Very jel of the Teamline front shock mount!

From reading this thread I've managed to work out that the front castor blocks and front shock tower are Teamline.

The chassis has a 'W' cut into it so I believe this would be from Wasp.......I assume the carbon top plate would be from Wasp too. I'm not sure about the carbon brace above the motor.... would this be a Wasp item?

The slipper clutch appears to be a Wasp item also. How did these compare to the standard ZXR slipper clutch?

The finned motor plate I am unsure of.....and also the blue alloy suspension arm mounts. Ideas anybody?

Nearly forgot.... HPI wheels too

Welshy40, do you have any idea why the ZX rear hubs wear out so quickly? It wears at the hingepin holes and causes a lot of slop, even the new ones are somewhat like that. Shimming only takes away some play.

Got a part number for those seals?

Im at a loss mate, mine have slop but spacing removes most of it. Have you tried the alloy ones?

Yes, and I use a pair sometimes when the tracks bumpy.

If the ones you are using are CF then that explains it, as they do wear quickly. Standard plastic versions are the best. You will have some slop but not much compared to the new cars of today. They are slop city

Weave looks like it was bought in the first few years it was released. Looks good.

alcoyn are you talking about part la28 rear hub carrier? drill a hole on the inside and use a 3mm grub screw to fasten against the pin, a lot of new cars have this to take away slop. Doing this will make the pin in the w/bone rotate and wear them instead so this may be a problem to most people, but as you can make your own that may not be an issue for you.
I have a lot of slop around the wheel bearing/ uj area if anybody has any tips for getting rid of that please?

Indeed its LA-28, and I am using the originals. That's a good idea. will try that. as for universals slop, I use 5mm bearing shims to tighten up the play. Change bearings if you have too.

Problem is its lower so prefer Kenons as you have an extra hole and works out

Has anyone got any (LA-112?) ZX-S gearbox post parts for sale. I need four of the little flanges that hold the bearings in place, two tensioner posts and some of the other posts if anyone has any full sets or bits let me know
