Needs complete rebuild, but shouldnt have to buy anything to make it mint. I went ahead and got a new chassis anyway though.
Awesome! I've only had time to take this to the track once since I've gotten it, and I liked how it felt however I did loose a wheel nut and refused to pay the $20 for 4 wheel nuts that the hobby store had so I only ran two heats with it. Since I was the only one with a wheeler that week I got placed in with 2wd mod. I ended up placing 2nd in my first heat but the car felt like crap it would understeer into the corner and oversteer out of it, I decided my servo saver was too soft and changed it out and after that it ran like a champ, the next heat I took 1st and tq. I ended up spending around $350 for everything including the car, radio and electronics. I ended up putting a speed passion reventon pro esc in it, futaba servo (can't remember the p/n but it's digital has a 60* speed of .09 at 6v, and 130 oz/in at 6v) and a futaba 4pl radio. I've been really happy with it and I've started looking for some of the older zxr, zxs or original zx to try out some of the older cars.
Swapping out the servo saver on a ZX-5? You are aware it has an adjustable servo saver built into the steering bellcranks, right? So you don't need one on the servo...
As for cheap ZX-5s, mine started off as a lot I paid 57 bucks for. ZX-5 SP halfway converted to a ZX-5 FS with some options thrown in. Of course I had to add Big Bore shocks and all the durability enhancing options - so it ended up a bit more expensive Got the body painted this summer, only need to add electronics and find a good place to run.
Lol yea I am aware but I bought the servo used and they didn't ship any servo horns and all the servo horns I had didn't fit, but I did have a 1/12 the scale servo saver that did lol. Just me being cheap/lazy
