I’m late to the party on this one, apologies!, but what an awesome video and I definitely can’t wait for part 2!!👍👍

[@stumpycatvm7115]

late also-dirt cross, just got dig up zx5 body

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Wow, that chassis looks amazing! I love the contrast of the silver and blue, it really sets it off nicely. Personally I'd leave the blue bits as they are, looks great as it is. I can't wait for part 2😉👍👍

[@bigpaulrc3531]

Hi Glenn from Yorkshire England cool car love your content keep it coming you're a lucky man Keith heart of gold and he's just as mad about RC as us nutters lol😂😂😂😂 rip it in bit and regarese it with new that's wot i would do👍🏻👍🏻

[@rocpile]

Brilliant work, Glenn! I must say, in my opinion, the format/presentation is spot on. Very enjoyable!

[@damienmctasney4679]

Looks like a lovely bit of kit Glenn. Gotta say I'm rather jealous. Love your content as you know Glenn and can't wait for part 2 my friend.

[@ryanjofre]

Are you the one that bought the last two stainless cv axle assemblies off eBay last week??? The only thing I don’t have is the Kyosho Triple cap velvet coated big bore shocks. I should do a Rebel stream video build! I have the Tungsten carbide ball kits for the front & rear diffs. I have all of the carbon Parts ever offered from Kyosho including the upperl Brace, brace bars & carbon diff housings. I have a Mamba Max Pro esc and sensorless 5700kv motor I have the Castle Bluetooth B link I even have the Kyosho carbon composite chassis. I’m thinking Rebel video!😱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Hamish1968]

Great build, and a video highlighting the generosity in the R/C community.

[@Klr81976]

Another awesome RC car built by my favorite RC KZbinr. Someday I want a tour of the museum!

[@markbruton-young9228]

I think your getting over your ball diff phobia :)

[@AddamsPlayground]

Looks great! I wouldn't want to run it after the rebuild though! LOL!

[@J1Z06]

What an awesome build!! Great car! Care to rebuild mine next ? 😂😎

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

The more videos the better. Lets GO!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@chriswatson9519]

Love carbon conversions and Glenn those three colours contrast really well the blue, silver and carbon look awesome 😎

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

Glenn some Lunsford titanium turnbuckles would look really nice on that.

[@Bormac073]

This will be a great build once done. The go ZX5 was a very cool race car back when I remember it hitting the market and the tracks. Great to see you take this one under your wing. Thank you for sharing and also thanks to Keith for his amazing generosity

[@Pablo668]

The ZX5 really is a cool chassis. And being Kyosho you know it’s quality.

[@alphawlff]

Very nice Glenn. You got me wanting to find another one of theses to mod. You should also take your TT02B to the track too to compare.

[@agevan6735]

Cheers mate, from this Aussie in China!

[@markbruton-young9228]

Personally I would re-anodise all the silver bits blue, but that’s just my preference for a kyosho of that period. I would love to start learning about home anodising too which is a thing.

[@traxxasfans]

Sounds like a good plan

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@IntegraDIY]

Get a nice set of titanium hex hardware. Would really make the chassis more premium

[@garethjackson9563]

I'm a bit late watching the video Glenn so hope you get to read this. I restored one of these for my mate's son last summer and I found the manual for the kit version online on the Kyosho website. It was invaluable for disassembly/assembly but most importantly part numbers. Like you say, it drives soooo nicely.

[@Shellbackrc]

Great video can't wait for part 2! I have the ZX-5 FS2 SP it's still very competitive amongst the current crop of 4wd buggies. I'd like to get a set of the carbon fiber shock towers and the aluminum camber plates do you have a link for them?

[@lowqualitytech1216]

Try searching for Kenon Hobby. They have all kinds of carbon and alum parts for the zx5 , and if I remember correctly they also have carbon graphite shock towers.

[@jamesneylon7335]

Good luck with the wheels, I know the wheels from my dark impact don’t fit that kyosho. Great buggy that one, very fun to drive. Thanks Glen

[@Jaysqualityparts]

It’s gonna Look awesome Glen.

[@SPEXWISE]

I've had success removing anodising with oven cleaner. It literally falls off and then a little polishing and it's like it was never anodised! Give it a go. I used ovenpride oven cleaner liquid in a bottle. I love the old Lazer-ZX that was belt driven. This looks awesome too. Nice one Glenn, looking forward to the next part!

[@Mini-z1994]

It seems they are re-releasing the zx-5 as well just saw it here. " Kyosho 1/10 Lazer SB Dirt Cross 4WD Buggy Kit "

[@jamesneylon7335]

Also those plastic uj’s wear in dirt pretty quick

[@rcicons4915]

Glad you are enjoying the build. I knew you would. You introduced me to the zx5 and I now have 5. All totally different from each other in setup. Looking forward to seeing to rest of the chassis come together.

[@peterrenaud9639]

I hope you bring you friend Pete to that track with you next season 🤞😜🤞 i bet he's got some fresh buggies to try out🤔

[@dennisharold8934]

Cannot wait to get you out to the Skycraft Rc track!

[@coygtrc]

Yeah the ZX5 drive train is very simple and very free. Even the RTR is very nice. It's a little late, but I would have suggested a stainless steel hex hardware screw set (rcscrewz for example, in "silver"), as it makes the car even more awesome 😊 Take care and thanks for sharing 👍🤝

[@eel9042]

bought the zx-5 brushless when it came out, still holds up for a casual driver after these years i think

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Great video buddy. Definitely a cool car.

[@lo2713]

Awww man, one car i regret selling. But needs must and all 😭 your not wrong about them being quick, had a 6.5 in mine and it flew, didnt seem like it was to much for the chassis either. Its looking great with all the alloy parts 👌 cant wait to see it all done, but i know its going to make me want another 😂

[@RCLegends2022]

Haha you’ve got too many cars at the moment 🤣👊🏻

[@lo2713]

@@RCLegends2022 yeah 😂 but this is one i would have again, i can squeeze it in somewhere 😁

[@leebentley6257]

I would leave the prop blue it matches rest

[@lowqualitytech1216]

My opinion , but maybe you should have bought the CVDs too. The plastic ones do a great job for a brushed motor , but if you move on to a bbrushless one , i don't know if they will hold on , due to the power increase. Regardless , amazing video ! It looks like , it's gonna turn into a fine racing build.

[@40ollie67]

Does Sky RC only an hour away mean unretiring the TT02B for the day? Maybe even a new shell you won't mind messing up? It's still my favorite car you've done on the channel, and it'd be an easy cleanup. Maybe even get a chassis protecter or undertray made with your pull...lol

[@joshuajkoplin]

How about the new Lazer SB Dirt Cross that’s coming out soon? What do you think?

[@mariusmarais8329]

Got a ZX 5 rolling chassis, need a body for it. How can help ...?

[@kyleteal5888]

What's that black cage buggy next to your shoulder on the wall? Next to the white F1 car, and the buggy has white tire lettering.

Nice!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks for watching 😅

[@panagiotisntouras2722]

Lazer zx5 and dirt hog is the same chassi????

[@bradkalman2353]

I miss your comments back from what I comment.

[@RCLegends2022]

Hey Brad 👋🏻 Yeah sorry buddy my time is way more limited now 🤕 Hope you’re keeping well my friend 😇👊🏻

[@bradkalman2353]

@@RCLegends2022 you too. I hope you've been watching the videos I've been sending you be nice to hear from what you think. Course if you get a second to tell me about it.

[@ggbear1043]

I have half a lazer zx, I can't find the front end or body ;/

[@toolbaggers]

I still find it shocking how different a Lazer ZX-5 is compared to the original Lazer ZX. The original ZX looks closer to an Optima Mid and both of those look more related than an Optima Mid to an original Optima. Kyosho has a weird overlapping naming system.

[@chrishartley6581]

Hey where do you order parts for your laser zx5

[@chrishartley6581]

They're hard to find parts

[@jameskirk5906]

MAGA 2024!!!

[@pugs1377]

Those u joints are a weak point. I went through a bunch when I had mine. 🎉

[@tek00732882]

That was the crappiest race buggy I have ever had.
