rcently i stumbled upon someone who wants to sell a ZX to me. it seems all original with the exception of alloy arm braces. my question is if i were to race it on a loose, tight offroad track with one small jump and one BIG jump, is there anyhting i should change on the car? Is the stock torque splitter an advantage on such a track? do i need to change the top shaft to a zx-r slipper shaft? also is there anyone making the reproduction for the front gearbox? i dont think i will change the suspension becuase from my experience with my old lazer, the car understeers a bit, and is very easy to drive, and thats the way i like it.
I would get that lazer if it comes with the alloy wishbone pin braces as the plastic ones break. I currently use the ZX slipper clutch so dont change it and its on my car as well but would recommend the spur gear I designed by RW racing and all you do is take the balls out of the spur (its a third diff on the ZX) and buy a set of either B4 or B44 slipper pads or SC10 extra torque pads and fit the spur minus the diff balls and set it correctly so it slips fractionally on the surface your racing on an its set. I would also buy the MMS front shock tower (on ebay at the moment and is semi circular handle tower for a good price) and that is almost unbreakable so will give major strength to the front gear box so no need to replace that.

Im unsure, try it without weights and work from there. As per my previous pictures I use brass weights in the centre of the chassis closer to the rear, also under the Lipo cells and it jumps well. You may need to adjust the one way to get a bit of free wheel spin on the front so that you can get a bit of over steer as I found that total 4wd 50/50 makes the car understeer.

Oh yeah I forgot to add the pics of my front and rear hubs. There are plenty on this site somewhere if you want more.
