Reception

The Lazer-ZX5 was loved worldwide by Racers and Hobbyists. Many popular drivers in the years 2005-2011 raced it on the track, and liked things as it's handling , durability and simplicity. Eveyone was excited to know that Kyosho was back at the 1/10 4WD off-road scene years after the release of the Lazer-ZX5's predeccessor, the Kyosho Lazer-ZX. And while it didn't have a lot of similarities with it (such as belt-driven 4WD system) it highered the standarts of the 4WD 1/10 Off-road scene.
