I just rebuilt my front diff and tried using two bearing instead of the spacers. Made it too thick, diff rings wouldn't clamp down.

Yub, yub, cmdr!

Maybe you have different version. Mine clamps down perfect.

Do you have the cyclone or the cyclone S?

Only the cyclone S has a front diff, unless you changed from the one-way to a diff on the regular cyclone.

The cyclone S diffs are different than the regular cyclone diffs.

I have a problem with my Cyclone and I cannot figure this out. I have been racing for 6 years now and I am experienced but this one is driving me crazy so I am going to ask help from anyone that owns the Cyclone.

I own a Cyclone WCE and I was racing one night and I broke a steering arm and a cvd.

Since that time when I hit the throttle and turn my servo to the right, when it is at full speed it is ok, but when it starts to slow down with the wheel turned to the right, it makes a binding noise.

Now I have replaced the CVD, steering block, C hub and everything else I could think of except the front belt.

I can't figure this out and it is driving me crazy. I am very meticulous about my car and my cyclone has always been extremely quiet but this makes my car loud when I turn to the right.

The noie almost sounds like it is coming from the right side of the steering column and then sometimes it sounds like it is coming from the layshaft area.

I NEED HELP

I would really like to hear any suggestions from ayone who has ran into this isue or anyone that has experience in RC and building kits.

PS Has anyone else noticed how easy it is to break the diff screw? I hve broken 3 so far and once again I am a experienced racer and I have never ran into thi problem until this car.

Thanks guys.

double check your outdrives on the front you may have bent the spool cup or if you have a one way in you may have smashed a one way bearing as for the diff scews they are crap read back though the post on this thread you will find a number of ways to stop this happening as regular i personley use a tc4 diff screw and retainer and drill the centre of the diff out to 2.5mm but its up to you what you wanna try.

I will definitely try that. It may be the outdrives but I replaced them as well and stil makes that same noise. Iam about to buy a new diff kit for front and back and also newoutdrives. I will look back on the post and take a look at some suggestions on the post.

If anyone else has ran into this issue let me know.

thanks Stuey.

if you are running a diff in the front,make sure that you built them with the 2 bearings and not with the shims.the shims are too thin and the outdrive will hop over the shim and make the outdrive run eccentric and create a chatter.i have seen this happen before to my buddy who built the diff as the instructions said to.you need to have the 2 bearings.

Check or replace your hub bearings also, one of them could have gotten damaged.

What parts of the CVD did you replace ?

Also check that the belt tensioners are set the same at each side of the car. Sorry if thats obvious, but I've seen people running them wrong
