hi
does any body know of any alloy parts to avoid me having to spend 6.99 every time i break one of these i have a alloy part for the front that solves this problem but for the rear of the car i cant seem to find anything any help would be appreciated thanks

ps its the front of the rear pair

I understand you can fit the same alloy part (upsidedown) to the rear, I have one in the box to do this but have neaver broken the original.

From an earlier post: Keith at glowplug (USA), (first to market with brace)
He suggests running a second (same front brace) upside down as leading brace in the rear, "we use the brace for the leading side in the rear upside down, and use longer bolts with lock nuts (traction tip: don't use any shims) Bolt length is 14 mm."


It is possible to buy a complete alloy set: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KYOSHO-LAZER-Z...QQcmdZViewItem

There are differences in the hole spacing between the arm holders, to allow the wishbones to be at different angles.........not sure how this works, ours is still set at the default setup.

I was told not to use alloy braces except the front outer one,as the chassis usually snaps in a crash.

i only use alloy holder at front outer at end of the day something has to give in a crash ive only broke one rear plastic inner since ive had my lazer

thanks for posting on the subject i will need to look into buying the alloy versions by the sounds of things so its the same as the front but upside down i have heard that the touring car version of the chassis runs alloy all round but not seen one so cant be sure trying to get info of kyoshos site is like pulling teeth i will post a pic when i get my cam sorted vsoon so you can see my problem but by the answers you all have you all seem well clued up

thanks you lot
