You know they always do the work and product is top end of the market so is just a waiting game. Your collection is getting much bigger now and cant wait to see my replica finished.

I will be chipping away at four projects simultaneously, the plan is to get all my projects built as much as possible so I can sell off all the extra parts, though I am considering building more buggies from the extra parts and selling whole as it will be less of a chore I'm really keen to see how the replica turns out too as I haven't 100% decided which parts will go on it yet

Mate, i cant wait to see i as well. Only problem you will have is keeping up with my upgrades, however the cf gearbox sides wont change anymore so your safe there. Also latest prototype layshaft also looks like it wont change as i didnt need washers to space it out so fits perfectly with vts slipper in a normal gear cover. Testing in October

The custom layshaft will be going on my second tub chassis which will have a regular gearbox with your tensioner for the rear belt and the same front belt tensioner setup as the CF gearbox The ZX-S now has anodised gearbox poles just waiting on a couple other bits to get done as well to finish it off and I have the sway bar for it now

The CF motor plate is very thin, was that for clearance or some other reason? I have a nylon front gearbox half for this project which has been dyed blue and will be using all titanium screws. Life can get tough on the shelf!

Just wanted to say thanks to James for chasing Stephen up, he's been back in touch this week. No eta on the tub but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Does anyone who still checks in have the front Teamline shock mount? I checked with Fibrelyte and they dont have a template for it but they will do a copy of one so I'm looking for a kind soul that wouldn't mind helping me out |

The cf motor plate was i thought standard thickness, but did base my design on using one of those motor plates in front of the motor (gold like the one you had with your zxs) but tbh it fitted fine for me without it but if you want it thicker you can ask Stephen to do another. Titanium screws snap easily so if just a shelf then go for it, if a runner stay clear as it will cause you no end of problems.

Wow that looks great, what shell is that? Any more details on it, that front pivot block looks interesting

I slaughtered an undertray for a B44, bent the bits of lexan as needed and fitted it to the top if the chassis plate. More pics in this thread (in swedish, sorry. The pics speak all languages though): http://rsb.se/arena/showthread.php?9...g-runner-to-be I made the front pivot block from a piece of aluminium and a bit of carbon fibre to stop the hinge pins from sliding out.

I'll post some pics of my ZX-R which has been looking very sorry for itself in my project queue for over a year, it has:
Full carbon fibre. 4 blue alloy pivot blocks all round. Teamline blue front hub carriers. Blue finned motor heatsink/mount. Parma Tomcat body. Kyosho blue heavy duty bellcranks. What's the latest with the layshaft to accept modern slippers? Thanks, Dan |

I use Associated spur gears with Associated slipper pads. "All" I had to do was to grind the flat bits of the shaft a bit (2-3 mm) longer, and use the inner ring from a ball bearing pressed into the spur gear to convert from 4,8 to 4 mm inner diameter. Works a charm, even if the actual slipper area is a tad small. I run a 13.5 motor, so I don't think it will stress the slipper too badly.

Got the latest and believe last prototype shaft. Fits in perfectly with zero spacers and B4 slipper and what ive fitted VTS slipper goes in with no issues with the gear cover. But you need to buy the B4 100t spur gear from RW Racing but make sure you mention the ones James Instone was supplied. Testing is happeng on the 11th October for a day so will update then. Im doing the Maritime event.

Body off pics soon. |

Looks great. Now you can see where my ideas came from in my ZXR.

Lads, what are my CVD options for my ZXR racer (below).....I've seen some newer ZX5/ZX6 shafts used - do the teamline hubs require different lengths? I would like to have modern CVD's all round.
Soon to have electrics fitted. Cheers |

I've got the following part numbers from deep within this thread:
Front: LA-232 Rear: LA-245 with LA-231-02 shaft/axle The front ones listed above are for using the Teamline hubs with the wider track setting. |
