Nice nice nice, mate your work is as good as it gets. Its looking as good as the original. Very nice, and done.

Anyway here are my 4wd cars. One is being redesigned, one is a shelf queen (with all team parts and prototype parts that never were available to the public, and one is going to be sold, and all are stunning.

James any pics of the ZXS (non evo) now after all the work you have done on it or is it still an ongoing project

Aye.. some more photo's would be great. Great cars though - gotta love a Lazer

Yeah and fibrelite’s carbon has a very distinctive pattern to it that always looks cool in photos and then add that to a cool Lazer just got my IQ Tuning MKI4 and that has the same pattern of carbon fibre

Pictures!!?

The MKI-4





My ZXS Evo

Wow that is beautiful by anyones standard, those models are so rare.

Great Job

dang, those are pretty sweet...

nice stuff you got here.

I know nothing about his MKI-4.
Can you tell us abit on this car?
Is that body and undertray still available?

MKI-4 is a XX4 rework/conversion and is still available, I have thought hard about getting it, I know a few guys who have tried the crashback front arms (fits XX4/X5 also), and his shock "sleeves" intrigue me.

I may still order one, I just love to be different.

Ok, thanks,
I found the website: http://www.iq-tuning.ch/de/index.html

Couldn't find the body and tray, but sent an email enquiry for these.
Also asked them if the these dirtshields will work on a smaller diameter shock: asso, option house golds, yokies...

I'll post the reply.

The shock dust sleeves are a nice little touch and i don't see why they couldn't work on other shocks of the same dia and i'm sure with a little bit of work you could rig up a similar system on just about any shocks, they have the main sleeve then a smaller tube that fits to the lower of the shock body and that slides inside the main sleeve as the shocks compress just to keep the sleeve lined up if you know what i mean

The shells are still available, they are Tamiya Gravel Hound Shells

**The shells are still available, they are Tamiya Gravel Hound Shells

*The losi shocks were (are?) larger than the option house gold shocks.

**I kinda had a suspiscion they were gravel hounds already, but as far as I know there's no undertray from Tamiya.
Even checked tower to see if they had them (they didn't).

Kyosho kept a lot of the features starting with the Optima Mid Series. Here is my restore of my Turbo Optima Mid Custom.

* Yeah i know the dust sleeves for the losi shock won't fit but it's a simple system and i'm sure you could find some smaller dia tubes that will work the same way on the smaller shocks. If you would like any photos of the sleeves etc just let me know.

** You are spot on the Grave Hound doesn't have an undertray and neither does the MKI-4 it uses the 2 body posts and uses some L Profile plastic strips along the outer edge of the chassis to hold the shell with velcro, my MKI-4 has a flat sheet of lexan on the under side to stop scratches etc (not that i will ever run it lol) but you could use the JConcepts clear chassis protective sheets on the underside
