new zx5?
I've been phoning round this morning to get some prices on a zx-5 sp, I spoke to someone from a shop down south, who said they have a new 08 zx-5 on the shelf with a saddle pack layout chassis.
Does anyone know anything about these? I've had a quick look about but can't find anything. Thanks Peter

I think they may be wrong ... can't be 100% sure though.
Nothing on Kyosho's site, or any word from the "team". Quite a few people think the ZX5-SP is the car they ran at the worlds .... the suspension is but the chassis layout isn't as they soon found out that the BJ4WE layout doesn't suit everybody / every track no matter how well it went at that one event on that one track!!! Most of the team drivers have reverted to the old chassis from the "worlds" one, certainly all the guys in the USA and Japan that I am in contatc with!!! Get the ZX5-SP ... great car.

From what he was saying, he has built one for himself and it has got that chassis, also supposedly they come straight from kyosho europe, with a zx5 kit and a seperate conversion for the chassis.  To be honest all i want is the extra steering lock, ran my old zx-5 last night, and it struggled with the tighter corners, having to slide it round just lost me time. Also while i'm on does the sp kit have more suspension travel, as the original one i've got just doesn't seem to have much droop etc. peter

This is where I first found his advert, so i phoned up to see what it was, (part no's)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ksid=p3907.m29 He thinks the kit part no. is 30076 and doesn't know what the conversion part number is. peter

I think he means "rear-mid-conversion" ..... as in the slightly narrower rear end mods. (Part numbers will be 30076b + LAW34). This is not a saddle pack car.
I would say that your better off buying a proper SP kit .... order part number 30077b (will get kit + LAW35 conversion if your car is coming through FDL). The price the SP seems to be going for now makes it THE bargin at the moment. I have just ordered a 2nd car form DC racing and his price is VERY competative. I think he has just ordered a few for some others too. Everybody who has driven my car seems to love it ..... I have converted Losi XX4 drivers, Yokomo drivers, BJ4WE / B44 / D4 drivers and a couple of existing ZX5 owners ..... just a Pred driver (unless you count me) and an X5 driver to convert and I'll say FULL HOUSE ..... lol

Nope, apparently the BJ4 style chassis layout doesn't work in the uk, even on a BJ4
