If you have frien in the USA then kyosho US have but wont ship to you only to a US resident.

The washers flange can be made using same thickness washers one ontop of the other and a slightly longer screw with a nut. Also a long screw with coloured bushings can be used for tensioners, like the ones i used to tension the plastic rear gearbox belts, and have a few if interested.

James do you have a link to the actual site that shows them available to order, I may be able to get someone in the US to order them for me

With the smaller washers have you done this yourself, if so any pics?

Kyosho US website.

Ive no pics but if you have an original measure it, both the big section and small, both width and thickness and get the two different sizes and a longer screw plus nut and it works. I did this on my second gearbox.


Shock cap O ring number as6469 or as7484

I just checked their site and it says they are out of stock.
I'm trying to decide which tub I run and which becomes a shelfer, the new Fibrelyte or the vintage twill weave tub. Leaning towards shelfing the vintage one

[Welshy40]

Use the new one as its easy to replace.

Ebay has once in a while LA112 if Kyosho USA has run out.

Thats what I am thinking too, just means I need to get a few more bits from Fibrelyte as I had different setups planned for the shelf and the runner and I can't swap the carbon parts over seeing as one is regular weave and the other is old school twill weave and all parts were made to match

BTW figured out the shocks are leaking from the seal on the lower cap, there doesn't seem to be much crush on the seals at all when you do the caps up, these are the 38mm bodies not 42 maybe they aren't made quite right or maybe the seals are just defective but they are new and not torn.
Would the fact I used HKS Silicon shock oil make them more prone to leak, does the regular shock oil make the seals swell up perhaps?

Bought it in 1991 but never drove it a lot. Over the years I tried a lot of modifications, changed back and forth.

• Steering Uni crank replaced with aluminum parts
• Arm bracket also replaced with aluminum parts
• Rear upper deck also aluminum
• Special Motor plate
• and so on

I hope to drive it more often now. The tyres on the pictures are just mounted for drifting on the street.

Radio is a Kyosho 2.4 GHz while power still comes from a brushed System. I am simply to sentimental about the times when we tried to built our own armatures.

Cheers and have fun with your Lazers

Guys, need some help, need a break down of la231 especially the part number for the dog bone section

Nope, change the seals, if just a shelfer use three seals instead of the plastic washers.

Another one with the Teamline front shock mount! I will get one some day *shakes fist at sky*

Its the seal between the bottom cap and shock body that's leaking, o-rings on shaft sealing fine.
BTW Stephen wanted to know which of your five gearbox designs I needed

Mine actually has a small fracture in it and I was thinking of sending off a scan to Fibrelyte in the hope that they can make me another. Would you be interested in one?

Does anybody know where the teamline stuff was made?

The last version he made for me.

Im unsure on the seals, maybe buy replacement seals from kyosho as they shouldnt leak with even the lightest of oils.

Have a look on fibrelytes web site as there is a vast selection, i use the semi circular version as it aids you back on your wheels when you roll. Its possible your design may be on there as well. He can make it if you also send him the original and recomend getting it made slightly thicker.

By the way nice car

[type49rs]

Just had a look at Fibrelyte's range but they don't have the Teamline tower listed. The tower I have is 3mm thick. What thickness do you run Welshy? Also what would be stronger out of the twill weave or the conventional weave?

Send them yours and they can copy and add to the list of things they can make for this car and know a lot of guys wouldnt mind being able to buy it.

I run 4mm front, 3mm rear and do this only because I am going considerably faster than most. If using the brushed motors stay the same thickness.Weave, go for the latest design as its stronger than what RC manufacturers use, the twill weave was on the very first tub chassis as thats what they had avaialable at the time when I had it made and admit it did last a long time (10 years with 3 club events a week and a main race event on the weekend) but unsure on strength between both types now.

If you could spare your tower to get a copy made at Fibre-Lyte I would be forever in your debt! Well maybe not quite but I would be really appreciative, in fact if you were to send yours over I'd be happy to pay for a pair to be made. One for me and one for you. I'd go either 3 or 4mm.

Ema did me a scan of the tower before but Stephen didn't feel confident he could match it up accurately but he did say if I could get hold of one to send over then he'd be happy to make a template. Let me know if you're serious and I'll fire an email over to Stephen to let him know I've found a donor!

That's a very generous offer but I need to order some other stuff from Fibrelyte anyway but thanks all the same.

I have been in contact with Stephen and I'm about to send him the tower. I'll ask him to add it to the site so everybody can have access to it. I'm in New Zealand so turn around time may take a while.

I'm probably going to go for 3mm conventional weave as Welshy has suggested it would be stronger than the twill weave..... and besides it will match the rest of the car

[HKS_TRD]

This is great timing as I am in the process of organising some bits with Stephen and a replica teamline tower would be perfect for one of my projects so thankyou from me too
I had sent Stephen a HPI upper deck which he copied for me so if anyone else wants one made he has that on file too, it suits the MKI chassis

[Ema]

If you can't get sorted let me know; I still got the Teamline tower somewhere .

Bye
