Default ZX6 upgrades for ZX5
For those now running a ZX6 are there any parts that would fit the ZX5 and be a useful upgrade? I'm specifically thinking the front shock tower and mount (LA351 and 353) will these parts fit on the ZX5 front gearbox?

The would physically fit but you'd have to find a solution for the top-deck

Cheers Roger. A top deck solution wont be a problem for a composites engineer 😉

Popped down to my local model shop PBM Racing, they had the mount but not the shock tower. I decided to take it and have made it fit by shortening the top deck and drilling and tapping new holes in it. I also needed to drill out the holes on the mount and file the bottom square but it fits quite nice and hopefully will beef up a weak spot on the car:
