And with Diff protectors, I went into a shop just yesterday and bought a Team Atlas set for the TA05 and it fits really nicely, almost as if it was made for the Cyclone (i have the narrower pulleys on my Surikarn Edition) so perhaps give that a go.
I had a look on the Edit Website - the parts look very nice for the Cyclone. Any idea of an online store where I could buy these parts as there is no distributor here in Australia for them??

Even so, the look of their parts seem to be pretty good, like the lightened layshafts as well which is why I am interested. I might see the price and gasp, but I have yet to find a place where I can buy these parts.
BTW RC-Zombies - you may want to trim that rear wing.

the Layshaft I'm interested too...I've looked...only place to get edit parts are from the UK.. Apex Models has them listed..
Next time my Brother's GF goes back to the UK for a visit.... I'll have pick me up some parts.
yea...the rear wing need to be trimmed...since it's not really a ROAR sactioned race...anything goes.
Thanks Roger... I'll need it...competitions going to be tough...

61393 Ball Differential Set For Cyclone.
It's been available for awhile.
66403 Cyclone S without body.
66405 Cyclone S with Moorespeed Stratus body.
Stormer will probably be the first in the states with the Cyclone S kits and parts.

I have the TIR spool in my surikarn kit fits no problem just use 2 orings behind the end of the dogbones.Works like a charm
