My base setup will be Hara's Reedy Race.

Thx.
I use Scotch (3M) Strapping Tape.
It is translucent and has fibre reinforcements running along its length.
You can purchase 24mm x 55m roles.

I run the POM outdrives that come in the TC kit on the rear differential. They seem to hold up pretty good considering they are plastic. As far as I know, the DCJs are only sold as one piece, so there won't be any replacement parts for them.

Hi Sorry, I just thought that since it was just Cyclone stuff and it would be okay, will just put some sort of link up in future.

Quick question ..... where do you look first when trying to get more mid corner / on power steering ? I'm new to the TC but have spent the last year or so running 1/12th scale (lots of corner speed). That said, it just seems to me that I should be able to push the car harder through the corners. I lose a lot of speed waiting for the car to turn enough so I can get back on power. If I push it mid corner it will swing wide. I'm not really looking for suggestions to my current set up as much as I'm looking to peoples theories when trying to resolve such an issue. I believe initial turn in is more of a front end thing, whereas this issue may best be served by rear end adjustments ? Any insight is appreciated.
