Finally the car is taking its shape !!

Servo assembly !
I used an old but good KO 2173 servo, with a kimbrough servo saver and some RPM servo mounts that move the servo a litter closer to the belt. Here's some pictures : |

Looking good, however the servo saver looks like the small one, and will not give you the full steering as the saver lacks the spring strength that the bigger version has. I used the big version Kimbrough on my ZX and currently use on my ZXS. You will need the servo plate to use that.
Good idea on the servo posts, me I used B2 ones with the extra thin extension plastic plates that come with it to move it really close to the belt.

I was thinking that the bigger version was too big, but I was wrong. Furthermore that the wasp racing chassis as an hole under the servo saver that seems made to allow the use of the bigger one. I will fix it as soon as I can . |

You need to keep the central holes and cut off the side holes. You may need to cut the highest hole and just use the lower. When i get time i will send you a picture of mine.

The build is advancing slowly, however is going .
Maybe someone will recognize some of these parts ... |

In order to use the associated imperial ball studs (a lot more friendly compared to the kyosho ball + 2.6 mm screw system) it is necessary to enlarge the lower holes of the shock towers from 2.6 to 2.8mm. I just hope that the rear camber mount will still be strength enough .... P.S. Note the non adjustable wing mount .... it cames from a Lazer Alpha , kyosho part no RD28 . |

Uh !! One week elapsed from the last update, sorry but I was in trouble finding some decent turnbuckles.
Finally I got them, but please don't tell to my Lazer that they came from one of its main competitor in its days ..... it's a secret between me and you !! |

The arms ready to be assembles !!
|
#33
|
|||
|

And finally some updated pictures of the car .
I like the "modern look" of the titanium turnbuckles together with the black RPM ball cups . Note also the 7 degree wider front hubs with the longer universal joint. |

Hey Ema, where can I find a set of those aluminium arm holders?

Ema,
looking good. I would advise turning the very rear blue alloy pivot block upside down as this gives the cars wishbones an angle and does improve the overall performance.

I got those holders together with an used Zx-r I bought some time ago (more than one year ... ) here on oOple, I was lucky.
It was a quite common upgrade in the Lazer era, but now I don't really know where you can find them. Keep an eye on ebay, because some of the used Lazer that appears came with these parts (according to Welshy only one holder is really mandatory, the front one). For example in this closed auction there was a front one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=320503534179 And maybe also this car got something, but more squared, not as nice as mine : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=360256299953 |

Ok Lazer's guys, I know you are half asleept but now it's time to finally wake up !!
I finally found some time to continue the building, do you like these shocks ? Probably you will easily recognize that are from an Associated buggy, but with some little modification they fit without any problem. |

And now some photo of the whole thing together .
I decided to change the front spring to a silver one, probably better that the super soft brown used generally on the 2wd. |
