Lazer ZX-5 = ultimate gf or wife buggy

[rootar]

I gotta say this buggy is awesome, its one tough act to really compare to any other rtr electric in its price range, my gf has now put about 3 hours ( and me one) behind the buggy and nothing has broke talk about a real beginner crash test car too, wot into the pipes at the track and it just shugs it off and keeps on going. its not super fast but it makes up for it in handling BIG TIME. A little comparison I ran consistant 51 second lap time around the track (basically full throttle everywhere) and my BEST times wiht my LS10 are only 48 seconds im lucky to average 51 with it, but the lazer is so incredibly easy to drive its not even funny. the gf is already talking about it needs a tame brushless to be just a little faster so she can clear these two smaller jumps on the track that its having trouble with. It has to be easy to drive, my gf was could run 6-7 clean laps averaging about 60 seocnd times with me ever having to flip it over or her having to back up, and this was her first time at the track too.

Sorry if it seems as tho im trying to sell these off to everyone but this is the ultimate beginer buggy, aluminum shocks, full universals, balldiffs, great handling and 4wd on top of that......im just really impressed ive only had two problems one is the cut out under the spur gear lets dirt or little rocks get packed into the spur gear and will cause alot of drivetrain binding and nosie, and as all 1/10th scale buggies the wing didnt last no time at all with my gf driving. so i made a little soft plastic gear cover, and a wing made out of the bottom of a clorox jug (saw that in pit tips in some magazine except with a milk jug), the stock tires work surprizingly well despite having tall nobs and no foam inserts at all, these will be the next upgrade.

so what ya think of the clorox wing and skid? guess i need to get her a 4600 sidewinder system to run on the 5000 venom stick packs, or maybe ill jsut wait till she wears the stock brushed motor out. or tell her she can buy it....
