Help with Kyosho ID

[Naushad]

Just bought this project...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180919913711...#ht_500wt_1028

Advertised as a Lazer ZX-R, though I have some doubts.

Firstly, the chassis looks like Carbon Fibre LWB Turbo Optima Mid Custom. Is this right?

Secondly, if some of it is Lazer ZX-R, is this a mkI car? The pics are not the best, but I can't see a slipper spring which leads me to suspect this.

Anyhow, I'd really appreciate if the experts can help me here before I start sourcing.

Many thanks in advance

It looks like a Optima Mid Custom Special to me. Definitely not a Lazer.

HEy Honeybadger...

thanks for the info...I had my doubts after buying it! Particularly from looking at the chassis

Anyway, please give more info!!

It looks like a Mid Custom indeed (one-piece radio tray), but it has Lazer arms, hubs and rear tower fitted.

Now, if it's a mid custom special is it hard to source the missing bits I need. E

Could I borrow off other optima mid parts?

All the bits you need (front gearbox etc) you can get from any optima mid. The main difference between the Optima mid and the mid custom is the long wheelbase chassis and belt.
