The original shock towers are 3mm thick, you guys want 4mm shock towers?

No but Andy Moore did with his Cyclone. I think he finished 6th overall.

...QUOTE]
new revised 3.5mm shock towers are suppose to be coming out soon..along with narrow 39t pulleys, updated 2.5mm chassis, and updated right side middle bulkhead.
Hara and Surikarn edition cars will probably come out first.

Well my Cyclone showed up a day early at my hobbyshop so after I clean the work bench and organize some I will begin prepping the chassis!!!!!!!!!! Did take a quick look at the directions and from what I saw it looks fairly standard and easy to build thats for sure. Will have a rolling chassis sometime Saturday and install my electronics then as well.

should take you approx. 3hr.51min.32sec. to build.
everything goes together fairly smoothly
have fun.

Great thing I I have plenty of time this weekend to getting the car setup plus I ordered all my spare parts. I wanted to get Square alum front steering knuckles and rear alum. hubs but Speedtech didn't show having the steering knuckles in stock so I think I will just wait for Steve to get some in. No fond of order over seas if I don't have to. If you know of a place in the states that has them in stock let me know.

the money you save can pay for other jet parts like the aluminum swaybar mounts, updated upper bulkheads etc..
go to Precision Rc website.
