Default Wheel nuts on the TIR CVDS for cyclone

I think it produced in UK.

Hi all, The axles on the CVDS for the cyclone have been manufactured not to come loose. This is unfortunately a problem with running spools (we have seen many undo over the period of a race), so we actually increased the nominal size of the thread to "GRIP" the wheel nut a little better than standard. The wheel nuts will not damage the threads on the axles as they are made only to grip a little better. Dont worry if they feel tight, simply do them up. If anyone has problems or unsure please feel free to mail me [email protected] for any help or advice...

Hope this helps.....

Kind regards

Darren

Hi Darren,

Do you have the Titanium Ball Stud Set for the Cyclone in stock yet? I am eager to get one as I find the stock ball studs a little brittle (I've snapped 2 on the servo saver).

Only if someone uses a pro4 spool will the pro4 bones be ok.Otherwise very very long...

didn't know that they also offer titanium ball studs, i thought they only got a screw set for the cyclone (and their great CVDs and spools, of course )

I'm pretty sure they do, although I've never seen them available on their website. I emailed them a few weeks back now and they said they were waiting for them to come in...

wow that has to be some strong carbon for the shocks not to skip holes in a impact.

i have been try my cyclone it really handling better but one thing i cannot ignore is althought alum bulk head and other staff look great but if get in into hard clash will bend all alum parts like my case my cyclone lost control last few day ago upper deck & chassis break, alum bulk head front bent until rear the only thing not bent is motor mount and carbon fiber middle brace. i spend almost 250USD to buy new stuff.

This design has been proven on gas cars so I don't think there's too much to worry about.

Thumbs up

Got my Cyclone. Built, put a pro4 diff and CVD's in the front to run foam, ran a few packs of practice. Very satisfied, but needs just one more day to get it set up. I need a locked center pulley then it will be perfect

How did the Pro4 diff possibly fit? Did you place shims along with it?

I have no clue of what you're getting yourself into. I have crashed a lot and it has been the most durable car I have owned so far. The only things I have broken are front knuckles and arms as well as bending my dogbones slightly. Now I have the TIR parts in the front and a p-dub bumper to protect them as the stock bumber is a little narrow. I actually used the one from the TC3 since it is wider than the Pro4, drilled new holes and shaved a little foam off to fit and it works perfect. I have had no problems since. Breaking your chassis???? Bulk heads bent??????? WOW!!!!!
