Lazer ZX-5 SP or FS ?

[AndyCandy]

Hi to everyone I'm new here, but I would appreciate if someone gave me an advice.

I have a Lazer ZX-5 KIT buggy, but I'm not happy with its performance on track and I would like to upgrade to SP version.

However, FS upgrade is available now and I don't know what to do...
Has anyone already used FS upgrade kit ? Which upgrade is better: SP or FS ?

Thanks for all answers.

LA254 - Knuckle and Hub Carrier
LA255 - Lower Suspension Arms (2x)
LA257 - Front CVD 73mm
LA258 - Rear CVD 60.5mm
LA252 - Rear Hub Type C
LA253 - Rear Axle Spacers
LAW31 - Aluminium Front Susp. Holder
W5184 - Triple Cap Shocks
LA256 - King Pins
w0144 - Alloy Washer 3x7x2mm
w0145 - Alloy Washer 3x7x1mm

Anything missing...?

[AndyCandy]

As far as I know law 34 is a rear-middle conversion and law 35 is a full SP conversion but it is discontinued and I can't find it in any shop :-/

will the FS accept saddle pack lipos?

You'll also need front wheels to make it work properly. Old non-sp will fit, but the offset is wrong

I very much doubt that any manufacturer would release a new chassis without first checking that Li-Po batteries will fit. I know that with the stock Lazer chassis I had to Dremel the raised retainers flat to get the Core 5000 to fit properly so if anything, that would be the only mod needed for the FS I am sure.

Not sure about the capacity of the trackpower saddle but I guess is the 3200 mAh one.
