Zxr is such a simple car to run and hardly anything goes wrong. Brilliant design and explains why it won the uk nationals and the euros plus made a couple of world A's as well. Good choice.

Just an front susp for now but ...wait and see

Does the S share the same belts as the R...

No they have longer front and shorter rear belts compared to the R.

R those front hubs still available, or from a newer Lazer...i want to put a set on my zx-r. Little more wb up front wud B cool

I currently have ZX-5 front hub/castor blocks installed on the front of my ZX/R. I necessitates a longer front axle, but brings it to standard width for new rims etc. They come in several castor degrees, and are readily available. -Jeff

Do you use the zx-5 universals too. Are they same outer dimensions for length and bearing size.

These are Teamline hubs from back in the -90 the ones that are sitting in the front susp in the picture are 7.5 degrees and i have like 4 pieces of the 7.5 and 3 of the 5 degree.
they are ballraced and has 2 holes depending on what lennght of axles you had.

They fit just use the 65.5 in the front. Thats what are in the picture and LAW-30 clamp on wheel hexes...the hexes are not nesecery but they look good ....for the rear you have to use the 62.5 bone and the LA231.02 axle

I am actually using an older kyosho axle, but you cat use the newer ZX-5 axles and bones if you want. This would also allow you to use clamping hexes, etc. -Jeff

the only items the zxs shares with the zxr are the bearings, diffs, hyper clutch, layshaft gear not gears, wishbones, steering plastic bits, wheels and wing mount. The hubs come from the optima, zx5 (as these items were tested first on the zxs) and ultima rb5 rear hubs. The ujs can be found by finding the correct length from the lazer zx5, as they do eight different lengths.

Great car on clay but im still working on new designs for high grip surfaces as well as lipo tray and better weight distribution. Im also testing a new diff design and is super smooth.

Since i have done the front gearbox here is the rear



Just the chassi missing then ..... soon very soon....

Well guys just a quick note for all who are still searching for that sought after buggy, the Lazer ZXS Evolution. Im ebaying my new unused prototype hopefully in a months time. Not only is it unused, but very blue including the hyper clutch. Also this has proto ujs and diff gears and outdrives. New unpainted shell and uncut and undertray also uncut.

Keep an eye out for it.

Any Lazer ZX-S fans out there looking for a rear belt? PM me as I have anew and still in packet up for sale for £25 GBP plus P&P on top to whatever country in the world. These are incredibly rare and only a small amount were ever made so now there is a chance for you to buy one.
