what are people's views about this car? is it old/new model? any good for racing? what are spares like to get hold of?

cheers

This question would be better asked in the kyosho section. Will see if it can be moved.

In answer to question the zx-5 is the oldest of the zx-5 range with the newest being the fs2. The fs & fs2 have the saddle pack chassis.
Parts for the zx-5 are readily available from places like jespares. However a lot of the parts are not compatible with the fs and fs2 models.

Adion has summed it up nicely, pop over to the Kyosho section and we will happily help you work through the models and find the one that suits you best.

As for what do we think about the car, IMHO it is the best overall package in 4wd at the moment ... super easy to set up, needs nearly zero maintenance (if built correctly of course) and forgiving to drive but there are plenty of fast setup out there if you prefer an edgy feel.

thanks for the replies guys. reason i ask is that ivebeen offered a zx-5 with 5 sets of batteries, charger esc tx and rx for £150. you think thats a good deal?

ive got a hobao hyper st at the moment but its frustrating me as i havent got enoough time to ake sure its tuned etc... wheres leccy power lets me basically plug in and go!

I personaly wouldent bother if its not an lazer fs (saddle pack batterys) ive owned all the lazers from comp to sp to fs and the fs and fs2 are brilliant cars mate.
