Yeah thanks RCM, Thats all good and well but it doesnt help me when installing them to the car, there are these stupid ball studs, ball ends and balls all through out the kit. Now if 3 racing expect me to change the damper ends to the ones that came with my cyclone s then they are kidding themselves as I didnt buy something thats going to have to cause extra work and also risk scratching the shock shaft so I'm going to ask them for a refund.

Thanks

Hmm yeah i wouldnt want to use ball ends on my shocks. Id be worried about them popping off at some critical time. is the shock the shaft the same as the cyclone s one? If they are i would take the whole shock shaft out of the old one (with the end) and use that instead.

Default Brushless 13.5 gearing

I have a Cyclone on the way and was wondering about gearing with a 13.5 brushless. This is for rubber tires on carpet. What spur and pinions are people using? It's probably been covered but can't seem to figure out how to search just the thread right now...

i dont run brushless but i twould think that it would matter a bit on your track size. you should ask the local guys what final drive they run with theirs then put that on yours.

AH in reference to springs means Atsushi Hara. Atsushi has his own line of matched springs.
