No, the servo doesn't have to be low profile. In fact I have a Ko Propo PDS 2367 ICS in at the moment and still have plenty of room for my electronics, but that's only because the Ko Propo KR-302f and Tekin RS Pro are really small. It would get quite tight if I was trying to fit in a GM or Speedpassion ESC in there. The advantages of a low profile servo include more space and lighter weight.
I'll also be using the RS Pro with the TCX, so space shouldn't be an issue.

Can you fit tamiya trf pistons? I got some 3 hole pistons laying around.

I noticed this difference, configuration "high tower" series on the TCX.

Interesting. I remember a while back when Hiro/Korey were using the Andy Moore World Edition rear tower saying it was better for rear grip. It had lower holes then the TC.

The upper bulkheads on the Cyclone TC are 2mm taller than the older cyclones to make room for some beefing up. The kit came with the lowered shock towers (2mm lower) to maintain the same geometry as the older cyclones. When that upper bulkhead is not used with a "lowered" cyclone TC shock tower, the shock positions are 2mm higher, just like the TCX.
It moves the piston further down int he shock body, putting more shock oil on top of the piston. This makes the shock pack up easier, and usually produces more grip
At paved nationals I actually used TC upper bulkheads, and WCE/AME shock towers front and rear. It just gave the car more traction all around. -Korey

That would lower the towers even more if you are using the TC shock towers. I have heard of some people using this when the grip is extremely high, but it's something I wouldn't normally run. So in the end, it is not the same as the TCX or TC upper bulkhead and WCE tower combo.
