Still doubt youll need that if my tensioner works well on the rear gearbox. Wheels are easy to get as well as bearings snd ujs and bodyshells like the Parma Tomcat and Lazer ZXS shell which does fit with a bit of adjustment.

That is very interseting. My experience has been decidedly different for the Lazer. Belts are certainly easy to find, from places like sdpsi. Anything that's a plate (shock towers, upper and lower decks) are obviously available from FibreLyte. But if you want a new bumper, or new arms, layshaft, slipper clutch, diff pulleys, etc...not easy to find at all...at least for me, and they are way overpriced as a result (but that's Kyosho in general...even the new stuff). Even if the parts were easy to find, it is not an easy car to work in in comparison to the CAT and YZ10.
Let me be clear that I am not a Kyosho "hater." They make a great product. The Lazer is a great chassis; however, in my experience at least, the YZ10 and CAT 2000 are easier to work on by miles and perform just as well.
