I haven't had any issues with slop like that yet. Interesting.

I just ordered a Lazer from my local hobby shop and he told me " they will be shipping June 25". Are the stick pack cars not available right now, or is the saddle pack car going to start shipping 6/25?

Which Lazer did you/he order? The SP (stick) or the FS (saddle)? Or did you order the RTR? The RTR's are stick pack. The shop would have had to specify which car.

Well, I guess I need to talk to him. I ordered "the latest version". I guess I need to do a little homework on the cars.

I think Adam Lancia said he has a ZX-RR - which is a much older car - and totally different to the ZX-5.

I just finished a sp build that's my 1st K car in a very long time and the thing that stood out to me was how good the fit and finish at these same areas were. Really spot on.

Kyosho is a model building company as well. They have been doing this for a really long time. I agree the cars got together awesome and they stay tight for a long time as well!

Do you guys recommend the "velvet" shocks, or the kit shocks good?

With the exception of the SP upgrade kit which is no longer available. Velvet cases were not included in that package.

Personally I like the look of the silver case with the silver springs on the SP.

What about the front one-way? Are most of you using it? Also, do you have a part number and an online source?
Thx
