The LAZER ZX6.6 continues Kyosho's development of purpose-built race buggies, refining the ZX6 concept for modern circuits. Its layout and component choices are aimed at drivers chasing consistent lap times on high-adhesion surfaces and technical courses.
The core of the design is a center midship motor and a center shaft drive 4WD arrangement that promote even weight distribution and neutral handling. The A7075-T6 grade Duralumin chassis without an upper deck trims weight while preserving rigidity. Strategically positioned side plates boost stiffness in the pitch axis to aid responsiveness through braking and acceleration zones.
Suspension uses a 4-wheel independent double wishbone layout with turnbuckle upper arms to allow quick geometry adjustments. The gullwing style rear arms, adapted from the ULTIMA RB6.6, lengthen shock travel for improved surface tracing and corner compliance, helping the buggy stay planted over rough patches.
Drive components include front and rear universal swing shafts for smooth torque delivery, and a ball differential with tungsten carbide balls for durable, predictable slip characteristics. The aluminium steering crank gives linear input, and bolt-on hex clamp hubs secure wheels under load to reduce slippage.
As a compact, well-engineered kit, the LAZER ZX6.6 suits competitive hobbyists and club racers who prioritise balance and fine-tuneable handling in high-grip settings.
