Stay tuned for upcoming results and photographs of Marc Rheinard racing HB Nitro off-road vehicles!"
I highly doubt he'll be driving a Cyclone. I thought I read somewhere that he has just resigned a long contract with Tamiya.

Yes you´re right. At the German forum there was a comment from Marc´s father about this so he´s just driving the Nitro off-road car for Hotbodies but not the Cyclone. He still is with Tamiya but he´s allowed running other brands cars when Tamiya doesn´t have a car in their range for certain classes. This is for 1:12 and for the Nitro off-road also now.
Tried it with kit setup on rubbers and it was pretty much dialed straight away!
Hi Phil,
I’ve still not had a chance to run my Cyclone, it current set-up is kit. Being very used to my pro4 where droop is usually 4 at the front and 3 at the rear, I’m a bit suprised with the Cyclone kits setting of 7 front - 6 rear! Did you run it with these settings or did you change these?

Is there any news on HB releasing a ball diff set for the Cyclone yet? I sure hope they do release one as to buy all the bits separately it's about £70!
I ran it for the first time the weekend and its spot on not a sign of wear whichever wind (motor) you run, and having the replacment delrin outdrives is very useful. It comes with aluminium savers for them too (would of been nice if black of purple though).
Right, so these side body mounts are supposed to stop the rear upper bulkhead breaking, as the body will mount off the middle bulkhead instead of the shock tower on the upper bulkhead. Is this correct?
