Oh great stock repro by the way. I think it's best to keep it that way!

Here's my ZX-S Evo shell painted up to the press release art design.
I'm sorry to everyone who thinks box art is a cop-out , but rest assured all my new cars are painted how I like

Can't wait to get them both finished now so I can photograph my collection for the wonderful 'bragging rights' thread!

I am really looking forward to this one coming along!

Sadly waiting on LAW-12 and some Kyosho screws from France :-(
Good things come to those who drink Guiness!

Go easy on the Guiness, otherwise your zx-s may not end looking like a zx-s

I thought I was building a RC10!!
Don't drink and eBay people!

(and I don't actually like Guiness. But building with a glass of Absinth can't harm, surely?!)

That green stuff can do harm!

Didn't anyone tell you?! The MORE of it you drink the LESS harm it does.
Can't believe you don't know that trick! Try it, I promise.

Well the 90's for me was a blur, we arrived, drank loads, womanised and raced. Great times :-)

[Crashtest33]

I will actually post my ZX-S build here when it starts (just waiting on LAW-12), in the meantime I've finished my ZX-5 (2005 original).

[Crashtest33]

I'm in need of a good servo from '96-2000.
Used is fine but standard size used for the ZX-S
Cheers peeps

(Futaba, hitek or Savox ideally)

Looks great

How important are the foam inserts? I don't have them in any of the 2.2 wheels for my shelfers

[Crashtest33]

Not very pal. Anyone racing even in the 80's used foams tho. Probably would have been grey.
I like the feel.

[Welshy40]

I preferred proline white, they were and still are in my opinion the best. The ansman blue inserts are identical. I didnt use them with schumacher green full spikes and a lot did and explains why they got beaten as in wet conditions due to having more grip without.

By the way your shell looks superb matey. Well done.

Thanks dude. That means a lot.
I can't wait to finish her so I can take a piccie for the photo thread.

(Which still should be sticky imo)

Hi peeps
Finished building the Diffs today. I'm using the slightly more modern 39506 WBD-5 diffs using a spring and nut as opposed to the spring washers.
Lovely to build and nice and smooth thanks to pressed steel washers either side of the diff balls.

Best diffs available so good one. When ive got the cash im going to have my proto diff halves machined so i can use in my zxr.
