Just to get it right..


Thanks !
Oops I forgot the ZXS also had the steering and steering plate from the Lazer ZX.

Yes the Kyosho Twin Cap Pro shocks were developed for the Lazer ZX-S Evo and yes they would be better suited for the chassis that you have. The Losis shocks only came with the ZXS.

I know that some drivers did prefer using the Losis shocks on it however but then again some prefered the Kyosho ones as well. Down to preference really.

I race mine still but I would advise strongly against it for you as the shock tower mount breaks when you roll, the front gearbox sections (all four side pieces) have been milled out by Kyosho and due to this are brittle and crack so the kick up plate then bends. I have developed it more at a cost to stop these breakages but unfortunately the spares are non existant so best to keep yours a shelf queen.

If any problems just PM me.
