I’m thinking of doing it. But one of the servo tabs will need to be removed by a section to clear the belt, that part is holding me back a little, because vintage servos in good shape are also hard to find. I’ll probably sort out the shell first :)
If you use a Futaba S132, I have lots of brand new cases. You are more than welcome to one.

Thank you, tha's very kind of you! I'll do some research on what the electronics are circa 2000-2002 when this car was available. Not a lot of pictures so far that I could find.

Really great looking car. Love the wheel choice too. I'd like to see it without the yellow springs, but other than that it's perfect.

Great work!

Thanks!! I have some Kyosho silver springs on order too, that was the other color I shortlisted. The original white dish wheels are plain looking but still look good too and I'd probably fit them on later as well.

Some updates - Option House W5632 and W5642 mini block tyres were mounted to kit wheels; Kyosho silver springs now instead.

Beautiful car. It really makes me want one.

I really like the new color in springs, but miss those black wheels. Looking forward to seeing your choice in body.

Nice to meet you! Thanks for making the restoration and build videos, I watched everyone of them! On the ZXS Facebook group you'd be RV right, going by your initials? I'm the one posting up Kyosho Catalog pages of the ZX-S and ZX-S Evo.

Thanks! I can't quite decide myself which wheels are nicer, I think the black Yokomo wheels are nice too but I'd like a different tyre pattern.

Yup, that's me.
