Default Kyosho Lazer ZX5 FS Spares

Hi guys, I noticed that some of you race the zx5 FS. I have just bought myself one and intend to race it this year. During a practice session in my local car park I broke a suspension arm. I managed to order a new part from a web site in America but me living in the uk it cost me almost three time as much to have it shipped over as it did to buy the part in the first place . So could anyone point me in the right direction to a uk web site that can supply parts for the ZX5 fs.

Thanks in advance.

Gav

Thank you Simon, just had a look and the arm would have cost me £5.51. Cost me £11 from the states!!

Cheers for taking the time.

+1 for Microtech.

I get virtually everything from MicroTech these days, certainly Kyosho wise.

Other shops worth contacting for decent Kyosho stock levels are DMS and PBM, both have sent me stuff overnight when required.

I know Kyosho isn't as well supported trackside as say AE but as more and more people realise how truely awesome the FS & RB5 are to drive the support structure will improve. It seems that in the USA Kyosho is 2nd only to AE in popularity (certainly in 4WD) at the moment and the UK seems to be catching up now

There are some very quick folks looking at running Kyosho electric buggies in 2010 in the UK ... watch this space
