I've been watching the auction but am afraid that the body would be too short. Then again it could probably be made to fit. I don't know.

Why do you think so? The tomcat body was made for the lazer. I haven't installed mine yet: want to make a custom front shock tower so I don't have to cut the nose of the body

So am i right in thinking that the tom cat shell is being made again and if so does anyone have the chaps email address so i can contact him.

Welsh here is an link ...but it says that its for the swb mid.......dont know if it fits lazer maybe it does...

I'm just going off of dude's reply from the question I asked him whether it would work on a Lazer. He said all he knows is that it is for the short wheel base version of the Optima Mid. I'm sure it would probably work, but I kinda like the original Lazer body better.

Here are some pics finally! (Rich) I bolted the motor and gear cover on. Still need to put on the battery strap assemblies. I have the plastic parts, they came with it, but I need to dig around to find the correct flat head phillips self tapping screws to hold them on. Overall a very nice car IMO.

The more pics I see, the more I regret not jumping on it. Looks really good Brandon.

Hey Brandon,

In the scans section you can find a scan of Parma's catalog with the tomcat body listed: for use on a lazer.
Maybe earlier catalogs showed it for the optima mid's, but it certainly fits the lazer well.

KF2,
I don't think anybody is making it available again currently. I think there's just someone who laid hands on a couple, unless it's me who misunderstood.

Thanks for the great info! When I received these bodies from another member, I was led to believe they were only for the SWB Optima Mid! I apologize for the incorrect information ( pays to do your homework ). They do however fit the Mid as well. I'm in the middle of cutting out the Tomcat body for the Lazer, and it is going to fit very well. I don't believe there being produced by anyone either! But I have several to work with.

how else does this version differ???

probaby came with an english manual rather than the japanese one

here is one of my Lazers. Since my Lazer 1 is finished and i am witing for an body for it that ordered from kamtec (2 zxs shells) hade to do something and put on some different shocks and and front tower on this Lazer. The lazer 2 has composit craft chassi, technacraft rods, equalizer shocks and carbon upperdeck shall just fit blue steering blue teamline hubs and fiberlyte rear shocktower and it shall be finished.



oh and an body.

Shall take an better pic so you actually can see all the stuff on it, or just find that mini usb cable.
