Does anyone had fitted a trackpower lipo battery pack on the andy moore cyclone? what is the best way to do it?

With the stock pulley's diff and center, what is the best pinion/spur combination to use with a BL motor?

To calculate the final ratio with the stock pulley's what should i use? (spur/pinion)*2.4375?

Best regards,

Rodrigo

I would either try to shim the play out of the aftermarket one or use the stock one.

You are gunna munch your spur gear if you run it loose

I know at least two guys who used that Lipo in the Cyclone, F. Cordeiro and M. Macieira.
They can for sure solve you any doubt about this issue.

Is there more clearance for the battery, if you use the brushless motor mount?

For those that PM'd me...

2.0 transmission: 36/18
the belts are very very loose at the moment... looking for front/rear belts that are 1 tooth less than stock.
for now this is what I'm using:
(2) sets of 3Racing red belt tension cams
(2) sets of 3Racing 18T pulleys
(1) rear belt tensioner
(2) Pro3 36T diff pulleys... one of them you'll need to ream out to fit the one-way or spool.
able to get to a 4.6fdr using a 106/46 5cell for 10.5bl.

2.1666 transmission: 39/18
(1) Yok BD rear belt 189mm 63T
(1) Mi3 front belt 510mm 171T
(2) sets of 3Racing red belt tension cams
(2) sets of 3Racing 18T pulleys
the yok rear belt is a perfect fit.. waiting on the Mi3 belt to arrive. and I'll confirm fit. with the stock front belt..it's way way too Tight!! don't try it!

if you do order the 18T 3racing pulleys..make sure you also order some replacement pulleys... they are made for the TAO5..but fit the cyclone mounts and come 2ea.. 16/17/18T

pics of the 18T pulley installed and 3Racing 5cell chassis.

WOA! I just noteced the 5th bodt post!

Did you put a grub screw into the post, and then twist the post tight into the top of the servo saver spring?

What all do I need to do that mod? I want to do that!

well, i hooked up my mamba 7700 in my cyclone today and i'm not too impressed. too twitchy steering and some kind of torque steer ( like in a shaft drive) and absolutely zero brakesn it just spins around. i'm sure i've just got some setup issues to work out. but i cant figure out why i would have shaft like torque steer? anyone have any ideas or any recommendations on a high speed brushless setup for asphalt?
