LA-9

The Kyosho LA-9 parts bag contains the thrust bearing as used on the Lazer ZX. It sits on the layshaft between the rear drive pulley and the e-clip.

LA-9 is hard to come by, but measured from a brand new bag, the dimensions are:

  • 4mm shaft holes
  • plastic part that contains the thrust balls: 10mm diameter
  • thrust balls itself are 1.6mm (1/16 inch)
  • thrust washers measure 1.3mm thickness
  • thrust washers have a diameter of 7,5mm
  • total width of assembled part is
    • 1.3 mm thrust washer
    • 1.6 thrust balls
    • 1.3 mm thrust washer
    • so the total is 4.2mm width

The width is important for a correct, straight alignment of the rear belt pulley.
