Chassis is different, basically a three piece chassis with two servo holes to attach the servo instaed of one hole and a tie wrap and glue to hold it in - very much like the YZ10.
(The three piece chassis ended up in the Mk2 version - ZX-S Evolution and only 200 were made of that model)
Mine also has protos front castor blocks front and rear, proto ujs, all blue alloy instead of silver (prototypes only) and a slightly different lightened hyper clutch which is also blue. Also proto type diffs with smaller and more balls making it super smoothe. ZX and ZXR hexes with pins to hold them on instead of the yokomo wheel adaptor and prototype kyosho shocks. also the Ujs are longer than the ZXR and ZX-S. Ok these items with a few little mods except the proto Ujs all ended up on the ZX-S Evo and was a better car due to the little changes. The ZXS had the better balance on the chassis but the overall car was not as good as the Evo. Oh yes mine also has a carbon fibre kick up plate instead of the alloy one, which I cut from a chassis that was beyond repair. One of the 300 ZXS chassis I may add.
Also worth mentioning the shocks, castor block and rear hubs are now being used on the ZX-5 and rear hubs on the 2wd buggy and are almost identical to the original protos. I think thats it.
Cost, thats a good one. My mates rekon a couple of grand for my new unused proto (I havent needed to break it for spares) and possibly the same again for the one I am using, if not more due to the amount of spares I have but that wont be sold as I enjoy using it.
The ZX-S you can pick up from £80 for a worn out one (and lets face it you wont have much luck in rebuilding it as there are no spares anywhere in the world) and a never used one from £200 onwards, depending on how much you want to spend. Personally I wouldnt go beyond £250 as you cant race it, as the rear end would break on a roll, hence why I have modded the rear on mine in alloy (Manolis is the master with Alloy!!!!!)
