Before I go ripping my pretty buggies apart can someone tell me if the standard zxr layshaft and slipper could be fitted into my runner Turbo Optima Mid Special?

Worth a try?

Well my Lazer collection has expanded a little
I will strip it and give it a once over but the yellow car did not dissapoint, it was in better shape than I expected
It has uni joints on the rear, does the MKII or RR come with them on the rear?
I'm actually going to put my MKI tower on the front

You can see the stickers I finally put on the sides and top of the ZX-S wing
I need to put some shocks and wheels on the ZX so I can take a pic of all three Lazers together

Update - As you all recall the original tub mold went missing years ago and I was gutted, especially when I paid for the mold to be made.

Now ive done it again and from what I am being told the mold is coming along nicely. When done that mold will only be based at fibrelyte until that is no one buys this item anymore (I hope it keeps selling), then when that happens it will be coming home to me.

No one will be able to buy the mold or borrow it but everyone
who has wanted a CF tub chassis will be able to buy one by the end of September this year, obviously once I am happy with the finish on the first one they make.

Looks like happy racing again guys.

Now thats a question, I am unsure. Alcyon may know this as he has one and also he has designed a new layshaft as well.

Are you still interested in a set of the pargu pivot blocks?

Yup not bad, but a tad expensive. Cheaper to buy one of the new chassis' later this year.

I spotted that too

If you look closely at the pictures when you zoom in, the car looks like its led a hard life.

From experience things only look better in pics than in real life

Still a very cool Lazer either way

Yup, i forgot about the hing pin protectors. That was going to be on the proto but at the last minute decided against it. Good to have if your doing serious jumps.

The chassis appears to be the same as mine in that the front and rear extensions are wider than the standard chassis to cover the hinge pins. The only problem is if you run aftermarket hinge pins that sit the pins lower (e.g. the rear RW racing ones) the wishbones foul on the chassis. You can see he has cut the front and rear of the chassis back to clear the wishbones.
How will the new design look in these sections?
