The incomplete car is a Lazer Alpha, and the other is a Raider. The Alpha is a sport version of the popular lazer series. I might be wrong, but I believe it came out a few years after the ZX-R. I am currently restoring a ZX as a runner, and have a near complete Alpha that I thought I could use some of the parts from. After reviewing the cars, I saw that there is little in common with them other than the name and basic configuration.-Jeff

The diff's are pretty much the only valuable part if you like geardiffs 
Dogbones and rear axles with the hexes may come handy also to replace the conic axles on an old optima to the crosspin style.
The shocks on the side do look better than the original black plastic ones.
Edit: if the body is any good that's certainly worth trying to sell.
Very weird body on the raider...

YES! The axles! I thought I might use the cross pin style axles with the hexes on my runner. I might post a pic of the body I have on no my Alpha as it does'nt look like the alpha body on the instruction manual. Is the Lazer 2000 the US version of the Alpha? As it may be that body I have.-Jeff

Decisions decisions, they are $22 posted, but are the bits any use yo me I ask myself.
Also on another tack I have been offered this in a trade, but neither of us have any idea of value, I reckon it's Kyosho again from shocks.
Landjump maybe, it's even too early for an old man like me.

timbo, I don't think that is a true Landjump. By the looks of the plastic and the shocks, I am pretty sure it is a Thunder Tiger Silver Fox..... just a knock off the LJ.

The cage looks like it had some home-mods to it: I can't imagine those horizontal bars were soldered sticking out on the side on a commercialised product.
