LA-43 is listed as a Lazer zx part, but is the same 5.8mm end as used with the OT-35 ( Upper Rod Set) that the Optima, Optima Mid, Turbo Ultima, and many other Kyosho kits used. I hope this helps you Jason.

Kyosho USA still shows OT-35 as still available!

The newer Kyosho ball cups you listed are the same size as the old cups, but have a matte finish instead of a gloss finish as on the Optima/Ultima/Lazer series of cars. As for the Springs, I just tried my ZX5 FS springs (yellow orange if you must know ) on a set of Kyosho Golds, and they fit just fine. Nominally smaller because of powder coating though. -Jeff
