Your right, old lazers were built like bricks, they were heavy like bricks too!

I think if you took the old lazer ZXR design it would'nt be competative today.

Kyosho have stepped up to the mark and released a "modern" car, moulded composite chassis etc etc. I agree the new car isnt as competative out the box as some of the competetion.

Maybe if Kyosho gave the car to the likes of Ellis and did some proper race team development then no reason it can't win Euros again. Main problem is Kyosho don't seem to be operating an off-road team.

Anyway why are you so anti shaft drive? World Champ is a shaft drive car. I also remember broken belts on ZXR's and that was in the day of 13T motors and 1700s.
