LAZER ZX

[Bullfrog]

hi Guys, just about finished my latest Kyosho buggy project, I'm getting this ready for a vintage Enduro run in November, need to give it a few test runs before I can give it the ok, the Enduro race goes for 4 hours (2 cars / drivers per team) so it's got to last at least 2 hours.
Cheers Bullfrog

Very sharp buggy nice color combo I like your decals that match your name to very cool.

Nice concept!

These wheels are pretty popular at the vintage events here: I believe because they have a similar offset as the older rims.

[Bullfrog]

hi Guys, thanks for the comments, rims are Tamiya DF03 limited edition green, they fit perfect, I've also got Lazer ZX5 Universal shafts as well in it, front (62.5mm) and Rear (65.5mm). Cheers Bullfrog

Looks good, but it appears the slipper isnt the ZX but ZXR, but who cares as its superb. Im dribbling!!!

Great display piece, and great runner. Are you running brushed or brushless, if brushed and mod then use a 10 double with a pinion between a 19 up to a 23 (I used a 23). If a stock 27 turn then you can go up between 23 to 28 depending, but will be perfect for an endurance race. Looks fantastic.

Work of art, brings back memories of when I got one of the very first in the UK in 88/89.

Just so no one get's the wrong ones: the 62.5mm CVD's are ultima RB5's , not lazer zx5's

[isobarik]

Any problems during the fitting of the zx5/RB5 shafts or are they bolt on ???

Any one who knows wich lengths zx5/RB5 shafts come in ???


mvh Isobarik

[Mr. ED]

62.5 mm for the RB5's
73 mm for zx-5 and 2 more sizes ;best check the manuals: they are available in pdf format on kyosho-us' site

[isobarik]

How about the lenght on w5061 and w5063 ??? any one ???


mvh Isobarik

[Bullfrog]

no problem in fitting the cvd's, the guy I brought them from advertised them as ZX5 - both sizes, just make sure you use the 62.5mm in the front as anything longer won't fit.
cheers Bullfrog

[isobarik]

Do you use the inner hole or the the hole further out on the uprights, wide or narrow ???
Original if you used the inner hole then you had to use the w-5063 wich was 3mm longer then the w-5061
