The Evolution of the LAZER: Meet the ZX7
The Kyosho 30048 - LAZER ZX7 is a testament to the evolution of RC racing technology. Building on the success of its predecessor, the ZX-6, this new model adapts to the ever-changing racing environments, particularly those featuring high-grip carpet and artificial turf tracks. The ZX7 retains the hallmark mild control and dynamic maneuverability but enhances these traits with a narrower main chassis design that optimizes rigidity and reduces weight.
Advanced Engineering for Modern Racing
At the heart of the ZX7 is a center midship motor and center shaft drive 4WD system, providing balanced power distribution and stability. The chassis is crafted from A7075-T6 grade Duralumin, known for its lightweight yet robust characteristics. This material choice, combined with an upper deckless design and side stiffeners, significantly boosts chassis rigidity while maintaining flexibility for custom setups.
Precision Suspension and Steering
The ZX7 features a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension equipped with turnbuckle upper arms, allowing precise tuning for various track conditions. The new short gullwing type front suspension arms and wide aluminum holders enhance traction, while the adjustable caster angle offers versatility in handling. Aluminum steering arms ensure a linear control feel, crucial for competitive racing.
Aerodynamics and Stability
Kyosho's innovative design extends to the bodywork, with an aero body featuring a center fin and narrow cabin for better airflow management. The new rear wing design, with a thickness of 1.0mm, improves traction and durability, ensuring stability during high-speed maneuvers. These aerodynamic enhancements contribute to superior overall controllability and performance.
