Hello there
I just dug this old car out of my cellar; I know it's a Kyosho, but maybe some of you guys can help me identify the model? I need to identify the part in the pic - it's a front suspension holder, but I can't find one like it anywhere online. Any help will be much appreciated

Kyosho Lazer ZX Sport, search for a part number LA-30. Unfortunately they can be tough to find and expensive when you do.

If it’s not for a restoration purpose and just for fun to get it back going again. That looks like an easy enough part to reproduce out of a scrap piece of aluminum or delrin.

Many thanks guys. I could certainly try to make a replacement myself, but definitely worth using £10 to get hold of one, too
Cheers

If You buy a new part, I´d recommend drilling (3mm) the suspension pin holes, all the way thru, both on the front piece and the rear piece. And then find/make some longer protruding suspension pins with Circlips. Just like stock on the Optima MID.
96,5 percent of us drives like a bag of beans - trust me, It´ll happen again
Even if You buy the Hop-up versions in aluminum.
