Ok here is something esle for you. I have been dealing with Kamtec for the last couple or months and sent him a Lazer ZX-S LA122 bodyshell, which is an upgraded Optima Mid LWB shell without the lumps on the undertray and an air scoop for the motor and esc.

He has finished the mould and I have the very first shell sitting here and its better than the original, and slightly thicker so will last longer. Plus its a lot cheaper than the kyosho one so have a look at the link. Also Fibre lyte have all of the ZX and ZXR parts (I supplied them all of the items in the 90s as they made them thicker for me) plus the upgrades that I did on the chassis and top deck. Hope this all helps.

You can also order genuine Kyosho ZXS shells from time tunnel too

And i have a ZX/ZXR parts lot on e-bay too if anyones interested and i'm sure there's a front gear box case in there somewhere too :thumbsup: would be good for someone who want to run a ZXR to have as spares

Yeah I know Scoobster,I have a small wish list from your spares there-surely you can help me out? Didnt you end up with most of my Bosscat works buggies?
Anyway I decided to brave the wet conditions today and run some cars at my local track.

Well Jason, if i don't get a good price for them as a job lot i will list things one by one i guess and yeah had 3 of your Bosscat Works and still have one which will be going up for sale soon i think, well might be for sale :confused: not sure if i will ever find one as nice as it must be one of the best Bosscat Works in the UK! i have even added the alloy eccentrics to it now just for that finishing touch :thumbsup:

Yes you can but the shell is half as thick so doesnt take so much of a hammering. This Kamtec one is also 19.99 so a bit cheaper as well. Time tunnel have belts as well so worth getting them while you can,and rear gearboxes.

The stock shell is VERY thin! worse I think than Yokomo YZ10 shells.. but it does have nice clean lines moulded into it :D

BORMAC 19-04-2008 09:39 PM

I know what you mean,the ZXS shell I have must be one of those-its very thin lexan. Good thing for me I dont turn it on its lid very often. Are there some 870c shells around? I'd love to get one or two of those!

Well the ZXS Kamtec shell is thick and will take a pounding and I have the first one here and have to say its a work of art, and its only £20 with undertray.

After re looking at these pics your front castor block appears to be in the kit manual setting hole. I think all of the problems could be down to you not altering the front end to the wider setting. Longer ujs are needed.

Anyone has any idea where i can get lazer zxr mkii belts? also trying to find body shell and undertray...any ideas?

Ema 16-03-2009 10:28 AM

For the belt you have a cuople of options:
1 - Ebay: items no 360098917495 (easier)
2 - Order at Belt Corporation of America (follow the instruction on this link http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/s...=94239&page=53 ;))

Zx-r bodies and udertrays are really extremely hard to find .. so you may:
1 - Get an Optima mid LWB body repro here www.kamtec.co.uk (also on ebay)
2 - Get a Lazer Zx-s body repro always on www.kamtec.co.uk but will probably fits right only with the Welshy40 custom chassis ( is it right Whelsy :wub ? )

I also found a shop in Switzerland that sells some Zx-r body reproductions, or at least seems because unfortunately there is no online photo.
Here's the link:
www.li-po.ch

Articles no:
Zx-r
- Kosmos - Karosserie LAZER-ZX =LA-52 1:10 LH064B (Body)
- Kosmos - Wanne LAZER-ZX =LA-53 1:10 LH064A (Undertray)
Original Zx
- Kosmos - Karosserie LAZER =LA-36 1:10 LH041
Lazer Alpha
- Kosmos - Karosserie LAZER ALPHA = LZ-2 1:10 LH071

By the way, original Lazer body are available also here:

Pretty much what Ema said.

ww.kamtec.co.uk does a ZX shell and ZX-S shell. The ZX-S shell fits but you need to move the servo in further towards the belt. I redesigned a slimmer and better balanced chassis specifically for this and www.fibre-lyte.co.uk do this as well. All info is on www.radiocontrolzone.com from about page 20 onwards.

The shells are better quality than the original and last a lot longer. also I hear that some one has made a mold for the ZXR but am unsire if it will last long enough for more to be made. As soon as I know I will update you.

And you'll be sitting on a gold mine if you found a supply of Lazer ZX front gearboxes.
