for the front belt. There has to be a reason why this setup is preferred if so many companies went with it.

If demands are there for the fixed pulleys layshaft setup, I will produce them in the summer.

Fibre lyte which the link to the website is below have been given all zx, zxr flat chassis and shock tower, L brace and steering plates and all zxs as well by me so all but the alloy plate which can be bought from ebay.

bro, its up to you if you want to try to make the shaft, but the one i am making is still pending the prototype, though its taking a long time, it will come out eventually. you could either wait for mine or try your shaft with the one way.

[Welshy40]

All I can say is having two different designs makes this more fun, after all we all put our own idea into a design dont we and thats half the fun.

Now that I have designed the rear gearbox and believe me it looks stunning, and will post pics once my pivot block has been drilled and a copper tube has been cut, glued into and fitted. Its a CF wet dream. All I need now is a layshaft to go into it so I can fully test.

Hi guys, So since I can't find a NIB ZXR I am going to try to put one together, and maybe get the carbon parts from Fiber Lyte.

What is your opinion on these?

Yes I agree so what is your opinion on the 2 auctions I pasted a link of?

It depends if you are getting one in a hurry or not. Since Welshy will soon come out with his new CF rear gear box, and I will bring in my new CF front gear box; plus Alcyon and I are making a new layshaft, almost all of the parts on my lazer is not from the original kit.

If you are not in a hurry and cash is not a problem and you want something better than the original kit, I say wait for the up coming items and build yourself a Lazer zxrs.

I probably will start with whatever I can get in bits and pieces, but will stay opened to what you guys have. I have been going through this thread where I saw many interesting things and learned a lot about this car and it's evolution.

What do you have in mind? I woud be happy to start a project and post photos and comments here... That could be fun.

[lllyf]

I love original kit zx or zxr even zx-s, but I am very interested in all option parts for lazers
I have 3 zxr nib

[Joe Kimble]

Wow. I don't assume you would sell one to me?

[Joe Kimble]

It would mean a lot, really, I have heavy history with this car.

And we could do an upgrade project to share here...

Joe,

Id buy the second one and then slowly fix it, then upgrade it when the time is right for you. The reason so many items are still available is because i wanted to carry on racing this car so found companies that would and makes life a bit easier to make it at your own pace. Kamtec (zxs with undertray and parma tomcat shell without undertray) and fibre lyte (all chassis varieties, shock towers, steering plates, L braces, servo plate, soon to be pivot blocks, lipo tray and soon to be the original tub chassis) links are below.
