ZX-5 SP Knuckle & Hub Carriers

[berna1974]

Damn...I crashed the car against a wall and broke the left Knuckle & Hub Carriers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I checked on the Kyosho website but it seems that this part is not exist yet as spare part (should be code LA-254)...do you think that I can replace both left and right with Knuckle & Hub Carriers of the "regular" ZX-5 (code LA-219 7)???

I really hope so...otherwise I will be stucked untill the SP spare parts won't be available!!!!!!

P.S. if anybody has the LA-254 please let me know...

Try to contact your local distributor. When I asked Kyosho Germany, they told me that the SP parts should arrive mid May. It's about time...

LA 254 should be available in th UK, your local model shop should be able to get them from Kyosho UK.

the original ZX5 has completely different front hubs and knuckles so they won't be compatible.

microtech have the SP ones in stock here

Thanks a lot guys...I had a feeling that the ZX-5 K&H were not compatible..hopefully I didn't buy them yet!

Spares have certainly been available, I've had spaes of these parts since before Xmas and had no problem getting any spares for the car.

This part seems to be the weak point, although I am yet to break one. I believe that Kyosho are aware and are looking at what can be done to improve this part.

You're right, because I brocke the left one first...than glued it just to keep running...than I broke the right one...too hard to be glued this time!!!

No way to find in my town...I need to go online and the link you gave me doesn't work!!!
For some reason cliccking on Buy Now it gives an error message...do you know any other retailers to suggest?

[jim76]

your right, bit wierd. give them a call if you are in the UK and order over the phone.

haven't seen any others that have a stock on show, but imagine most decent kyosho stockists would have them or be able to get them fairly quick.

That's the point unfortunatly...I'm not in UK!!!
And here in Italy, where I live it's really hard to find spare parts for buggies because everybody run with touring cars!!!!!!
Seems like people don't like jumping here...

ah. best bet is try a hong kong shop then and get some shipped over!!
