Hehe, it's one of the posts that holds the battery holder in place. The battery holder is the front half of the right sidepod - it's fitted with one body clip on the side, and one at the front below the steering rack. It's all a bit tight - to get the battery out still requires a small trick or two, but in practice it should still prove more convenient than the the old system! |
Sorry for the delayed response -- unfortunately my original response did not post upon log in.
LA231 is found in the exploded diagram on page 30 of 33 in the Kyosho Lazer ZX-5 evo manual. It is described as "for front" on page 31 of 33. Also, LA232 on page 32 of 33 is described as "for rear" in the optional parts section. The pin-to-pin dogbone lengths are listed as 68mm and 65.5mm respectively. They appear to share the same axle LA231-02 (I do not know of a reference to verify this.) Though the manual makes distinction between front and rear, I think this distinction is only based on the buggy location (with no difference between the two but pin-to-pin length.)
Based on what I have found on the web, these parts along with Kyosho's LA245 driveshafts and UM510-02 and UM522-02 axles, are all interchangeable. As the number of lines per axle increases, the spacing between the bearing face and the axle cross pin center, increases (relative to the axle with one less line) by about 1mm. I have not measured this to verify.
On this topic, the following reference links may be helpful.
