why would you need to do that??

if you did, you'd need:
correct belts - don't think the standard cyclone's will work
bearings
outdrives/cvd shafts (if the stock ones don't work)

just looking for a few ideas
Tighten up your diff. It should be smooth and not slipping.

Post your setup if possible. It will help others help you out much better.

Asphalt? Carpet?

I got everything sorted out.. However, my car seems like it pushes a bit coming into the corner... Actually it pushes a lot, where as I kind of have to use the brakes to swing it around. What do I need to change to give me a more turn-in? rear droop? It was a previous asphalt car, so I am trying to make the switch to carpet with it!

Thanks i thought i might need a low profile one, Ive got a Hitec HS-5645MG spare but when mounted its very close to the belt..

I was looking at a Savox SC-1251MG..

the savox is also a good choice - the same size of the futaba, but 2/3 the price

I just replaced both of my 9551's with the savox servos

Default Spec R

Hi mate just get a Spec R gear diff for the TCX.. have one in the rear of my Cyclone and its works fine.. use it with 2000 oil and its perfect.. just get some automotive silicone sealant to use with it to make sure it doesn't leak.. also u will need to use a couple of shims on the diff to make sure there is not too much movement..

Cheers
