Same thing goes for the tamiya style steering. From my previous experiences with the steering rack on tamiya cars, I'm not a huge fan of it. I feel the normal cyclone setup is better (for me at least), and more aggressive. Ronald is just testing new things as we always are on the team, so there are no guarantees that any one part we test will actually make it to market. As far as I know, he's pretty much testing that on his own as well. Everyone on the team has a similar goal though, to make sure you guys get the fast stuff

Default HELP

Hey there, just got myself a cyclone S as the TC's aren't available where I shop I've never ran on road before so I need help.

FYI I plan to run Lipo's on asphalt

1. Gearing for a 17.5 or 10.5 Pinion and Spur pls not just Final drive (Starting point anyway)
2. Basic idea of suspension starting point - springs, oil, piston
3. Sway bars
4. any tips pointers to consider before going racing.

thanks in advance

That is not entirely true. RCMAKET.COM.HK is hosting by Intrasia while RCMART.COM is hosting by another hosting company. Regardless they both are in Hong Kong. I also checked several HK web sites, they are fine.

RCMART site came up as fast while RCMARKET site are impossible to view. Ping to Intrasian was fast and reliable. RCMARKET must have been hosting on a share server with heavy traffic or RCMARKET page database are so screwed up making query impossible.

Mr. Chan if you are reading this. I hope you find out what causing your site so slow. I love to do business with you, right now just impossible to do so.

Need more Cyclone parts

I checked RcMarket last night around 11:30pm Pacific time and it worked for me, and I just checked right now and it seems to be working again as it has for me in the past.

Default Which version is best?

I currently run the original cyclone and I am ready to retire it and get another one. My lhs has a morespeed and a hara edition on the wall that I can get a good deal on, but would I be better off with the TC or wait to see if a new car comes out soon? I am running 13.5 rubber tire medium grip carpet, thanks for any help. And will a smc 6000mah 28c lipo fit in a cyclone?

I have basically the same question. Looking to get a cyclone(coming from the pro4). Should I go straight to a TC or should I keep my options open on some of the older cyclones? Because I really want a cyclone. Just not sure which route to go with. Where's the best place to find a used TC??

Hello,

Would you use a center one-way with a spool or do you use a center one-way with a one-way in the front??

Thanks!

hey guys I just put a Novak Havoc 8.5 brushless system in my Cyclone S RTR and my differentials are slipping is there any company that makes a nice upgraded diff for the car? Or is a gear diff better? If so who makes a gear diff? Sorry for the questions but I am somewhat new to this RC hobby and I have no idea where to look.
