Its meant to upgrade the SP to FS status. I suppose you could use it on a regular ZX5 also, but you would be missing alot of what makes the FS an FS. That being the SP's upgraded suspension.
In a nut shell, the kit includes a new chassis, bulkheads for the shock towers, upper and lower diff housings (front and rear), upper deck, shorter rear shock bodies, front and rear springs (although most guys already have them), center driveshaft assembly, screws, new body since the car is 10mm longer (called the Cannon), front sway bar kit, new motor mount, new slipper disks, and while I'm looking at the instructions
, there are some bearings and new bevel and diff gears with it as well, and looks like it comes with some ball studs, ball ends, aluminum shims, and servo saver set (same as the current one). So it has quite a few parts, some new, some the same as before (but good to replace while its apart)
I believe the kit RETAILS for $220.00 You should be able to pick it up cheaper through your local LHS or online shop.
Also, Kyosho America recieved a shipment of the FS conversions, so they should be available at your favorite dealer!

I'm not aware of anyone that makes one in delrin. I dont think its needed though. The Kyosho spurs are fine. I have 50+ runs on mine with no problems. Make sure your mesh is set real good. If its too loose, it puts more stress on the teeth and if a chunk of dirt gets in there you're going to have problems. I set my mesh with about a paper thickness of room between the gears. Runs quiet, gears last.
