Lazer ZX Refurb project(s)
Been a long time since I've raced these things...time to have some fun restoring and bashing! lol. The black/red one is mine and the red/gold one is (was) my dads. Working on mine first...
This is a period correct pic of the 2 Lazers with my RC10T (refurb thread in sig).
Here she is right of the shelf (last time out was 25+ years ago I guess!)
This is Dads...was originally gonna start with this one but decided not too...
And then the Turbo Optima Mid I have...Although not sure what's with the aftermarket chassis...don't remember doing that...it's got a ball diff in the rear too...and I have a brand new front ball diff in my "box" of goodies...I'll get to this one eventually too. lol
Mods already here are ball diffs front and rear and some Fibre-Lyte awesome-ness!!! Will eventually do new wheels and tires (and maybe a new body) but for now she'll ride on old tires...have a bunch in the shed that will be perfect for bashing on the street.
Yucky! lol
GOODIES!!!!
One of the ball diffs ready to go. (also seen in background, stock gear diff and Option House Optima Mid Ball diff.
PORN!!! lol - This stuff is amazing. The quality is perfect!!
Enjoy!!

Re: Lazer ZX Refurb project(s)
The one with red wheels is an Optima Mid. Its a nice variant also. Long wheel base,, and looks like platinum shocks. Best Kyosho buggies ever! Really awsome start. Theres tons of parts available for both cars,, some a bit pricey,, but available.

Re: Lazer ZX Refurb project(s)
Yeah we started with the Optima Mid but had the Turbo Optima Mid, and then the Turbo Optima Mid SE later which is where the platinum shocks came from. Not actually sure which car this is as I don't know all the little differences. I have the stock chassis as well so we did the conversion as some point - I just don't remember! lol. Also only front platinum shocks...I'm going to guess it originally had golds (so not the SE version) all around but back in the day we put those fronts on an RC10 pan car...I recently got new shocks for the RC10 so this Optima Mid variant now has 4 matching golds...rccars4sal wrote:The one with red wheels is an Optima Mid.

It will most likely stay stock along with Dads Lazer.

It's working for me
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: Lazer ZX Refurb project(s)
I get nada. I get "page cannot be displayed", and can't even ping the domain; 100% packet loss. Maybe there's a routing problem between Canada & USA, because all of you who can see the images are from USA. Any other Canadians able to see the pictures?
EDIT: Some more troubleshooting, might help you if you contact your web host administrator. I power-cycled my router to eliminate something on my end being the culprit. Still nada. I then got some interesting ping results pinging various IP's in your address range. Everything replied EXCEPT for x.x.x.120.

Re: Lazer ZX Refurb project(s)
Shocks done. What a difference!!
Yeah they were nasty too!
CLEANED!
I couldn't believe how nice and rubbery these still were!
MINT!!
Just about everything is clean...will get everything organized for re-assembly. Need to hit the hardware store for some stuff too.

I don't know what you did, but I can now ping your domain, view your website and see your pictures. Looks like a fun Lazer project!
