The Kyosho Lazer FS2 showed how good of a chassis it really is at the Stotfold national this weekend.
I bet there were loads of drivers with best results throughout the meeting. Ellis Stafford and the car were great all day and to say the least, Ellis was unlucky to have the car stop whilst leading for the overall win. Well done to Lee Martin for taking the win and Ellis finishing second. In my opinion you guys were the class of the field in 4wd this weekend…... Both RudeBits drivers of course!! ![]()

Such a shame for Ellis. The FS2 really is an amazing car, hopefully the doubters will now see the light and give one a go .... sure they won't be disappointed.
Gutted to miss this event, glad to hear the FS2 showed it's metal ![]() |

I was gutted for Ellis.
![]() What is more upsetting to me was it was the only kyosho failure i saw all weekend!!! Still from a Kyosho view it was great for me to see drivers in nearly all finals. everyone i spoke to seemed happy and was getting great results. |

Do we know what stopped Ellis' car? So unlucky as the cars are normally super super strong and reliable.

Such a shame his car came to a halt..
![]() Good result regardless of the outcome... All Kyosho cars looked ace when going round.. be interesting to see how many we will now see at the next national at RHR ![]() The failure to me sounded like the rear gearbox... my guess it will be the crown gear.. another set of gears in there and some shimmige it will be 'reet! ![]() |

Rear crown gear! Not sure why it went as I have it meshed tighter than it said in the manual but it may have been something to do with the massive smash I had with the car at EPR the week before after half a lap when the car ended up in 2 bits
![]() Was a good close race up till that point though and pretty happy with the car for teh first time outdoors in the dry, shame it may be the last ![]() E |

![]() On the car.. best way is to mesh it all up ive found is to do it without the center shafts in the car.. i rebult Colin Mays gearboxes on saturday, diffs etc and did it this way and added another 0.2 in there ![]() What happened at EPR? i guess your chassis went?? accross the front (by the front rear hinge pin holder??) or by the rear hinge pin screw holes? Stick with the K Ellis.. you know it makes sense! lol!! ![]() |

Ellis, If it was your last drive then i just want to say thanks for putting a Kyosho on the podium for the first time in years at a national. I understand X-factory involvement for you is pretty special and we have to be grateful for you raising our expectations of what the cars can do in the Uk. I hope you enjoyed using the car as much as us k fans have. On a seperate Note welcome to the Orion team ![]() ![]() |

RudeTony, RogerM, Nick ... Is it possible to see the setup?

I think my base setup is in the big bore setup thread... will have a look. If not then I will post the next time I'm in the same place as my car.
I think you will find plenty of differences between the 3 of us as the big-bores are still very new so it would be interesting to see all together. |

Im running this weekend at the Batley NW Regional.. A few changes.. no chassis stiffner... 60g Rudebits Spine Weight..Front shock length back to 20mm for droop.. Re-done the rear shocks.. Standard BB Pistons are 5x1.3.. ive done 5x1.4 pistons with same oil (AE 27.5) and feel much better on the bench (a little less pack...) so will see how they work... ![]() |
