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.

I forgot about the PB Ace, yup you are correct and I know there may be another but am uncertain at the mo which manufacturer.
I didnt say it was a trend setter, but its funny that things re appear on other manufacturers cars when they were originally developed by another company (Kyosho included), and a lot of the designs now are actually inferior to the original.
I am now going to drive the Tamiya which is a work of art but until we manage to get the gearbox covers which havent been finished yet the car is staying unused, as it does get well dirty, unlike the ZXS which I havent had to rebuild once this year, or come to think of it last year either. I think Yokomo have the same problem as well. Anyway back to the oldies
The cars I own are prototypes so of course they are (not always) better than the standard kit, and as its rare as rare can be (only 300 were made for the public and then the team protos), but its far superior to the ZXR, ZXRR series without a doubt. I am gonna keep running it, and hopefully sometime soon if allowed will run it at the vinatge race, if they change the rule to 93-93 then I will be there, even if I come last due to my terrible driving.
Itll be fun as the old cars are what I competed with, at the nats etc.
