Dusting off the ZX5 to be reborn!

[Benh]

Hi

I am currently racing an S4 but have my old ZX5 waiting to be re-born! It has the KMC conversion (chassis) (it has all the cells down one side like the original chassis); the Atomic Carbon top deck, and Front and rear shock towers -other than that all is as standard.

After reading the recent thread about the new ZX, I am really curious to what the ZX - SP is? Is it much different from what I have listed above? I looked online but can't see from the pics much of a difference?

After lending it to some newbies at the club for them to try out RC racing for the first time, the front and rear shock towers were broken. For strength would you recommend
1 - AC towers;
2 - ZX-SP new plastic towers; or as I have seen,
3 - AC stuck to original plastic towers (oh the choices! : ) )

And finally, looking for a good set up for bumpy grass track. My preference of driving style is Front one way, and would love to hear from a ZX5 Master if it's preferential to go one way on shaft with dif or one way all the way?

Looking forward to bringing it back to life! And have a new 5.5 GTB system to put in there too
