Default widen a cyclone?

what would be the best way to widen a cyclone to around 200mm? I'm going to use it in VTA and the body I chose needs the wheels to be further pushed out to fit properly in the wheel wells.

On my cyclone with '69 camaro body i'm actually too wide by using some modified hex adapters from some old hpi 2.2 rims I had kicking around. The width is spot on for the older camaro body.

HPI makes a hex adapter set including aluminium spacers in .5 and 1mm.

what body are you trying to run? most, if not all, of the HPI bodies are made to run with the 31mm +6mm offset rears...with the 26mm +0mm offset fronts...

i know the pegasus bodies are wider then the HPI's...but nothing that should require extensive widening

hey cyclone guys - guess what???

the tcx gear diff will fit the cyclone chassis you do need some spacers/shims to move everything in the appropriate spot (ie, bearings), but the gear diff fits

Default CVDs

Does anyone know who has the Cyclone CVDs in stock?

I broke an axle and cup on mine and desperately need a replacement but it seems they are out of stock everywhere.

Have you tried stormer, hotbodies online store, speedtech?

What model of cyclone is it for and if you have a part number that would be great and I will see if I can track you down some.

Maybe the double jointed ones will work.

Hey guys is there a way to use the 20t TCx pulleys on a TC? Ive seen drifters use it for the rear for their countersteer setups but I am wondering if its possible to run the 20t for both front and rear

check back a few pages...I asked the same question and charlie_b gave me the answer...

basically you need the pulleys, belts, the pins, and the center shaft from the cyclone S...you need to enlarge the holes to fit the pins from the tcx
