Hey Guys just got a cyclone TC. Have a small problem tho. When putting it together.
The manual say to put Z817 Aluminum Washers 3x6x2mm (Purple). Under all of the Pivot blocks. But if you do this on the front of the car. The A arms then rub
on the Bulkheads.
Did any one els find this ???

Once you have set the droop (via ride height and downstops) the arms should just clear the pivot block.

My A arms on the front rub badly on the bottum of the bulkheads. With the 2mm washers. IF I take them out its fine. Its like they are to big and they raze the arms up to high.

can you chnge the original cyclone chassis to the new tc chassis for carpet
can you chnge the orginal chassis from the black version to the hotbodies tc well everything cross reference thxs reggie
The chassis' bolt patterns are the same for the O.G. Black Ver. and the newer TC. Everything will bolt right up to the new chassis.
Hi Korey, have you done any serious testing with the DCJ shafts? Can you share your experience with them?
I also like to know the weight of each DCJ shaft.
Thanks.

Hiro... Andy's setup that you just posted, is that running the TC car or the moorespeed? his front shock poition on number 2 means he is running the TC version arms...
BTW can anyone explain the differences in ackerman, For Example.. 4mm and lets just say 1mm... what will it cause in "Turn In" and "Exit" steering? or is it just for easier to drive? I know if the ackerman is changed, toe MUST be adjusted back to what you had....

Billy- I have not tired them yet... yea I know I'm a failure lol. I will soon though. I'm just waiting on them in the mail.
RCFREAK- Ackerman adjustment can have some varied effects depending on how much grip the track has... but usually more shims (like 4mm) makes the car more reactive initially, and less steering through the middle and exit. Fewer shims (like 1mm) will generally smooth the car out a bit, but give more steering through the middle and exit.
Hope that helps

I know I'm going to get flamed a lot for asking this, but can anyone from HB confirm that the Cyclone will continue to be developed? I've been hearing quite a few 'rumors' that the car is either going to be dropped or replaced by a whole new model given its age.
