I also still use the alloy ones as find the king pin can be thread locked in and unlike the plastic ones they dont vibrate out

More obscure parts
 

Took delivery of some more obscure ZX-S-only parts from "my guy" in the States.
:-D

The law-12 actually comes with the slipper pad.

mvh Isobarik

I thought it did but for $5 better to be sure.

Isobarik is a god!
 

Try getting hold of one of these people'
LAW-12 to go and the build begins!!
:drool:

yeah that was some awsome person that got that part for ya ....

I bet heis good looking to ....:D

mvh Isobarik

nice LA-103,that really hard to get this,I have one set for my zx-s

Easy to get, but prefer my versions as they are white :thumbsup:

ESC dated between '96-'2000
 

Hi peeps.
I'm gonna use my brand new Trinity Kinwald epoxy Motor.
(I think it's dated '94 but you lot may be able to correct me on that).

Does anyone have a really good condition ESC of that era, I couldn't even give any model numbers for those years.
LRP, Novak, Tekin etc.

Cheers

Tekin 410k was best in this car, mind you novak cyclone was good too. If you get tekin use three schotkey diodes on the other side post of the motor compared to where the esc is attaching to. It makes maintenance easier and looks great. Picked up that idea from Masami.

Purchaced.
Mint w/box, manual.
:)

Cheers

What Amp/Volt ones do I want?

Cheers James

Theres only one version of tekin 410k and is a keypad, the cyclone i believe only comes in one form as well and i set mine at 100amps continuous.

:lol:
I meant the diodes! Lol

Duh! Ive no idea, but if you look on demon racing or products (its one of them) i believe they still list them.

Box art shell done
 

Hi peeps!

Here's my ZX-S Evo shell painted up to the press release art design.
I'm sorry to everyone who thinks box art is a cop-out :thumbdown: , but rest assured all my new cars are painted how I like :D

Can't wait to get them both finished now so I can photograph my collection for the wonderful 'bragging rights' thread!

LOL!!!!

NIce, keep the good work!!

Looks good! Looking forward to seeing it on the car :D

Looking good crash

the clutch is comming my way.

mvh isobarik

Surely you can make a start now!

I am really looking forward to this one coming along!

Oh great stock repro by the way. I think it's best to keep it that way!

Sadly waiting on LAW-12 and some Kyosho screws from France :-(
Good things come to those who drink Guiness!

Go easy on the Guiness, otherwise your zx-s may not end looking like a zx-s :p

:o I thought I was building a RC10!!
Don't drink and eBay people! ;)

(and I don't actually like Guiness. But building with a glass of Absinth can't harm, surely?!)

That green stuff can do harm!

Didn't anyone tell you?! The MORE of it you drink the LESS harm it does.
Can't believe you don't know that trick! Try it, I promise. :D

Well the 90's for me was a blur, we arrived, drank loads, womanised and raced. Great times :-)

I will actually post my ZX-S build here when it starts (just waiting on LAW-12), in the meantime I've finished my ZX-5 (2005 original).

Does anyone have
 

I'm in need of a good servo from '96-2000.
Used is fine but standard size used for the ZX-S
Cheers peeps

(Futaba, hitek or Savox ideally)

Build Started (while I wait)

Looks great

How important are the foam inserts? I don't have them in any of the 2.2 wheels for my shelfers

Not very pal. Anyone racing even in the 80's used foams tho. Probably would have been grey.
I like the feel. :p

I preferred proline white, they were and still are in my opinion the best. The ansman blue inserts are identical. I didnt use them with schumacher green full spikes and a lot did and explains why they got beaten as in wet conditions due to having more grip without.

By the way your shell looks superb matey. Well done.

Thanks dude. That means a lot.
I can't wait to finish her so I can take a piccie for the photo thread.

(Which still should be sticky imo)
Moderator!! We need a moderator!;)

Differentials Complete
 

Hi peeps
Finished building the Diffs today. I'm using the slightly more modern 39506 WBD-5 diffs using a spring and nut as opposed to the spring washers.
Lovely to build and nice and smooth thanks to pressed steel washers either side of the diff balls.

Nick

Best diffs available so good one. When ive got the cash im going to have my proto diff halves machined so i can use in my zxr.
