Been looking for last couple of years and grabbed this from Japan.
No one really rates these but ive always has a soft spot for them from the old Hobby City days in Auckland,
This one needs CVD's and the battery clips etc, but not in bad nick.
The double belt gearbox is supposed to be pretty inefficent, but some retrofit gearbox parts coming up on shapeways to fit RE RE differentials and gears now too.
Ill see if the belts are salvageable first.
Came with the Futaba Megatech and MC210CB and that impressive S148 Standard servo.
Maybe a winter project, covert the slipper from 0.6 to true 48dp too.

Nice score! I like those Triumphs.

Very nice! I've spent the last couple years slowly restoring one to running condition. I had one in the early 90s, so I have a bit of nostalgia towards them.

Did these have CVD'S from factory? Mine does not but seems like too well appointed car to not have them fitted?
Maybe ZXR Lazer or ZX5?
Cheers

These had dogbones from the factory with the W-5061 universals being optional. I don’t know if there were any aftermarket cvds.. The spur gear should be regular 48 pitch, the Lazer ZXR and Triumph were some of the first Kyoshos to switch to 48 pitch.
