What's your opinion on the zx-5? as there are a few on ebay at the moment, can't say i like the plastic looking chassis though, reminds me of a tamiya

Crap to put it simply. Best to invest in the older zxr model but really down to what your after. If your up for vintage then the zxr or if for fun and getting back into racing the 2wd losi 22.

i have a zx-5 and thought they were ok, mine goes like s*** off a shovel, lol

i have a plastic chassis as a spare and ok it is plastic but as long as it goes fast and beats the opposition i'm happy,

although gotta agree the zx-r is a class car, but you'll find the parts for a zx-5 a lot easier to get hold of

Good going, if it works why change. Spares are easy to get for the zxr. All chassis and shock towers, steering, servo plate, lipo tray, belts, diff and layshaft gears, bodyshells, ujs, wheels are all still available now so no problems for us either. Stick a 5.5 x12 in like ive done on my zxr. Its pretty quick now as well.

dunno, i'm having trouble finding la-11 and la-26,

i know there are la-26 on fleabay but they are nearly £17 with postage for just 2 fronts, originaly £6 for 2 fronts and 2 rears,, just cant understand what happened to the rears, unless kyosho decided to just sell fronts as they broke more and took the cheapskate way out by not even printing new cardboard packet headers and instead just putting a sticker over the old one, lol

i have sent some money to someone to try to get me 3 sets of la-26 from kyosho america but they are even having problems getting them as they keep going in and out of stock

thats truthfully the only 2 parts i'm looking for but cant find, well la-32 is another hard to find part,

also i'm after some blue front hubs, are they available anywhere along with the other parts i want?

Hi Ron,

Checking my sources for LA-11! Let you know ASAP.

Regarding the blue c-hubs, you mean this ones?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/rare-vintage-k...item3a661f73fd

A lot of guys here on the forum can help you out with la-26, If not please contact me!
BTW I know a good source for LA-32

Brgds

Buy those hubs but do use threadlock when fitting the king pins otherwise you may lose the bearings later on.

La11 are hard to find yes but my friend did make a mold and we have found the right resin to make them. Problem is that he has taken on a contract thats now taking all his time and is working 7 days a week so is unable to make any more at the moment. When he contacts me when he has time i will see what he can do. He also made the front gearbox as well.

Yeah i know what you mean funny when it says nip hell thats not nip since the la-26 when nip will come in an set of 2 front and 2 rear.

the teamline hubs can be aquired from ebay there is an set on there now yeah they are cool but newer la-219 fit good also and are easier to get an can be bought in alloy annodizzed orange how cool isnt that.

Iso,

You forgot one thing, these bend very easily and is not really worth buying. The team line one is the way to go and buy it whilst you have the chance as they are unbreakable. I can break most things when testing and have never broken a team line castor block.

Thanks in Advance.
@Alan: Teambluegroove is back online, please check the ebay link below = lazer zx shell and wing! Undertray is available in an other auction.
