You can use the zx and zxr part numbers, i had some spares lying around but nothing anymore. Still online at quite a few places worldwide. Also zx5 but if too long youll need to cut. For the plate i had it made in 3 degree, 1.5 degree and my favourite 0 degree but you have to file it down more to get a perfect fit.

No dont as the hex is slightly deeper and causes the wheels to not rotate properly. Dont waste your money, I tried them and what a waste.

Buy a set of the Annsman Mad rat wheels which I use (The Mad rat fronts do make a slim fit as they are 2wd but seem to work if fitted correctly) or buy the Kyosho rear wheels which I also use as per the picture and Mad rat fronts or the wider front Kyosho wheels.

Welsh instead of mounting the upper front wishbone with the FD68 ( pin and clip ) you use an screw and an nut do you have the length on the screw and is it treaded all the way ???? ( i dont have the gearbox near me )

Formally here in Italy is the same, but if you ask them as a favour they take only few money.
Obviuously you have to wait that some one else make a bath of the color you desire.

Nice idea im just using a pair of old shock shafts and cant be bothered changing to the pins. Still good idea of yours.

Bad news though as the blue hubs cant be used so would recomend buying the correct hubs as 4 degrees is more steering than you will ever need, also the width isnt correct with the teamline hubs. Ive tried and had to change. Angle isnt correct either on the wishbone.

Yeah i was thinking of the shockshaft too but since i didnt have one laying around but had these screws, screw it was going to be. it is not perfect since it should have been an fraction longer so the unthreaded part goes thrue the 2 bracket´s that way it really minimize the play. I have located some shockshafts and shall pick them up later they are with an friend of mine and he had plenty of them.

Teamline same there they where laying on my workbench so thats way they are on the car these are the 7.5 type and i will change them later for the 5 degree type. Still it looks good

When you say wishbone do you mean upper or lower ???? i´ll guess upp yeah its close betveen the hub and the upper wishbone and i had to move the wishbone to the inner mounting hole since it was too long otherwise i think i will have to shorten the ballcup and maybe use the shorter turnbuckle. What lenght on the turnbucle do you use the manual say 20mm but if feels kind of long i have an 15mm type i think i will try it.

any sugestions ????

Its the hubs on the zxr dont work correctly on the top and bottom of the hub and think the bottom is worst affected as you cant use the inner hole on the hub due to it being too wide. I use the four degree as the steering is major and i like a twitch city car but four is as low as you can go. Its due to you having the three piece chassis as the first zxs used the zxr hubs front and rear, as well as ujs and yokomo adaptors for yz10 wheels but with what your using its a no no. I was gutted as i really wanted to use my teamline parts but couldnt

Turnbuckle thats like mine is best as any longer its crap. Youll find out with the correct hub.

Iso,

rear ujs need to be level and rear hub use the bottom middle hole on wishbone. Front wishbones level. Im finding that the zx and zxr setup doesnt work at all and this needs to be high to work well. Front and rear need to be the equal height off the ground with batts on board but do rekon a brass lipo tray is needed so hope to see mine sometime soon. Im using four degree front hubs and zero degee on the rear pivot pin plate.
