Lazer zxr

[Mattias]

I use Tamiya TRF shafts and axles. 70 mm in the front and 64 mm rear. The wheel axles are a bit short, but serrated nuts make it happen.

The reason for using "the other brand" parts is that they were VERY cheap.

I had to put a limiter on the outside of the front shocks to stop the shaft from hitting the outdrive. It was either that or dremeling the outdrives.

Kyosho are expensive for ujs but they are a perfect fit and also designed for these size outdrives so if racing I would advise changing what you use. by the way im using the same shell which is available through Kamtec in my links below and your car looks superb.

Thanks guys. James - I assume that was directed at me?

Best source for the shafts and I guess I'll need to use clamped hexes - boo my yok adaptors will be redundant.

These axels are a direct fit on a Lazer ZXR: (front is to long for the orginal ZX).

I got mine, using the part numbers I posted, from www.hobbycart.com. Cheapest place I could find but shipping took a couple of weeks.

Dan,

Yup, that write up stood out so apologies. Also spur gear using the new design layshaft id prefer the RW 100 tooth 48dp b4 spur gear was used as its basically what the shafts been designed around.

[DanB4]

I emailed Neil at RW to get a few of the spurs but no reply yet

Anyone knows the length of zx rear inner hingepins?
Is there any modern car pins i can use as replacement ?

[Mattias]

If it's the same as the front hinge pin they are 53-54 mm.

[alcyon]

Also i need rear belt type is it s3m or m3. Its because i used tamiya s3m touring car belt and the belt tooth worn off...and i was just testing the car. It was like the belt couldnt grip the pulley.

I measured my fronts at 50 and rear 54. Funny thing is i found a pin my box with 55mm.

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

Not 100% sure, but maybe a PDF scan helps :

In order to get the actual size check that the page scaling is set to none when you print the file (100% size).

The Lazer belts are S3M, also the RPP3 fits fine.

What are the part numbers for the ultimate shocks for a ZX-RR?

[Welshy40]

Layshaft worked well this weekend. No faults to report

[Welshy40]

Ok, well someone mentioned the other day to get some pictures of Ellis Stafford's Euro winning Lazer and so I emailed him and he brought it along to the Maritime Raceway Winter series first event this weekend.

Ok needed a good clean and a fix and as luck would have it and Ellis already knows I have spares as I still race my ZXR so took some pictures for everyone to at least reminisce on such a unique car. Also was a good idea to put my race car alongside so you can see the changes that I have done since his car was used.

See if you can notice what's unusual about his car, also fyi the diffs are waaaay smoother than a gear diff, it was incredible how good they felt considering its been sitting in an open space since he won the title. Oil was also still in those shocks as well but some had leaked over time. Also those tyres were as it came off the track when he won the title so only change being is he removed all the electrical gear to fit into his next car but left the Parma motor in and is still meshed perfectly to the spur.

Anyway thanks Ellis for doing this.

Hope you enjoy these.

MKII chassis but MKI upper deck?

[alcyon]

So... I go ahead and make 10 ZX B4 layshafts ?

Nope mk2. Shocks, L brace and rear hubs stood out but also the battery holders and am not so sure original chassis came with angled battery bar placement, but could be wrong.
