How about you get yourself a proper vintage car then?

Would be awesome to see one of these running again
And there's another on ebay at the moment :wub

It's ok Matt, he can beat the rest of us by as many laps as he wants - with the B3 he won't be scoring points against us! (2 classes don't forget).

olla all you Vintage racers

i watched you guys do this some time ago at Caldi and it did look like fun

what cars class as pre 94 and pre 99? appaert from the AE cars i have no idea- one question is a xx4 pre 99 and are you letting people run them in 4wd vintage?

Im looking at 2wd for vitage fun

Yeah, I really didn't think the pre-99 through properly. It was aimed at a couple of people who wanted to run their mid 90's Cats and Cougars (none of whom seem to want to race now!) xx4 does count as pre-99 :rolleyes:

2wd and 4wd are running together for vintage - unless we had enough entries for 2 heats! Even then I'd be inclined to split based on year rather than transmission.

right then chaps i found this in the cupboard and haven't a clue what it is. Can anyone tell me what it is and when it was made? All i know is it says Kyosho on the bumper?

Looks like a laser zx but i could be wrong.

Looks like scrap, but I could be wrong :)

Its a mk1 Kyosho Lazer ZX circa 1989/90 Bill, and looks to be in pretty good nick :)

Shocks arent original though, look like early Scumachers to me ?

Perfect for the vintage series, and i have spares if you need any...

Its a lazer zx and still the best 4wd buggy ive ever driven, knocks the trf511 for strength easily. I used one from 1988 to 2000 Doing thrre club events and one major event almost every week and broke only 1 wishbone, and three rear belts and one front belt. Superb on carpet, dirt, clay and grass as well on a flooded grass track.

Scrap, No chance. A far better product than whats curently being made. A set of trx1 shocks and 7.5 degree front castor blocks and a tub chassis (the original first design) and is an effective buggy and can show these new cars how well engineered it still is.

Defo early Schuey shocks on there.
Dust it off for some vintage fun next month Bill, be ace if those electrics still worked too!
Academy, Tamiya and Kyosho wheels* will fit on there letting you run some decent tyres too!

*plus others using a 12mm hex

i think its going to take a lot to get this old girl race ready but i'll bring it down to caldi next time i'm racing if anyone wants to take a look and give any pointers on what needs doing to her.

thanks for all the vintage knowledge chaps :)

:thumbsup:

It wont take much Bill - refill the shocks ( dont know what pistons are in there so open them up ! ) check the diffs are ok, oil the U/J's, bung on some mini pins or spikes, an old 14-19 s/d/t brushed motor and your away :thumbsup:

Enough to start with anyway - otherwise take an afternoon/long evening to strip & rebuild it. Wont take long, they are easy to do.

i'll have to see what i can do, unless anyone else gets excited by these only things and fancies getting her race fit? (if you dont ask :) )

I was never excited by the Lazer sorry!
(waits for Welshy to come back and give me all the reasons why it should excite me! ;))

Bring it along, we'll get it working again for you, 80 weight oil all round should do it along with some Tamiya Oval block tyres :p

sounds good to me pete

Someone asked the other day what the worst car I'd ever driven was.... answers on a postcard :woot:

I thought you said that was a Predator ?? :p

Pred was an amazing car to drive, but you were scared to go within 12 inches of the track marking.

I am talking the worst car to actually drive, the one that handled like a 3 legged giraffe stuck in quick sand.

LOL good come back :lol:

Have to say i always liked the Lazer though...
