Not bad at all, unsure on your wing mount as the standard kit version works really well. I liked the alloy steering tops, but if running car advise on removing the ones on the spur gear as its rotating mass and will cause problems over a five minute duration. Belts are easy to find and as you know you can get all flat bits from Fibrelyte, bodyshells from Kamtec and i preferred the zxr version of the Parma tomcat which they sell, however undertrays are on ebay via another source. Wheels, annsman do fit so is up to you on what you use, plus if you prefer mip drive shafts then i know i posted on oople the part numbers required and that way you can use a variety of wheel hexes. If you want to zero your bump steer use the zx steering brace, a few drivers like me prefered that to the curved steering on this car. Well done, looking really nice. My cars hitting the track in a weeks time and aim to show how good these cars are.

Thank you Paul, the caps are the original ones without anodizing.

Thank you "great master of the Lazers " :roll:

I have NIP belt somewhere, this model is maybe not for running or more, just have a nice look. I'm not happy about the wing mount too.

For the bodyshell, i hope to adjust a Turbo Optima Mid Custom SP on it or a ZXS one :mrgreen:

I will look for NIB wheels next time.

JErome - can you school me on RR shocks? I know they had some super-duper dampers, but I'm struggling with the hexa shape...

Merci!

Jerome,

Can't wait to see it finished, Kamtec also do a zxs body with undertray and are of better quality compared to Kyosho's. Rear wing mount try the kit one and add two alloy top deck posts like on mine as that gave it strength. Also shocks you have are evolution, just that I think these have been dipped in something to remove the gold or black anodising. Looks nicer in silver.

Thanx,

I'm not sure about the body because i don't like de ZXR one. Maybe a ZX5 if it can be mounted (do you know someone have to do it?)

For the shocks i removing the anodizing, they were black/grey anodized before

Wait and see (next step : drive belt or not ;) )
