here's a few pics of my lazer. most most of the parts are new but it will be a runner

Looks pretty good my man, any body-off shots?

If you're going to run it, I would switch out the aluminum shock towers, they'll bend at the first sign of a light breeze I think I've got a good pair of shock towers I could send your way if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. I'll post some pics when I get home.

Ok, what body is that?

jay, that is a kyosho alpha body.

Looks good!

Looks very professional. Nice paintscheme and well chosen body.

With the modern shocks wheels and rubber it will throw up lots of dust. Action pics next!

some body off shots.

Hmm...I like it. I was thinking of getting a repro Optima Mid body for my mid, but I kinda like the way this looks better. What to do.

Tulsa,

Nice car, the body looks great. Which lazer is that? I just picked up a lazer and I'm not sure which one it is. It has the aluminum towers, so I'm guessing mine is the ZX.

The ZX has the black anodised towers, like the photos above. If the towers are silver but the same shape as those above then it's a ZX-Sport. You''l know if you've got a ZX-Sport because it's the only one with the moulded plastic chassis which has the torsional stiffness of chewing gum.

Thanks Terry,

Then I'm pretty sure that I have the regular Lazer ZX. From my 93ish kyosho catalog, it looks like the ZX came with the gold shocks. Were the front shocks the standard short Kyosho golds? Mine came with the teflon associated team shocks...so, I'll be replacing those with the correct shock setup.

i have the short and medium equilizers on mine.

Yes, the ZX came with the short front and long rear gold shocks, the same shocks that were used on the Optima Mid. If anyone needs help identifying which Lazer is which I wrote a handy guide here

thanks for the info terry

nice very nice
