Dude,

Your freaky unnatural love of ancient, average-at-best Lazer's must be confusing your memory.

The PB Ace came out many years before the Lazer ZX-S & had clear Lexan gear box covers - the Lazer isn't the huge trendsetter you so desperately want it to be. You also mean "polycarbonate" not perspex, which is inferior in terms of durability. Lexan is a trade name for polycarbonate.

Also the ZX5, and SP with the UJs, and shocks which were developed on the ZXS and the protos are part of my car. The diffs and slipper are also protos, so is not just a work of art but is the best Kyosho car I have ever driven.
