He gave me a drive do one of his zx5's. The rest is now history.
I pulled out my triumph I still had and started racing it along with a zx5 I bought here. But the zx5 is not like the zx I used to run an didn't enjoy it as much.
So I got on the hunt for a zxr. Luckily for me a friend sold me a zxr that's been unused and is mint. Just in the process of sorting out some goddies to race it.
Some great information on here. Appreciate all the hard work people have gone into there cars.

No worries, glad you enjoy it as much as we do. If your going to race it use a 10t brushless motor, unless you opt for tensioners on the gearbox which is what i originally designed but there are now a few derivitives out there so up to you. Due to this i use a 4.5 motor which is a bit like a 13 double top end and accelaration like a 7 double. I do wheely every now and then.
Make sure you run the wider format front end, so may need longer front ujs. I would also advise putting two poles between the two wing mounts to strengthen and the vts slipper clutch and layshaft Alcyon and I designed and tested. Any questions ask away.
