Which is the best vintage Kyosho Racer?

Best pre 90's Kyosho 4WD is definately the original Lazer ZX. 2WD probably the Ultima Pro XL (if its vintage enough)

Well the lazer zxr did win the uk nationals quite convincingly and the euros. Made several worlds a finals and was so simple to set up. A better car to drive and user freindly than the older mids.

I toally agree, Lazer Zx R series is very popular in Korean local races even though Yokomo (Works 91, 93 and new YZ-10) cars won in many competitions.

Because there were no circuit but dusty and sandy playground, the lazer's anti-dust rear axle box layout is best!!

The only bad points were fragile arm bracket and front axle box. the fence made of PVC water pipe or wood was the reason of that.

i have the turbo ultima too and i have won some small races with it way back in '89, i was still a kid back then. in '92 i got a triumph which drives better than the ultima...on faster tracks...but the turbo ultima beats it on cornering. now i am planning on restoring my turbo ultima.

That's right triumph has not good handling as compared with other 2WD buggies in 1990s.
