Don't think that will work, the bulkheads are farther apart on the Cyclone than on the Xray.

You can use Xray CVDs in the front if you use a one-way, replace the HB one-way outdrives with Xrays and you are set.

One other question, guys:

Where can I find Square's Pro4 aluminum steering knuckles, blocks and rear upright?

They're out of stock at speedtech, so.....

Thanks.

I knew it was you (E-Maxx Rocks).

I actually need the diff joint made of steel or atleast a very tough aluminum.

I think the X-Ray's diff joints will fit. They're long enough and they're 10mm in size. This'll enable me to use the X-Ray's CVDs, too.

I'll get them later, though.

Do you know where can I find alumnium knuckles, blocks and uprights for the Cyclone?

Cyclone Fanatics-

I just built WCE Cyclone and I just want to ask what's the best servo? Do I need low profile servo?

Also, does anyone put a mamba combo, what's your gearing?

Thanks for your inputs guys.


cheers,

Nellguess

Thanks Addam

Nellguess,

Hi, I'm also from the KSA and I live in Jeddah. How about paying us a visit?
We'll be opening a nice on road track at the Jeddah Race Way, soon.

Well, a standard size servo will work just fine. If you want to be safer, get the low profile.

As for the Mamba Max, I'll be only using the E.S.C with Kontronik's Twist-55 brushless motor and TrakPower's 4900mah lipo pack.

I'd recommend you to get either the 5400 combo or the 6900 combo. Gearing should be a little higher than the equavilent brushed motors.

TRFMAD,

The delrins are tough, but they tend to break at very high stress. I'd go with the aluminum ones.

Captain Harlock-

Thanks for the input, I'll probably order low profile servo, then. Mamba Maxx 6900 is on the kit right now and I'm on "trial and error" gearing combination. What's your gearing right now, for me I will start with Spur=106 Pinion=31. Any inputs on gearing.

Well, how I wish I can visit you there in Jeddah. I'm happy, you're soon having a racetrack. Here in Riyadh, we only run in parking lots more on drag racing.

cheers,

Nellguess

Ive got a delrin in mine but only running 5 cells. After 1 meet it looks like there is no wear but when setting the diff it felt inconsistent (which is something others had said it would be)

If you go with delrin out drives dont forget to get the retaining rings (in purple of course!!!!)
