Zx-5 Parts

[Swerving]

Following a rather nasty incident whilst racing on Thursday night I need some parts for my rather ancient Lazer zx-5.

I bought it 2nd hand so I don't know the vintage of it, but I believe the RTR version is still identical.

I have been trying to source the parts, ( LA302, a drive shaft, and TF008, front king pin items).

JE spares don't list them at all, or are not in stock, others don't have them in stock in the UK.

There seem to have been so many models of the Zx-5 that searching for the drive shafts gives a number of different lengths/part no's.

If the supply of parts for my ZX-5 is drying up in the Uk I will have to think about buying another buggy and possibly a different make, whioch would be a shame as the Lazer has been admired for it's speed and lack of noise!

In the meantime parts orders from Hong Kong and Portugal!

The LA302 are the cheap readyset driveshafts that normally are changed to pro ones, so its normal for shops not to stock.

This car is still current, you can order any spare even if it not in stock or listed online, just ask the shop to order for you.

Did you ring JE Spares? I am 100% confident that they would do their very best to get you the parts ASAP but as Neil says most shops carry the upgrade / race parts as that is what 99% of people want to fit.

On-line stock checkers are really only useful for parts carried in serious bulk IMHO.

Thanks Guys, I did my usual thing, come home from the track, having ascertained what parts I need, jump online and check JE spares site, then I doodle the part no's and order.

Neil, thanks for the info about the stock as opposed to uprated shafts... but the length seems differetn too! Very odd!
