Hi mate!
welcome!
I have seen the zx5 around £220 in most shops in the UK, some a bit less than that but I dont have any links off hand. Anyone ?
The screws aren't bad as such, but are just not suited to a car like this and some hex screws would be a wise investment. I've not used tonys screws myself but they should be a lot nicer to use than the kit ones especially when you are working on the car at a race - the kit screws will strip out quickly with repeated use.
There are a few with brushless now in the zx5, andyG on here just got the LRP and fastest reedy motor in his zx5. I have heard of a couple of gear problems but I dont know its a major problem, maybe get a couple of spare pinions (gearbox ones i mean) just incase. I would think that its mostly caused by the slipper being too tight and landing from jumps on-power especially with the front one-way diff installed.
The servo should be ok, you can get spare KO gears fairly easily, it would probably be better in a 2wd though as 4wd tends to have more stress on the steering.
