New to the Cyclone, anyone have a pdf of the manual? Thanks.

Took the Cyclone out onto carpet last night for the first time - OMFG!

What a car. Only problem I had was the steering, there is tonnes of it! I turned the little knob down all the way on my controller to reduced the steering but there was still too much.

I think the main problem is me. I’m so used to the Pro4 and know when the right time to start turning in is, but it is about a metre to soon compared with the Cyclone. A bit more practice and this should be addressed.

I remember reading on this thread a while back, that some of you have moved the top of the front shocks in to reduce the steering sharpness, would that be correct? I currently have the top of my shocks in hole three (outside in) What do you guys do?

Cheers Ears.

Oh yeh, first impression of the Cyclone on carpet, Fan-bloody-tastic!! Roll on next Tuesday.

As far as I am aware, there is nothing available on the net. Only set-ups sheets.

What setup are you using? At the moment I am using the standard springs and just the front roll bar, and maybe a couple of slight differences on the shock positions to the stock setup and it works well. Just wondering whether it needs stiffening up a bit though...

JonboyGB

Hello, set-up is ...


FRONT

Shocks:
HPI White springs (20.3)
40wt
3rd hole at the top
Outer hole at the bottom

Silver roll bar
2.5 pivot block
1mm spacers f+r (under blocks)
2.5mm spacer under the camber link
Standard diff


REAR

Shocks:
HPI Pink springs (18)
30wt
3rd hole at the top
Middle hole at the bottom

Copper roll bar
3.0 pivot block
1mm spacers f+r (under blocks)
2mm spacer under the camber link
Standard diff


Centre pulley is all locked.

Ackerman is as kit setting.

Ride height is 5mm (not allowed to go lower - club rules)

JonboyGB

...just thinking. With regards the ackerman. If I go less than 4mm would I get more or less steering?
