Technical Chassis Upgrade for LAZER ZX-5

Engineered with racing setups in mind, the Kyosho LAZER ZX-5 Graphite Main Chassis by 3Racing focuses on managing torsional stiffness to deliver predictable handling characteristics. The graphite plate integrates with standard mounting points to allow teams and tuners to dial chassis flex for specific track conditions.

Material Impact on Tuning

Graphite alters the platform stiffness, which affects roll coupling and transient response. Tuners can use the 3Racing ZX5-21/WO chassis to shift handling towards faster turn-in and reduced midcorner understeer without altering suspension geometry dramatically.

Setup Considerations for Competitive Use

When fitting this plate, consider rechecking droop, shock piston selection and spring rates to harmonise the new stiffness. The chassis is intended to be part of a measured setup process where small incremental changes yield predictable results on lap time.

Practical Notes for Racing Teams

As a value racing part, this graphite main chassis offers a focused upgrade for drivers wanting to refine lap consistency. It is best applied alongside controlled adjustments to damping and antiroll elements to achieve the desired handling balance.

Start with slightly increased front or rear damping depending on desired roll rate, then tune in small steps while monitoring midcorner grip and exit traction to find the balance that complements the stiffer plate.
Standard hardware is usually compatible, but ensure screw torque is controlled to avoid point stress on the graphite. Use threadlocker where appropriate for race use.
Adopt a stepwise approach: fit the chassis, verify baseline settings, then adjust springs and damping in small increments while logging lap times and driver feedback to validate each change.
