Anyone know kyosho ever released lazer zx late edition？the box as first edition lazer and just few differents as the first kit:tires and wheels & knuckle arms as the same as lazer zxr.

seen has another change is the steering plate as the same as lazer zxr

Well... I did not see the ZX late version in my life...
As far as I know, the Lazer generation had been equickly moved into ZX-R early version (56 size H-pin tyres and yellow wheels, Ball diff and double slipper clutch + one way unit)

Kyosho might take last order for selling the rest of Lazer ZX parts and ship them to your country's distributor or shop manager might replace some parts into ZX-R after selling some parts

I did not know that there is an old and new version of Lazer ZX
How should I know if the one I have is the old or new version? (without disassembling the kit). I bought the kit and manual seperately (different seller)
Hi crusaderlyf, can I post my kit here, so they can advise me as well?

Kyosho makes a lot of running updates to their parts during the shelf-life of their kits...

thanks for that helpful info, but I think zxr MKII still come with the zxr slipper, hyperclutch only equiped at three cars：zxrr、zx-s & zx-s evolution。

as promised here is my Lazer ZX with out body shell

yes,lazer zx come with OT-121 front wheel rear wheel is MA-17, W-5031 front tire and OT-66 rear tire.
I think why my lazer with some zxr parts but no show in the parts list or manual,just later version and some parts change?

I own a few Lazer's. I bought a ZXR when they 1st came out, was this one a special?

thanks for that helpful info, but I think zxr MKII still come with the zxr slipper, hyperclutch only equiped at three cars：zxrr、zx-s & zx-s evolution。[/quote]

Mmmm nope, zx had a ball diff slipper, zxr mk1 had a slipper pad on either side of the spur, zxr mk2 had a hyper clutch, zxrr had a hyper clutch and both zx-s and zx-s evolution had a hyper clutch.

It appears that your car is a late edition, possible that the kit was originally opened to take spares from but luckily they replaced those items with the zxr items or as you said at the end of production of this car they upgraded certain things such as wheels and hubs (even though the hubs were a down grade) so its a bit special.
