i am now officialy a club member, welshy, i just bought that Mk2 that you said was worth the money! cant wait till it gets to me so that i can show some rear end to the new shaft cars !
i have a few questions before i run it.
1. Is the Mk2 spur gear 48p dp the same standard as optima mid or it normal 48p ? Will the RW spur be a direct fit on the layshaft?
2. The car came with the old style shocks, using the screw tightened shock clips. are todays threaded shcoks superior to these, or are they fine ? Cause i know for on road, having threaded shock bodies eases tweak setting, is it essential for off road?
3. Is the ZX-5 Shocks usable on this car? Is 3 racing shocks inferior to the old kyosho originals ?
4. should i wait and get the ZX-r loop shock tower from fibrelyte before running this car? if thats the case i will take the battery mounting system out and place it in my optima mid, until i can get the shock towers. which shock tower would allow me to use a Optima mid special body? or should i jyust get a ZX shock tower for this car?
5. I heard that the ZX-R mk2 is a rear heavy car and "too stable" that means understeers slightly. i know you like a twithcy car welshy, but for some one like me who likes a stable and easy to drive car, i should just go stock ?
6. you have said that the mk2 is an average car becuase of its layout? can you elaborate?
7. if i do not like the mk2, it should be possible to swap the chassis, top deck, motor plate, and the gearbox support to top deck mount, with the same parts from the ZX, to change the way the car feels ?
