Isn't that a similar design to the original? There must have been a reason for changing to the curved piece, I wonder why they've gone back to the straight bit?

come on people the version isn't that exciting, just look at the hop - ups only Nr. 6 & 12 are interesting and i think that 6 is the shooters motor mount brace but i don't know.
and we don't race spools in Holland so waste of money and come on alu servo mounts that's 15 euro's about 20 dollars, and thicker shock towers Why ?? but i am curious about the blue version it will be one hell of a MSX wannabee. i want to see a battery bar and the multi-flex system i want it to compete against the new x-ray .
But if i don't like the black any more i am gonna make my one Florian Spec cyclone that will be all green with a hint al purple titanium (just my dream )

Greetings Florian
heheeheh you should make a dutch orange like the soccer team hehhehe i dont think these are new version just what people are asking for purple versions.

Yeah that's a great idea only one problem i am not a soccer fan but i don't care i like the color orange anyway i just might do that make it a Team Orange Spec Cyclone and then with the red white and bleu shell ,
That updated middle block looks very familiar to the MSX .
And Rc - Zombies i am not really feeling the color it is not the hpi violet purple, i personally don't like it.

The stock piece bends if you have a very hard frontal crash. This permanently tweaks the car until it is replaced. HB didn't figure this out until regular joes started beating on the car.
