Yes please, would be nice to test it, think it resolves a big issue and may say more simpler than my tensioner bolted to my Lipo tray.

I also have already designed and tested my tray but you may want to tweak your design a bit on the Lipo brace as would be a good idea to be able to move the Lipo up and down the chassis as a weight as that's how I've been using it or is that what those screw holes are being used for and if so think you've almost nailed the design perfectly. Actually can you move the Lipo all the way so up against the mount?

Yes, I can move the lipo all the way up against the front mount and all the way up against the rear mount.

For the full front position, you need the belt tensioner to raise the belt so it does not rub against the lipo. For the full rear, you need to Dremel the deck mount in order to be able to slide the lipo underneath or get my custom deck mount. I opened a shop on Shapeways and put my "lipo tray kit" and "rear deck + belt tensioner kit". I also added short descriptions and pictures:

OK now I'm going to buy but my current rear top deck mount is 3mm higher, I raised the top deck up by 3mm for the Lipo and also had to raise the middle deck support and the front gearbox top so can you do the middle deck tensioner with an additional 3mm in height, so adding to the bottom?

Sure I can, no problem. I should be able to have it up on Shapeways by Thursday. I'll let you know anyway when it is ready.

Hi everyone!!

VERY long time, no speak. Hope you're all well?!
Merry christmas. Don't eat too many mince pies! lol
Been busy with other hobbies & children too young to touch my precious Lazer collection. My son is now banging our Carisma GT14B around the park being chased by the dog which is fun!

This may raise a few chuckles, but I wanted to know if building a NIP parts ZX-S/Evo is now impossible?

What sort of money are ZX-S shelf queens going for these days?

Cheers
Nick

Hi Nick, just psted a reply to your message. Almost impossible mate, yes flat bits you can get from fibrelyte, youll need a hyper clutch, ujs, front knuckles, bearings, wing mount, diffs from a zxr, with one LA11. Youll need the blue steering for the zxr as well, a shell and undertray from Kamtec and a better copy than the original as thicker and stronger. Then its search and be patient on if anything appears on ebay and doubtful youll get all items required. Also if thinking on running dont waste your time, its brittle and will break very quickly, it was a proto and never got beyond development even though it made two worlds A finals and won the Japanese Nationals in front of Masami. its suited for low grip clay tracks, not our environment. Yes i raced mine but i had a lot of spares but was a handful to drive on high grip without making errors and as you know im no beginner on carpet.

Costs, rough in £500 mark, immaculate around £800 to £1200

What’s the vintage unicorn of the hour? Even ZX-R parts were pretty much depleted in 2013.
I’ve notice loads of Re-Re’s have been released too presumably making some rare stuff easier to build.

Id like to see a rere zxr but as there isnt one my cars still the best out there and build, its been developed and proven to work against the new cars easily..all flat bits are made by fibrelyte, layshaft by Alcyon, pivot blocks are still being made on ebay, ujs you can locate in newer mip devised kyosho ujs, hexes locable are easy to find, steering is easy as the newer cars use the blue steering design but in black, ujs, i think you might be abke to get away using a rere mid as ive bought a set and havent had time to test my theory out, shells kamtec either parma tomcat with a tub cf chassis or zxs shell and undertray for the narrow version i designed, dont forget the mid shell was used on the lazer zx protos and is basicalky identical with exception of the air scoops. Wheels, annsman mad rat work well as well as others

Default Trouble to mount VTS slipper

Welshy,


I got the B4 layshaft from Alcyon, the VTS slipper kit from AE, and the 100T spur gear from RW racing.

The center hole of the RW spur is 8 mm, the same diameter as that of the original Kyosho spur. However, the B4 layshaft diameter is 4.65 mm.



Is there a special bearing I should get or did I receive the wrong spur gear?


Cheers,


Ubi

Think wrong spur gear, you need the rc10b4 rear slipper plate which sits at the back of the spur with a hex slipper pad, then a 100 tooth B4 spur gear from rw, then the vts slipoer and a B4 slipoer spring and spring tension plate and nut then its done.

Any pics?

I have mounted the VTS slipper with the AE 93T spur and everything fits together. The problem is that I cannot use anything smaller than 24T for the pinion, which does not give the proper gear ratio.

Do you have a reference for the 100T RW spur?

Pm me your email address and will send you a picture of it. Be aware the hex may need a small amount of dremel sanding to get a perfect fit but its minimal work.

Default ZXR wheel offset and longer UJs

Hi all,


What is the wheel offset of the ZXR front wheels compared to that of modern, say Kyosho or Schumacher, wheels?


I have cracks in my ZXR wheels and recently broke a la-59 C-Hub in a small shock after loosing a king pin. I think it is time to think about an upgrade with longer 73 mm UJs (la-257) and modern wheels. Has anyone tried this? Does the wheelbase stay within 250mm?



Cheers,


Ubi
