With my B4 100t spur i recomend using an SC10 or B4 high torque slipper pads. Dont overly slip on your settings.

I sent my first and third prototypes to the machinist to fix the bugs I found. He said he can return them to me on Monday. I will do another retest when I get it and let you all know. This time I am going turbo on this one.

Also was a good idea to put my race car alongside so you can see the changes that I have done since his car was used.

See if you can notice what's unusual about his car, also fyi the diffs are waaaay smoother than a gear diff, it was incredible how good they felt considering its been sitting in an open space since he won the title. Oil was also still in those shocks as well but some had leaked over time. Also those tyres were as it came off the track when he won the title so only change being is he removed all the electrical gear to fit into his next car but left the Parma motor in and is still meshed perfectly to the spur.

Anyway thanks Ellis for doing this.

Hope you enjoy these.
Sure did, absolutely awesome

If you ever get the chance, pleeease ask him if he still has any remains of his 1993 4WD tamiyas. Detailed pics of that one would make me drool...

Wish i took pics of that when i had a good look at it in Ellis pit tent at the nationals when he was racing it. Still ive pics somewhere of one that tamiya exhibited recently. I know all including Ellis were shipped back to Japan. PM me your email address and when ive five minutes over the weekend will find and attach for you.

Cheers

James

Cant remember, but will measure my spares. Also believe we discussed the same thing on this thread a few years ago so do a search on castor blocks or teamline

Default team line blue hubs ball bearings

Hello,

i have recently bought teamline blue front hubs 7,5° w/BB for the kyosho lazer ZX-R ; reference number on package: Z-TLN076 (closed package..)

measurements of the ball bearings in the package: outside diam. = 8mm x 4mm= inside diam. x 3mm= thinkness

4 normal bearings, not flanged

i don't know if flanged bearings are possible, could work maybee.

hope this helps !

That's a lot of money there, all graphite or some CSC? I find that CSC is good enough for shock towers and half the price.

Its all Carbon Fibre but its not all mine, the second tub is a friends along with some of the other pieces

The upper deck is a copy of a vintage (Wasp I believe) upper deck

I do have another tub which is a vintage twill weave tub, that will be my runner and some of the bits in that pic are for the old tub, I had Fibrelyte do them in twill weave

My friends tub ZX-R is my first priority build then on to all my projects which are piling up!

Do you mean the tub you had made or some of your other parts, those tubs in the pic are regular weave with the criss-cross pattern the vintage tub (not in pics) has only the lines in one direction if that makes sense.

James you will notice that the tub on the right has the gearbox mounting holes missing and I have dummied up your gearbox design which you can see in the pic.

I'm still waiting for some stuff to come back from being anodised and then I can get into it.

The build for my friend will be the first one I put together, I'll put a thread up when I get into it

Looks great, the only other one in the world. Yup talking about the very first one, the one no one ever had a copy of as that was my request. Wasp, CNC and others who sold the chassis all bought from fibrelyte. Glad i did that as you wont believe how good my designed chassis is on a high grip track.

Race event ive just done was a pain as plan was to use the sworkz car but once i got it smokin and dialed i snapped the uj on the front and ended me using. Then after four solid twelve minute runs sorting out my zxr the motor overheated and blew my esc and motor so had to remove esc from my sworkz and fit, problem was wires were too short but managed to get a fit, added 25g weight to battery cf top plate on both sides and more aimed towards rear of car, then geared down a pinion for first run and car was awful, couldnt control it and broke the knuckle arm so no qualifier for round one. Round two geared up but car was hard to drive so not a good run as i stopped when everyone else did not realising i had another lap, DOH!!! then craps third round so decided to turn batt holders around for last run and OMG!!! It was almost there, put in a blinder and ended up 25 overal so a bit gutted i missed that lap in round two as i would have been a lot higher up. Electrics are now my problem.

I've just acquired this so is it worth the effort or not






It's a bit scratched up and needs a good clean but it's 90% there it's got carbon front and rear towers and I've got the rear arms too. I'm a bit gutted I got rid of all the alloy bits I had. Do what do people think
