If I am able to find some titanium gear stock, then the cost will be even lower.

Welshy, in manufacturing, the material cost is actually a very low cost. It's the labour that's huge. That's why China can make things cheap, poor chinese makes like a $0.25/hour.

Still working on the drawing. it's difficult to dimension them =(

Can you ask if your CNC programmers can make it with just the 3D model? I used SolidWork to model them.

When I was a CNC programmer, all I needed was the model.

[isobarik]

Yeah i will ask him what he needs to make em.

Got this car off ebay a few years ago. The carbon fibre chassis,top deck and shock mounts were in excellent condition and so were the option house shocks (they've been fitted to one of my other cars).
Lots of parts needed to be changed,wishbones,front & rear cvd's,teamline front hub carriers,alloy la-30's,Oosh123's blue belts,fully ballraced blue steering fitted and the ball diffs needed a full refurb. The car was finished off with the tomcat bodyshell and a dyed set of HPI 3030 wheels.

WTF? you were one of the people who brought the belts on ebay?

They look awesome! Hope they perform the same as good as they look for you!

The whole car looks really good

A small question on a side note: Can someone tell me the ISO/DIN/.. number of those self tapping screws used for most of the plastic parts? And do the various existing screw sets contain these or are they replaced with metric fine threaded screws?

Hi guys, just thought I'd share a few pics of my progress with my ZX.

I have been told this is a genuine ZX when I bought it. I have since rebuilt is with a slipper, blue steering set and uprated ball diffs. Also tracked down the shock towers from EMA (thanks again )

I want to dress this car up in a ZX lexan set and would also like some of the cool alloy upgrades that are around on eBay at the minute. I may lose the belt cover as it seems to create a bit of drag.

Can anyone spot my ball cups on the steering drag link? I think they might be upside down?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I only recently fabricated some lipo saddle pack holders from fibreglass but am still yet to sort the hold down parts.

Tyres are some old Hole Shots that Ive been running up and down my street with (pretty much had it).
The spur is one of those 100 tooth jobbies that someone here had machined
The Option House dampers are like new (front ones were nip). Nice shocks and they wont be getting replaced with anything modern. Great shocks for their day.

I really like this car. Don't care if the style I am going for suits anyone else but I wanted to try and recreate something which you would have seen at the 89' Worlds here in Australia. Gotta run that 'bulbous' bodyset with the dual element wing too






Here's a pic of my old ZXR Mk2 I sold a while back (Im soo stupid, should not have sold this one)

Its an Lazer ZXS body probably original but avaliable from kamtec.

The white spur avaliable from
www.rw-racing.co.uk

100 tooth 48p with hex for B4 slipper pads.

Bormac why did you sell it ???

[BORMAC]

Thanks for your help ISO. The spur is top notch and a real credit to the guy that thought it up. We owe our thanks for this one

As for the lexan body, it was included with the car when I bought it from a racer friend of mine. It is genuine and was the only one I had seen up until a few repro's were made. I always liked that style of body but with my latest ZX project I am going back to the original for period correctness.
