Lazer zxr

[oosh123]

Can't wait for the rear gear box with belt tensioner.

I also can't wait till my season to start and see people's faces when a 20+ car beat their brand new Durangos, Associated, etc

Happy Chinese New Year!! (Yes, I am chinese)

[Welshy40]

Happy new year mate. Hope its a good one ( they always are)

[BORMAC]

Happy Chinese new year!!!

Ok, so I was wondering if the Lazer ZX is prone to overtseer in stock formation?

I have driven my old ZXR Mk2 on the track a few years back and I found even back then it turned in a lot more than any other car I have ever driven. I drove my ZX on the pavement today and found the same characteristics as my ZXR.

Just wondering if they are known for their 'turn in'??

Cheers-Jason

I love over steer but found the 4 degree front hubs took the edge away (even though i only use 7.5). You may also find cutting the inner rows off, in my case for carpet I cut two rows from the inner front and one outer front row, and this stopped grip roll and made the car a bit more tameable. Oh a roll bar on the rear as well helps.

I am impressed by the dedication of this group of vintage rc'ers to pedal this classic hard in the modern era, I too have a pretty special ZXR that I'd like to break out again. I ought to get a pic on here for you guys at least. I'm currently about to give a 1987 Ultima the berries up against the new stuff. B-)

Nice to see you here! I have only been restoring my ZX for a short time and this thread has help tremendously. Now, I believe my ZX will be competitive against the newer models.

Iso, stop making me laugh.

I got a question for you guys. For the LA-11 pulleys, do you want it to be aluminum hard anodized? or steel heat treated? Or Aluminum 7075, it's a harder aluminum.

[rondoolaa]

i found some video's i took in 1993,

firstly i am sorry about the video sizes, i dont know why they came out so small, i will dig out the original video one day and re-do them,


the first video is of me and my 2 mates messing about with our cars on some waste land, mine is the lazer zx and i'm the guy in the black top,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erXmv...2&feature=plcp


the second vid is of a couple of races i did in a car park near my house, in the first race my car was sliding everywhere so i swapped to some nice front pink wheels but dont think the tyres were any different, but i came 2nd and got a trophy

the camera mainly focuses on my car,

Which is the hardest but lightest?

That would be Titanium.

I will see if my supplier will do Aluminum 7075. it's for aerospace products. But I will try and see if they make it out of Titanium too =)

I wouldnt bother, cost would be too pricey. Would the hard annodized be the same quality as what youd find for tamiya cars or other makes? That would be the best option.

[isobarik]

I think that the machineing of the pulleys will be the cost compared to the material itself.

the funny thing is back in the day, i always found my ZX to understeer, and my optima mid too. i was always envious of those other guys who can turn in like crazy !

yep, you should redo them , just too small to see anyhting, can see you lost your rear wing though, and do you still have all your locks on your head?

[isobarik]

Welsh should be possible to get an custom rear belt same tooth number but 5mm instead of the 4 ........
