TBG but they seams to be a bit on the small side ...if you want an original you just have to ask or check ebay .

I have an new racecraft/tech shell but since i have the TBG i dare to take it out since then i just might be even more dissapointed.

I have just taken my ZX out of retirement and your projects have me wanting to get stuck into mine. I already have the slipper, the blue steering parts and a set of those super diffs. Im ready to get this baby going and need to search out a new bodyshell as the one I have seems to be an older TBG shell and although still clear it is a low quality form. Im sticking with the ZX style lexan and wanted to ask where I should go to search out a better example now days? Obviously ALL repro shells shrink so can anybody recommend who is making the best example at the moment.

Also, where can I find a new gear cover?

Bormac, why dont you go for one of the Parma Tomcat repro bodies that Welshy had made. I think they are an awesome body, improving on the ZXR shell and way better than the awful ZX shell. Just my opinion obviously! x

Thanks for the suggestions guys but I really want the genuine ZX bodyset. I know its not to everyones taste but I want this car to resemble that of the earliest Lazer.

I was looking for a orignial lazer body set for the past year. All I could found was a well used one and painted.

I actually bought the James Instone version of the chassis from fibrelyte and was able to fit a lazer zx-5 body on.

Anyways, I wish you luck on finding a genuine lazer body set. BTW Kamtec does not make one.

Finding a new factory genuine ZX bodyset will be more of a pipe dream for me. I just want to know who is making the ZX bodyset and who makes the better form. Happy with a repro but it needs to be descent.

Any suggestions?

Currently, I think only TBG sells it.

[Champ85]

Yeah, unfortunately Marwan hasn't made a ZX body yet so I think TBG is it. But he has the decals for it.

I have been looking up TBG but he hasn't got any listings that I can see. Is there an email address for John somewhere?

[oosh123]

Since I can't bid at these auction because I live in Canada.

Maybe some of you may want to....

Very cool! x

Guys,

Ive been a bit busy and this is my design idea. OK its a starting point and have at the moment three bearings on it, one at the very bottom just in front of the top of the diff, one slightly higher than that and another at the top just above the layshaft gear so keeping the tension in the right places. This takes away having to have the tensioner inside the gear box and less agro. I found the spacers but when the time is correct I will cut down the poles that I use on the chassis and wing mount for a perfect fit.

Give me your thoughts on this guys.

I only see clean hands and not the hairy arms.. I am not sure of you have other pictures of welshy, but I guess it's none of my business......

Welshy, it looks great!!! so the main purpose of this design is to add a belt tensioner to the rear belts and strengthen the rear gear box, is that correct?

Yes. Dealing hopefully with the snapping rear belts and i did notice the inner top section did rub on the belt so will do away with that section on my cf box so hope to sort it all out in one go.
