Nice thanks for sharing , love my Zerda , been thinking of getting a second rear gearbox to mod to make a mid conversion .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
Now I continue with a ZERDA, who have received a small preparation to be a hard racer (modification from the age):
-The motor pass to the mid, with hand made alloy plate and alloy support gear (hm).
-A upper deck set (3), to upgrade stiffness...
Hi guys. Yesterday I took my Zerda down to the famous St Ives race trak along with a couple of other buggies for some fun.

That's looking good!
Now, make sure you paint the driver well in time: you don't want to have it rivaling the last-minute paintjob Jason did on his ;)
Pretty much a new build.
I had a lot of parts gathered up over a few years.

my story with this car was that I went to a...

You can successfully dye nylon a darker color, but I'm not sure you can dye ABS plastic...I'm pretty sure the roll-cage isn't nylon. Here's the thing: nylon can actually be strengthened by the boiling water in the dyeing process. That's good. ABS...
I am restoring a vintage Hirobo Zerda and was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to buy new parts? I am particularly interested in the drive belts.
I have always liked the look of the pipe framed buggies and ZERDA has to one of my very favourites.
I bought this Zerda in very good condition from an old racer mate for a real bargain. It came with the box and a pile of new spares too.
Not happy...

Would you care to share how you managed to modify a hex hub to fit onto the Zerda's wheel axle? Thanks.

I remember the Hirobo Zerda from races in the mid 1980s. It was a very cool 4wd and whisper quiet with its belt drive. It will be a great vintage rebuild!
