Welsh could you or do you have more of the rear alu shock tower mount ???

No sorry mate, have had only one made. I will be getting some redesigned in plastic soon and will send you one out so you have a starting point for it to be made out of alloy.

So Welshy, you liked the Lazer ZX so much you raced it competitively from 1989 all the way up to 2000? Wow. I raced from 1990-1994 in California. San Fernando Valley and So Cal raceway in Orange county Ca. What about spare parts? Where did you source them? Did you ever get the GPM upgrade Bling parts? I probably bid against you on Ebay.LOL. What did you use to keep your Kyosho Running?
Cheers

I had spares galore and too be honest only broke two rear belts in the years and two belt pulleys. It was a brick that I just redesigned over the years and also designed the first tub chassis for this buggy. That made the car a much better car for carpet, the very first design actually had cell holes cut out of the chassis to lower the centre of gravity a bit more, so the cells just came through the slots. Also the cells were further inwards by 5mm on either side and also 5mm further forwards on the chassis as this balanced it perfectly for all conditions rain or shine.

I modded the front hubs with Teamline 7.5 degree castor blocks. Lunsford Tie rods all round, I got rid of the brass belt holders and cut away the plastic lips on the inner rear gear box and cut away everything but both sides of the front rear section gearbox. I also had a redesigned front shock tower so if I rolled it carried on rolling onto its wheels. Different designed shock towers and I used gear diffs indoors and pure ten ball diffs out doors. 10 Double with a 23 pinion and 100 spur. Associated ball joints all over, wider front ujs and of course used the wider hole on the castor block. Pure ten steering parts to stop bump steer totally. ZX steering alloy brace aided this as the ZXR one didnt zero it totally.

Have a look at radio control zone.com and look up the Lazer ZX, ZXR etc thread as all the mods I did are on there.

Still I enjoyed winding people up with it when I won events well after it stopped being made.

I think they are B44 trays. If your after ones for the ZX-S I have already designed them and got them made by Fibre lyte. A one piece tray and i dont appear to need any extra weight to make it handle with Lipos which is great.

Also bad news, the package turned up yesterday and it appears that the alloy plates are not in there. I have already emailed them and am awaiting their response. Its possible they forgot to put them in so lets hope they turn up soon as I want the other one.

[isobarik]

Weslh yeah i would like to have it for the zxs and the zx-r i think i will scip the bigcap nimh and go directly for lipos since

1 i ahve a charger for lipos

fibre lyte have just done carbon fibre but the 4400 saddles are the biggest that fit under the top deck with a little room to have corally connectors on the joining wire. You will need to cover the connectors to stop shorting the cells on the top deck.

Im trying to get a brass one made but will not know until the petit event as it may be ready for that. To be honest im using the cf one and appears to work fine and doesnt need extra weight.

[Welshy40]

isobarik - I have just had confirmation that the last two kick up plates in the world will definately and I mean definately be with me in January. It appears that they forgot to add it to my shipment, also I have managed to get six belts included with that so you and I can trade for them later on. I need 2, my other friend is having two so that leaves two for you. You ok with that?

oops forgot they are rear belts

[isobarik]

Welsh that is super...

Ive made a tray that goes across the chassis as a one piece. Ive based it on my chassis but are in line on both sides as the car doesnt really work with the cells in different places on either side of the chassis.
