Hey Guys,
Ran the Cyclone for the first time over the past week and it is a very good car. I used to drive a 415MSX and there is a substantial difference with the steering and grip available on the Cyclone. I am already as fast if not faster with the Cyclone then I was with the 415MSX. :-)
But, like with the 415, I still get plenty of grit in my diffs causing me to rebuild it every 4-5 runs or so. I saw a picture of this diff cover used by Hara on his tutorial of how to build a Hotbodies Cyclone and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas where I might be able to get one??
Thanks in Advance

Upgrade Time
Just drove my brand new Cyclone this weekend. 
Our track is outdoor asphalt, in sunny/hot south Florida, with mid-low traction. Car was awesome. I broke all my personal records, and no one could keep up with the car. Handles awesome and goes fast through the corners and out with very smooth acceleration and shoots straight to where you want it to go. We run brushless 4.5 or 5.5 systems w/ Orion 4800mah Lipo packs. Cars are very fast out there, but the cyclone was just a notch ahead in handling out of the box. Now, I have been thinking of getting a spool for my car...will a front spool work with the one way middle pulley, or will I have to change it to a solid one? Also, what upgrades will be good to enhance the car's durability and performance? Also, need some good set up sheets for the car in outdoor asphalt, hot, med-low traction...thank you
