I also had this problem with 2 of my shock bodies. You just need to gently persuade the shock collar onto the threads, by turning it forward and backwards. Gradually it will move up the shock body and after that it should be fine, it took me a few minutes to do this but it's better than buying new parts

Actually thats kinda what I did plus I used my Dremel with some a little rubbing compound and just went over the lower part of the shock body some and problem was solved. I still ordered a spare shock body and threaded collars since Stormer has them in stock.

That was the only problem in the kit. For those who want to try Rayspeed springs they are about 2mm longer than the stock kit springs. I had no problems getting my 5mm ride height with these springs and rubber tires. I went with the Red springs for the front and whites for the rear like I did on my Cuda's. Car feel really nice. I'm in the finishing stages now. Just put in electronics and need to adjust them and then put on my new lid and its actually ready to test on the track.

I thought I read that the Xray front belt fits this car. Didn't run my car yet but I sprayed out the grease and re-oiled with WD-40 and without running the car it is very free. I imagine once I run it a few packs it will be better.

Hey Jason ........... how did your racing go this weekend ? Chaulk up another win with your Cyclone ?

tamiya bladder is stiffer than any hpi bladder. also tamiya bladder is slightly smaller diameter.

also the foam on top contributes to rebound, so changing it to 2 o-rings along with the tamiya bladder will give you WAY less rebound dampening than normal. the hpi foam is very soft (mainly compared to tamiya red urethane).

so if your car is porpoising or unloading a corner too quickly you may look into changing that.

If you go back to post # 2424 you can reas about my solution for the broken stud problem.

BTW ran in the florida state series this week end and ran well no problems at all and I have to say that the car is extremly stable with double oneways. I Ran the Hara nats set up (the race was at speedline hobbies) I just showed up and put the car down, I didn't have to change a thing. I felt good and I haven't been this competitive in a while infortunately the rust from not racing in a while got to me and I didn't finish well. I didn't have any relivility problem to speak of and I'm very happy with the car.

Jason it was a pleasure to meet you, Again let me know if their is anything I can help you with. Im going to see if I can make it out to B&B sometime before next ST race. Thanks again for the set up nuts Ill be puting those things to good use.

has anyone had massive understeer with their cyclones with the kit setup. Despite what changes I make to car (and I have had help from HPI) I still get major understeer. I am thinking I have built something incorrectly.

Any help?

Something must be wrong, I would go over the whole car with a fime tooth comb. I found my self tuning out steering with the stock set up and this was racing with a front diff and loked center pully.
