Secondly a lazer club online. Mmm i thought you already new and found the best of the best online information mods and best improvements for a zx / zxr in the world. That being the below link.

I know its one of the biggest threads but the great stuff happens from page 8 onwards. It a lot of stuff so read and sink in the info from page one to the last page before you invest in any upgrade as there are a lot of different people who know their stuff all putting their knowledge into one pot and then all that going into the design of the upgrade (which i may add is stiill in development on the diffs) of the ZXR-S. Named rightly so by HKP who is one big collector , racer and model reviewer so knows his stuff.
My appologies Mr Welshy, I am slowly learning who has the knowledge I seek and appreciate all the help you and EMA have given me thus far, Thanks Back in the day I used to race localy(I live in Montreal, Canada by the way) I just started to get itch again. But as you know it takes a car to race, and from what I've seen, the quality of todays cars is not what it used to be. Thats not to say that they are not well engineered, but everything seems to be plastic. For my tastes, the lazer was one the nicest designes. Simple, efficient and easy to work on. I'm still getting the parts I need to refresh my old lazer, but the original stuf is hard to find. MY KINDOM FOR A OT-93 BUMPER!!!! From the looks of things my lazer will be sent out to pasture and become what is known as a "SHELF QUEEN". I'll be posting some before and after pics soon.

By the way, do you know if Kamtech is making the original body that came with the kit. I remember reading in one of your posts something about a aftermarket body replica for it, or I could be wrong

On the brighter side, I did find the CAT SX and liked what I saw and bought it. I don't know much about Schumachers fit and finish, but if their still around, I figure it can't be all that bad. Maybe you can tell me what the best brushless motor esc combo is these days. I've heard someone say TEKIN, but I was partial to LRP.
