Err what is low grip carpet. In canberra (aus) there is a track running on standard industrial carpet tiling with foams and no traction additive allowed.
Generally speaking it was found that the standard setup was pretty good baseline. I found playing with hard springs just made everything worse.
But take out shims from the ackerman to reduce initial steering.

Could anybody confirm about this, please?
I think 22mm is too exaggerated, then 2,2mm could more possible and acceptable, isn't it?
Best regards

I just measured a CycloneTC 1-way and it is 26.7mm between bearings.

hi guys
i'm using a spec-r tam in my cyclone tc for quit a while now and it works awesome
you need to space your bearing 2mm inside left and right
i did that whit an old shock clip from 2mm than you only need to shim the diff 2 mm +-
further parts used,
-old cyclone belts from the first cyclone
-tam drive shafts and blades
tam diff pulley
fits perfectly and runs awesome no need to do diff rebuilts
running 80from losi in the rear

20 Tooth layshaft pulleys
Has anyone installed 20 t pulley on the cyclone? Do new belts need to be installed?

Cherry, just an update. Unless I miss read your post, the Sakura 46mm drive shafts are not a direct fit. The pins are too narrow and the bone ends are smaller in diameter. Guess I will keep them around just in case others might need them at our tracks.

Cherry or anyone else, I need a direct fit 46mm shaft. Please link part#.
Thx.

Not sure which forum to ask this , but does anyone know a good place to order a large assortment of metric hex screws ? I ordered from "Fast Eddie" years ago but they don't seem to carry screws anymore... sizes that would mostly fit a Cyclone TC... pretty generic... Thanks for any help on this

Hi peeps, Ive been reading some post from earlier on this thread regarding gear diffs in our Cyclone TC cars...
Have anybody been successful as far as what parts/configurations work?
Reason im asking... i am looking at getting a gear diff to try out but unsure what to buy! I dont want to end up spending more than what i should... just want to buy parts once since i would have to order them.
Part number(s) would be ever so helpful if you can provide these for a complete swap over to a gear diff... thanks
