the closest "pdub" style bumper for the cyclone was either X**y or the C*****y one with a little bit of creativity... sorry you gotta fill in the blanks.. but take your time it turns out real nice.

Is there any other point to the alum. servo posts besides just bling and maybe weight reduction?

alum. servo mount is fashion only .

Brushless motor mount isn't needed for 10.5. Any brushless spec racing it's pretty pointless. It raises the center layshaft up 2mm so it's possible to install bigger spur gears (110+).

Gearing for a 17.5 on an spx.... somewhere in the 4.5-5.0 final drive ratio range should be good if you're using profile 7. It'll just depend on the track layout and size. Keep a tab on your temps as well

It's only called the brushless motor mount, because back when it was released the only brushless motors being used were the low wind modifieds

Try either the Corally or the Schumacher grease.

Schumacher diff grease is BY FAR the best diff grease I've ever used. It doesn't break down anywhere near as fast as others, so it gives very consistent diff action throughout the run. Plus it's like a wax... it doesn't fling off, so it last for a long time inbetween rebuilds as well.
