Finally finished my new build Lazer ZX-S
Here's my new built ZX-S. This came as standard with yokomo wheel adaptors/wheels and Losi shocks - and a numbered owners card.
This version was followed by the Evo - unsure how many of each were made but I'll be keeping hold of this for a while as it must be pretty rare.
Body off pics soon

Looks great, 300 ZXS and 200 ZXS Evo's and a handful of prototypes, one of which I still run.

Thanks James.
Any idea how the numbering convention works?

Re: Finally finished my new build Lazer ZX-S
Unsure, think it may relate to the series of buggies but will email my contacts in Japan Kyosho and will update. Word of advice, if your going to run it you may break the front gearbox as its brittle as ice.

Looks great...is that a bit of carbon beneath? Like a girl showing a tiny bit of cleavage...we need to see more.

Looks great, the ZX-S is a thing of beauty
I will be posting more pics of mine once I get all the anodised pieces on it.
How hard was the box art paint job, I have a spare genuine shell (not sure how rare it is) that I want to do in box art though I only have repro decals

Why is that so, is the gearbox different than that of the ZX ?Welshy40 wrote:Unsure, think it may relate to the series of buggies but will email my contacts in Japan Kyosho and will update. Word of advice, if your going to run it you may break the front gearbox as its brittle as ice.

Not going to run it - it'll stay as new for it's life with me
The box art paint was done by Strawberry Racing Designs in Portugal - he's really good.

That looks pretty cool. Would be very curious to see it without the body on...

Here's some older pics of the car before I did the new body set:
Re: Finally finished my new build Lazer ZX-S
This car was a prototype that never got the full attention of Kyosho so never had the bad designs sorted. Gearboxes are totally different, front gearbox cracks due to the kick up section flexing and the gearbox casings were milled out and caused them to break when just racing the buggy and not crashing hence why I resdesined it for my car. This was sold mainly as a matketing tool as not only do it look stunning but did work stupidly well on low grip dirt, dust and clay tracks, so good Masami got beaten in the Japanese nats the year after he won the worlds by a team driver (i have the set up sheet somewhere with his name on) using the zxs.alcyon wrote:Why is that so, is the gearbox different than that of the ZX ?Welshy40 wrote:Unsure, think it may relate to the series of buggies but will email my contacts in Japan Kyosho and will update.

Re: Finally finished my new build Lazer ZX-S
I've always been intrigued by the similarity of the ZXS' gearbox designs and those of the TF-4 - any known parentage between those two?Welshy40 wrote:This car was a prototype that never got the full attention of Kyosho so never had the bad designs sorted.
