If you actually read through the Lazer thread youd learn a lot more. I think it all down to preference as the costs were not much different. The one piece on the zxs was basically a we can do this design by kyosho and also used Losi shocks, yok adaptors and wheels plus a lot of bits from the ZXR. I preferred the chassis as it flexed less and had a servo mount on it, but a lot of the top boys preferred the evo chassis which also had all new bits such as hubs, castor blocks, so nothing really was from the zxr, plus you could have more flex but it did damage the front gearbox if you hit something. Its a great car and very stable, only issue I had was there is not enough droop in the standard kit.

Nick,

Your cars look great, nice to see the ZXS in there. Welcome to the club. Now you need to get a ZXRS like mine
