Which steering plate do you use, ZX, ZX-R or custom?

Do you have any current pics of your mid?

I think he has the zx plate as thats what i use.

Guys, what's going on with oosh?? I would like to order some nice looking blue lazer belts.....:cry:

I did a dummy up using the regular Lazer turnbuckles and the Lazer plate on a Mid chassis and I found the plate fouled on the front gearbox case, I have trimmed a plate so it clears but I suspect the same issue would be there with the blue turnbuckles so curious to see what his solution was

That brings me to another question I have been meaning to ask, I notice that the blue turnbuckles place the plate at a different height to the regular black lazer steering parts, does this cause any issues and do you mount the plate on top or under the turnbuckles? Also they don't come with a top spacer what is a good substitute I don't have the black spacers handy for my build

Me too, as well as see if it is possible to get his front gearbox parts or not

I'm sure he is just busy and will be back soon

i have missplaced the manual for the hyper clutch shall look for it tomorrow..

it hade the partnumber for an chopper i just ordered the right size from the lhs

mvh isobarik

4 mm ...

When using the 39655 (blue steering) things will be a bit tighter in the front hence why the zxs uses the LAW24 wich will give some more space in front.

btw welsh have made an package so soon ....

i tried using the ZX plate, but i only have one for my ZX. so i now use the plate that came with my A&L steering set. its graphite and fits nicely. I will get some pics soon. in order to clear the mids gearbox you will have to play with the bellcrank height, not only that, you will have to find the right height so that bumpsteer is kept to a minimum i used the spacers that came with the 39655 set. you also have to mount the connecting rod from the servo to the bellcrank underneath becuase if you put it on top you cant mount the topdeck.

Mate if you need another zx cf plate let me know and I will send you one with the layshaft.

Superb, how much do I owe you.

Some pics would be great. I have an A&L steering set for my SWB Mid build.
I have a standard ZX plate that I put a recess into so that it would clear the mid gearbox with ZX bellcranks when I test fitted but at the time I didn't realise that the 39655 bellcranks are a different height.
You can see the mod I did to the ZX plate in the pic below against a standard one.

Does somebody knows the part numbers from the Kyosho Velvet shocks who might fit on the kyosho lazer zx?
Edit: I need also the part number from the topdeck when I use chassis LA-60! Is it LA-57??

Hope so.....:(

velvet shocks
 

are these the shocks you mean, see picture??

they are from a lazer ZX-5, not the big bores !

you can find the part numbers in the manual from a lazer ZX-5 and also ZX-5 SP or FS or maybee from a ultima RB-5 they are somewhat smaller in lenght i think.

LA-60 is for the ZX-RR and LA-57 is from the ZX-R if i'm correct and i don't think it goes on a lazer ZX but see what others say.

if you want fibre lyte has the LA-60 in carbon and matching topdeck in carbon but for the ZX-RR ! i think the distances of screwholes are different.

Hi Oli I have a ZX-RR upperdeck I don't have any plans for. Its not new but its in great condition. For the shocks I think the part number is W-5181,2or 3 for short medium and long respectively.

Hi Buddy, Can you email me a picture and price from the upper deck?

I don't think that W-5181,2or 3 is the correct part number! The velvet shocks have the following part numbers

W5303V
W5304V
W5305V
OR
W5194V
W5195V
W5196V
OR
W5303GM
W5304GM

I don't have a clue wich ones will fit the lazer ZX:bored:

Cheers
Oli

THX Ken!

Hi Oli, I'm out of town at the moment but will email you pics when I get back. I did post a pic in this thread a while ago however. I see what you mean about the part numbers, one set of three numbers is standard bore and the other set big bore. No sure on the last two numbers. The numbers I quoted might have been for the equalizer shocks. I have to say all the Kyosho spring and shock part numbers confuse me!

Found it Daniel! Looks mint to me.....
No worries let me know the price once you get back.

Thx

I guess the normal velvets shocks are

W5194V Triple Cap Thread Shock (30mm)
W5195V Triple Cap Thread Shock (42mm)
W5196V Triple Cap Thread Shock (38mm)

Not sure which size is the best for the Lazer ZX.....
Any suggestions are welcome!:bored:

Guys I just bought a set of alloy pivot blocks that are now being made, forgotten the name of the company but they are not an exact copy of the originals and don't fit correctly. I have emailed the chap making them asking if he can rectify as I cannot use if they don't fit correctly. Front rear gearbox pivot block the holes are drilled in the wrong place as they are just off centre so not an easy fit and the rear two blocks the wishbone holes are closer to the gearbox and the rear block cannot be turned upside down so cannot use on jumps without kick up. Im a bit gutted about this.

Was it the ones from Pargu? I just bought a set but have not had a chance to test fit them. I'm not sure if the seller is that fluent in English, I have sent questions to his website in the past and never received a response

Well i hope he comes back to me as if he doesnt no one will buy from him.

Pargu's prices are bloody expensive too!

if he is stiffing you i will certain buy from him.............:woot::thumbsup:

just kidding i have bought from him and i cant say that he is the best shipper ....since it took 2 month to recive my part.

mvh Isobarik.

but i can say that i found my blue motor plate or more exactly my friend has found it since i ship stuff to him ....

i think tyhat the first and second are for the zx5 the third should be for the RB5sp something version .

mvh Isobarik

Expensive yes but not too far off the original team line price. I need them and am not fussed. He has replied to me and says he will send out another set. I will keep you posted.

Hi,

I've got some LA245s for the front of my ZXR so I got some blue wheel hexes for them. The question is can I use ZX-5 wheel shafts (part no. LA233) for the rear so I can use the blue hexes on there too?

Any help is much appreciated.

Nick

+1 I want to know the answer to this too :)

here are my steering pics for mid.

I cant see why it shouldnt work .

Mvh isobarik

Iso,

My search on Oople is not working anymore and is doing my nut in. What kyosho drive shafts for the Lazer ZX-5 are a direct firt for the standard size UJ and the front longer UJ. Do they come in silever I wonder?

Found it, anyone interetysed please see below curtousey of Iso.


Quote:

LA231 is 68mm long (coloured Black)
LA232 is 65mm long (coloured Black) - Longer front long one
LA245 is 62.5mm long (coloured Silver) - Is this the rear one?
LA257 is 73mm long (coloured Silver


Yeah the LA-232 is the correct for the front
Tha LA-245 i have bought those and they are the same as the UM510 ie they have the long axle with the 62.5 bone if you get the um ones they come with an sleeve to make it shorter but it wont fit with the hexes that you and i use the VZW-10 ones.

So for the rear on my lazers what i have done is that i have gotten the 62,5 bone and the LA-231.02 axle.

It makes everything easier.

La-232 is the straight for the front and no they not shiney for the rear use um-510 bone ( wich are shinney ) and la-231.02 axel

Btw 3racing have some shiney ones if you really want them

Mvh isobarik

One other thing you can do with the LA-245 is use the collar set for the ZX-5 between the hex and the bearing, if you are running the wider front might not hurt to add a couple mm width to the rear or if you are running the narrow front you can use the collar to give you a couple mm extra track

I'll be experimenting with all this, one day!

Thanks for posting those pics, that was a big help

lol i hope that wasnt sarcasm. if you need more details lemme know.

the cars better with a narrower rear end as the wider front males the car much more user friendly as well as more stable

No, not at all, those pics helped me see how it all goes together as its a bit different to how the ZX bellcranks and steering plate are stacked together
