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

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.

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