Lazer XZ-R

Post by DennisM »

Finally got around to putting the blue Lazer arms to use.
It´s one big mash-up of parts from the Lazer line.
GS rod ends in blue and a pair of blue alloy porn uj´s
Ball raced steering, geared rear diff - ball diff at front, one way pulley on the front belt.

Can´t name the spurgear, but it´s got a POM middle section wich doubles as friction slipper pads.

Thanks to gomachv for the G10 shock stays 8)

Where did you get the wishbones from, are they alloy or blue nylon I couldn't quite make out

I have a set of blue drive shafts too but mine are the longer length like the W-5063 ZX-R MKII items however the extra length is between the bearing area and the universal rather than the shaft and they foul on standard C-hubs so they useless unless I enlarge the opening. They do work on a pair of alloy hubs I have but those hubs don't have the extra hole for the wide front end configuration, I have no idea what brand they are or if maybe they are for a different car

Your lazer looks really nice I like it

The arms are plastic, originally white - Here´s a link to the discussion about the arms

All the used front arm braces I have, seems to have had the pins torn out of them, even an Option House alloy brace.
So when building this one, I drilled a new set of braces - should it ever fall of the shelf :lol:

Those might be for the Kyosho Superten. There's an option for the FW-03 that uses larger bearings on the inside of the hub (so the CVD can fit further into it), IIRC.

I will post a pic later on tonight but can say that it takes standard bearings there is just a gap between the bearing section and where the UJ section starts

Nice, brings back memories including those wishbones, they flexed a lot but did look good.
