Hot Bodies Cyclone
Gearing 17.5T motor
I will be using Mamba Max Pro in sensored setup. It has co called "CHEAT MODE". Thanks for the advice, now I know what to expect (everything still in the mail) and how to deal with it.

Hi all,
We were at the WCRC(West Coast RC) for some practice today. (KO Grand Prix Day1)
Barry Baker with his Cyclone TC was the fastest on the track whole day today!! We have had some discussion and figured out it can be even better tomorrow.
Checkpoint's power /Cyclone TC chassis combo is MAXIMUM FAST!
Looking forward to see the improvement tomorrow.

I wonder how the Checkpoint motors compare to the Duos or Novaks? Especially in the spec winds.
Korey, what is the difference (if any) between running 4 deg castor with 2deg of kick-up in the hinge pins and a 6 deg castor block with no kick-up ?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hmmm that is something I have not tested in a long time. Whenever I run kickup... it helps with steering off power, but kills any on power steering as it promotes weight transfer to the rear of the car when on power.
I would think the 6 deg with flat pins would be a little more balanced. It would just be smooth entering corners, and provide more steering through the middle and exit. With kickup... it makes the car jack weight around more specific to your throttle input.
Maybe someone has some more recent experience with this? If anyone does, please jump in.

Yea. It should feel different as you are changing about 3 things when you do the kickup change. You're changing caster, roll center, and kickup. With just the cast blocks change... all you are changing is caster.
It's something I guess I should test a bit sometime soon. I'll let everyone know what I find.

I had good results with .5mm of kick up at NorCal. I have not been able to drive in a while but when I get back it is something I want to try again. It smoothed out the entry a little and gave me a little more steering in the middle and off the corner. It helped keep my speed up on the switch backs. I must have "forgot" to tell STLNLST.....LOL This was on the TOP Spec Tire.

sorry if this has been already answered
but will a cyclone-S carbon fiber chassis fit on my Cyclone TC?
thanks
