My Lazer ZX5... Can anyone id & value it?

[Alan Reeves]

Hi,
I am thinking of thinning out so I can spend more on my 2wd efforts this year and depending on what its worth, my Lazer might go up for sale...

Can anyone give me a guide as to what exact model it is and how much it may be worth?

I'll put some photos up as I think they will help the description.

I bought this used so not sure as its exact model, it has a proline bulldog shell so no clues there!
A bit about the car....it has not been run since I rebuilt the diffs, complete new parts were installed including outdrives gears balls etc front and rear, alluminium shocks (recently serviced and again not been used since I did them) it has a carbon chassis, blue anodised bits here and there, anti roll bars, and a homemade front shock tower (by the look of it!) not sure what else but can answer any questions... a picture tells a thousand words so they say!

Now I've had it out and taken pictures I'm having second thoughts its a nice car!

That looks like a zx5 SP with aftermarket chassis, motor mount and front shocktower. Losi shocks?
Don't see many of these now so unsure of value... maybe £70?

It's not an SP because of the battery/motor config and the front hub geometry. I would say it's an RTR with some decent upgrades (shocks/chassis etc). But you are probably right about the price or pretty close anyways

Thats quite a Hybrid car!!!

It is the readyset motor mount.

Many parts non kyosho Fitted.

First ZX5 With KM or maybe Atomic Carbon chassis.

AC one seems more possible

I'm going to agree with you, the hubs at the front are not the SP hubs, and the outdrives look like the plastic ones you get with the RTR.

With the plastic outdrives, I'm sure the car won't cope well with higher power motors (I think), I remember when I upgraded my RTR to the SP I had to replace the plastic outdrives because they'd already started to split.

I'm pretty sure as well that I read somewhere that although the carbon chassis looks nice, it's not as rigid as the standard chassis and can effect performance.

All that aside, would be a decent little car for a beginner or someone running a stock (or there abouts) motor.

Chassis does look like the one in my spares box which is the KM one

Wasn't the KM a saddle-pack chassis/conversion?
