Lazer Zx-r restoration
Finally got some time to start the restoration of my Kyosho Lazer Zx-r, one of my favourite RC car for sure .
I bought this used Zx-r in march 2009 from a nice guy here on oOple; to be sincerely I spent some time in order to convince him to ship in Italy, but at the end I finally got my Lazer and we were both happy, so thanks again Peter (MMRCCSOWL here on oOple) . Finding all spares in order to restore an original Zx-r was really a challange, but .... you will see the result !! Hope you enjoy the build. Bye Ema |

Here’s some picture before the start.
This buggy is (was) really in great shape, with no wear on the transmission parts and with some really nice upgrades ( wasp racing carbon chassis, alu suspension holder and rw racing spure gear ). |

Nice. Well as you know bits can be bought as they have been molded. Still nice.

Here's a view of the front end ..... ops, exploded front end !!
All parts were carefully cleaned, the little rust on the front universal was removed easily with a WD40 shower ! Yes, there's also a set of NIP whisbone and upper rod ends... and yes again, also the front shock tower is new ! As all of you know the gold kyosho shocks were great, but the anodization came off very easily. However these front shocks were really in great condition (I can really say mint ...) and they still not leak a drop of oil since 1993 ! |
