Its also interesting to note that Paul L has been running a wider front hinge pin spacing on his xray (started a couple of years ago).

Cyclone s upgrades
Beings as this thread has over 19,000 replies, I'll ask here.
Is there any parts off the newer Cyclones that will work on the Cyclone S ?
Any recommended upgrades to the S version ?
thanks

Yeah the Exotek chassis have the holes pre drilled for the different front FR blocks...
Everything from the Cyclone WCE, Hara, TC will cross over to the Cyclone S... so the S can be fully upgraded to a TC but not a TCX.. I think the S works fine in standard form in the 17.5 and lower classes.. maybe change the front diff to a spool and upgrade the centre pulleys when they break to the Cyclone WCE 16T ones.. as the TC 18T ones will need a belt change.. get a full set of HPI spings.. thats it... until u want some purple on the car. Sway bar might help too..

Does the exotek chassis have the holes for the adjustable front track width?

But if you throw in a spool or one-way you will need to upgrade the center pulleys and lay shaft. The plastic pulleys will strip very easily.

I DONT NEED THE SERVO SAVER OR THE SPACERS ALL I NEED IS THAT SMALL INNER TUBE.. I ATTACHED A PIC BELOW SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT SINCE I PROBABLY DIDNT DESCRIBE EVERYTHING PROPERLY AND I AM SURE I DIDNT CALL THE PARTS BY THERE CORRECT NAME..

Errr good luck getting free parts....
Not sure what you are talking about but if you had problems getting the shims and bearings off its more than likely because you bent the shaft as opposed to someone gluing them to it.

steering
try getting the Cyclone S verion of the part...
the bar is silver in color and is about a third of the price.
go to Hot Bodies web site and pull manual for Cyclone S...for part number....then find who has it in stock.

I am looking to replace the spool in my Cyclone with a spec R gear diff. Which option is best. Yokomo style or Tamiya? Belts and rear diff pullies need replaced but anything else. front axels?
I have an Original cyclone with 18t center pullies now.
