thanks
1. Start with a 9.5 and go from there.
2. You put the center one way on the left side of the shaft if the car is facing AWAy from you. Basically you put the one way on the long belt.

Anyone knows if HB will remove car from sales or just Tower won't offer it anymore. (TC is still available though).
I just ordered my Cyclone S with a Mazda body. I asked the manager why they are being discontinued and he told my only the ones with the Stratus body are discontinued which come in the kit and RTR versions. The kit without the body and the kit with the Mazda body will be around for a while. That's good news for me and others wanting parts support in the future.

Good that's just as well because I truly believe that the 'S' is the ideal platform for newbies to start out on, less fragile than a Tamiya and perfectly adequate for racing as well as bashing. Add the hop ups as and when and you got a fully fledged race car on your hands.

Hey guys, what FDR should I begin with for my Cyclone WE?

The track is medium sized and on carpet. I will be running a 10.5 X12 with Lipo.

Thanks.

new to HPI and hotbodies products.

how do u guys differentiate the spring rate of hpi springs ?
- i see them label in coils. so does that means more coils is much more stiffer ?

Hope this helps, it is done on 'weight' of springs.

Are we talking about gearing, or motor wind?
