R/C Tech Forums - Hot Bodies Cyclone

How Do I get rid of the C' Hub slop? All the screws appear to be tight, Also where the outer hinge pin goes thru the C' hub there is NO slop. So where is the slop coming from, is it the C Hub itself and do you recommend changing to the ALU C hubs?

is there slop between the arms and the chub(side to side slop) also, could be your turnbuckle ends, they might need replacing.

If you're talking about up/down slop in the C-hub, you should shim it: between 0.1 and 0.3mm is what you'll need.

I have a 0.2mm shim over both of my upper C-hub bushings to eliminate up/down slop. I'm using Kyosho clutch shims: 5mm ID, 7mm OD, and you get a bunch of 0.1mm, 0.2mm and 0.3mm in the bag. This shim tip is in Hara's Cyclone build guide.

I wouldn't recommend Alum C-hubs, because if you bend them, you'll never know if they are off by a degree or so... I haven't seen a good guage for checking them that is super-precise. But the car will feel funny as you will end up running uneven caster left-right.

Do you have a link or a copy of the Hara build guide? I have looked but never found it.

Thanks

Can we see a picture of the plate mounted on the Cyclone TC? Thanks.

Edit: I use the IP3800 as well.

All good questions...So here is what I got for ya!

Because this plate has pockets for the hump packs you can fit two different types of LIPO packs.

Max height of a hump pack (including the humps) is 23.20MM
Max height of a flat pack is 22.15MM

I have ground off just enough for the pack to fit without rubbing under load. I think it was about 2mm or so. You can take off more but you have to be careful not to take off too much!

My bulked is now 2mm thick above the battery. I am using a M3x6mm screw with a 2mm spacer above the top deck and the screw does not protrude below the bulked.

Hope this helps.

@ artwork, Korey

thanks for the help gentlemen. I'll stick to the existing trust bearing and AE black graphite grease and stealth lube... if it ain't broke, don't fix it. who cares about $3 lube tubes in the greater scheme of a racing season's budget haha? :cry:

You can also grind the humps off the bottom of the pack! should give you more room! I would rather grind the humps off the pack rather than ruin the chassi/bulkhead as an option.

Do think this will help you beat those Xtards:lol::lol::lol:

Just got the Cyclone TC car a couple days ago and have a few questions:

Is this car hard to get parts from?

What's the biggest spur it takes?

108/109 64p is the biggest without having the spur peek under the chassis. the 110t will fit as well but the spur's teeth will be slightly exposed under the chassis. (this assumes you're using the stock bulkheads/motor mount).
