When you lost the lead the second time because the sucker draged to ground you will change it since that sucker is wide ....but on the other side there are lots of room for the electrics....

ISO you crack me up LOL!

My ZX is not being built so much for competition but more nostalgia. It is a big wide body and it will have more wind drag than the ZX but I am funny like that. I just like the looks of the old ZX styling

I want to dress this car up in a ZX lexan set and would also like some of the cool alloy upgrades that are around on eBay at the minute. I may lose the belt cover as it seems to create a bit of drag.

Can anyone spot my ball cups on the steering drag link? I think they might be upside down?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I only recently fabricated some lipo saddle pack holders from fibreglass but am still yet to sort the hold down parts.






I really love the legend shock towers,if you using the original zx body,I think the original 2“ wheels and tires will be better

Cheers dude, spur was a five second design. Gearbox and slipper clutch will take longer.

I have a question.

I am thinking of changing the bolts on the lazer with something better.

Titanium? But since the car likes to be heavy, should I use Stainless steel?

stainless steel bends easily.

Use stainless steel hex screws, bigger hex heads. Titanium snaps and tends to be the head so removing can be costly. The only stainless steel screws that bend can be the shock mount screws or gearbox front screws if crashing at speed.
