Call me a simpleton but why do you lot need tensioners n stuff on the ZX-R box? What power are you putting in there?!
James, you ZX-RS rear box is fine isn't it. Did the ZX-S ever have drivetrain issues?

Tensioners are needed as the belts strip as the power from a 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 is too much for it to handle and it snaps or strips. I just took the design ideas from the zxs which was a faultless design where ive still been unable to damage a belt and put that design into the zxrs and also into the zxr plastic gearbox.
Only zxs issue was the slipper couldnt handle the brushless power

Personally I never had a problem running a 6.5 on mine.
To be 100% honest the first time on my astro track the slipper was so tigth i was able to lose the pressure hexes (OT19), simply solved by losening my slipper a bit and tightening a little more the whell nuts . Note that I'm running the belt rollers (LA10) over the small pulleys (LA11). Bye Ema |

Im surprised as in testing i got through a few belts. Once you run out of kyosho belts the ones available are not as strong so tensioning is needed to give a longer life.

I did have quite a few 7.5° ones but sold them all, I only have 1 new packet left which are 5° ones,
But unsure if I would part with them, I would need tempting as they are my spares just in case mine broke,

I can see a problem with your car and that the tie rods going over the castor blocks. If you fully compress the shocks you will notice them hitting the blocks and does stop the suspension working correctly. You have two options, one dremel a v in the inner hub edge for the tie rod to stop this happening or like me drill another hole for the ball joint (i use associated) at the inner edge (you will need a shorter tie rod for this). I wouldnt advise using the kyosho king pin ball joint as that caused a lot of problems with the knuckle arms.

thanks for the advice guys. thats an old picture i had on my phone, my front outer link is now through the king pin ( like the mk2 lazer ) and i have drilled a hole on the c block to try aswell. not had any use over summer outdoors but its ready to hit the track for winter racing again. last year i felt the car to be slow through the corners so ive made some sway bars and using the mk2 camber link positions as a starting set up.
alcyon. i like the w/bones and c hubs you have made in the pic. |
