Good as the gearbox front is a work of art. He took the information from Radiocntrolzone that I did and made it without the brass bushing holders and strengthened the top section as well. The layshaft gears seem just as good as the original and the first one is in my car and handle my X12 5.5 with ease and I have not broken one yet. Diffs though will be the best bit to come as I have given him my prototype pulley and is with more ball holes that are smaller and makes the diff super smooth, how it should be, unlike the standard Kyosho ones where they have a gritty feel. Cant wait for them to arrive to test. The blue steering chassis bits are well done as well and no issues there either. Im going to redesign it with a servo saver but haven't got that far with my idea as of yet but hope to do it this year and it will be only fractionally bigger in size. Possibly sometime this year he may send me a set of wishbones to test as well to see if they can handle the abuse I give out when testing.

Sweeeeeet !!

Once my Zx-r restoration (I will post some picture later) is done I will start bulding my racer, so impreoved parts are really welcome !!

My plan is to start with a 6.5 motor, gear diff (only for easy maintenance) and stick lipo battery (more comfortable to share with my touring cars).
Obviously I need to find a way for holding the battery in place, I will see at the moment.
I'm also thinking to use the original Zx-r slipper with some improvments, if it works I will let you know.

I'm start thinking we need a "LazerClub" like website to share and rearrange all Lazer information lost around the web (or on our hard disk until they fail).

I've been looking for stickers for my ZX-R but no one seems to want to help. So I've decided to reproduce my own. The print shop I'm working with are real pro's and are sharpenning the images as best they can. I'll have the first ones by the end of the week. If anyone is interested in them or any other vintage decals PM me and I'll see if I can have them done.

A French guy put some Zx-r decals on Ebay some time ago.

Probably it's too late, but you can get in touch with him here by sending a PM using the forum :
http://www.vintage-rc.org/forum/view...hp?f=12&t=5195

Probably it's againt too late, but iIf you need some scan of the original decal ...

Latest...
Kyosho Italy (and so Germany) have the Zx-sport decal in stock:

Thanks Ema,

I found that vintage rc site also, thats where I found the scans for the decals. I just wish kyosho would follow Tamiya's lead and re-release the old models.

Thanks again

Firstly stickers. Thats easy and best place to go is the tamiyaclub.com as there is a sticker copy specialist who does a lot of tamiya and kyosho stickers from vintage models. Also he is a top bloke who will point you in the right direction if he cant help you.

Secondly a lazer club online. Mmm i thought you already new and found the best of the best online information mods and best improvements for a zx / zxr in the world. That being the below link.

http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/s...&pp=25&page=52

I know its one of the biggest threads but the great stuff happens from page 8 onwards. It a lot of stuff so read and sink in the info from page one to the last page before you invest in any upgrade as there are a lot of different people who know their stuff all putting their knowledge into one pot and then all that going into the design of the upgrade (which i may add is stiill in development on the diffs) of the ZXR-S. Named rightly so by HKP who is one big collector , racer and model reviewer so knows his stuff.

That Ebay price is too high isnt it? $550.00 USD for the Kyosho Lazer ZXR kit. I wouldnt do it. What do you guys think? Please dont tell me somthing is worth what someone is willing to buy. I guess thats what ebay is all about.
Thank you

Well, before starting buying all original spares in order to build an original Zx-r (you can see my thread here ...) I was thinking that 550 USD were really to much.

Now, if I have to consider the cost of all parts and the shipping cost for all of them I think it's a good deal ...... obviously only if your Lazer will sit on a nice shelf.

This one was an used car and was sold "with buy it now" at 200 euro:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=120507914901

Unfotunately I cannot find the link of a new original in box bumper OT-93 sold for about 80 euro on the bay ....

About the Lazer Club ... yes, I'm quite new (not really true at all, as my first car was a Kyosho Rocky) but trust me I spent really a lot of time in order to get all possible information about the Lazer.
The 99% of the Internet user that will open that thread will read only the last (or first) 3 or 4 pages.
Plus we can add a trade room where Lazer Fans (both collectors or runners) can buy or sell what they need (also improved parts Dyno parts, etc. ect.)
And obviously there will be some pages about the Welshy special projects , so please remove the dust from you iPhone camera and show us some photos !!

[Welshy40]

Ok, but the wording on the below link is spot on until he says its not as good as the zx5 which if i still had it would beat them convincingly which i may add was far quicker than predators, shaft drive cars and proved how stable it was when i challenged for the lead in the regional a final. Still my preparation was not done properly as the rear shock ball joint came off and ended up 6th which was annoying. Still hope the pics do the very first zxr-s justice and will find the starting pages (21 has a lot of info on but you can go back to page one and read through and see where it all began) for you on the radio control zone thread.

My appologies Mr Welshy, I am slowly learning who has the knowledge I seek and appreciate all the help you and EMA have given me thus far, Thanks Back in the day I used to race localy(I live in Montreal, Canada by the way) I just started to get itch again. But as you know it takes a car to race, and from what I've seen, the quality of todays cars is not what it used to be. Thats not to say that they are not well engineered, but everything seems to be plastic. For my tastes, the lazer was one the nicest designes. Simple, efficient and easy to work on. I'm still getting the parts I need to refresh my old lazer, but the original stuf is hard to find. MY KINDOM FOR A OT-93 BUMPER!!!! From the looks of things my lazer will be sent out to pasture and become what is known as a "SHELF QUEEN". I'll be posting some before and after pics soon.

By the way, do you know if Kamtech is making the original body that came with the kit. I remember reading in one of your posts something about a aftermarket body replica for it, or I could be wrong

On the brighter side, I did find the CAT SX and liked what I saw and bought it. I don't know much about Schumachers fit and finish, but if their still around, I figure it can't be all that bad. Maybe you can tell me what the best brushless motor esc combo is these days. I've heard someone say TEKIN, but I was partial to LRP.

The Zxr-s it's a your project, so which comments can be better that the ones of the designer ?

If you still have the original manual let us know which spare parts are you missing (the part no) .... we had learnt a lot of skills in searching Lazer parts .

If you don't have the manual you can get the right PDF version here: http://www.retromodelisme.com/liste_manuel.html

Well, the OT-93is extremely rare, because will fit also the optima and there are a lot of optima collectors around the word.
You can try to convince isobarik, but be careful, he may ask a tank of your blood for that part !!!

Firstly T93 is the rarest item and hard to get. But I will ask Dyno if he can make a mold and make them. They are exact copies and you would not know the difference as the colour is the same.Bodies, he is making a copy of a used ZXR shell so is taking time to fill in the holes and cracks so is a time consuming job. However I have sent him another shell (Parma Tomcat ) which is a direct fit and looks much better than the original and should be available sometime soon, however be warned this week and the next few I seriously doubt much will happen as the snow is causing a lot of problems.The Cat SX is a superb car. Motor combo, well I would serioulsy recommend getting an LRP SXX and either a 6.5 or 8.5
