Just now looking at the pics it occurs to me that if I mounted it the other way around it wouldn't be at an angle like it is now... D'oh!

You think the hardware store will have these 12mm o-rings?
My pro4 manual shows the 50432 o-rings but they did not come with the kit and I have never used them. Not sure what they would even do very well ?
The Cyclone manual dose not show them so you should be OK with out them.

the truth is the cyclone is slow with rubber tires on carpet. it just seem to always get beat by xray.

Really? That's a pretty generic statement to make about the Cyclone. Care to elaborate on that xraysteve? Us slow Cyclone racers are all ears.

The only thing I like about the Xray Fk05 I had was the adjustable shocks and the diffs. Pushed like a Dumptruck unless it was supersoft. Parts are hard to get and expensive.

i Just ran my moorespeed for the first time tonight on carpet and it was soo awsome!

I tapped the board lightly and it snapped the front arm and C-hub, I went from 4 degree hubs to 6 degree and noticed NO difference, looks like I will be adding 4 degree aluminum C-hubs tonight and then posting up pics of my cyclone here!

You will see how to properly wire a cyclone for brushless/lipo.

i didnt feel like swapping out the c-hubs, im too tired

If you look hard enough, you'll see I mounted the powercap behind the motor! The switch on/off is in front of the Rx, the servo and ESC connections as well as the AMBrc have been shortened. I even shortened the sensor harness for the motor! I then took a black sharpie to the wires to give them a sleek stealth look!

I think its super clean! If your wondering, its a maxamps 5000mAh carbon pack w/ Lipo lead glued to the bottom to bring it up to 12 oz.

I would of take them sensor harness and ran it behind the speedo, and came around so it isnt out in the open

Not bad I will finish mine soon (I hope!)

Id just move the sensor wire, run it in-between the motor and esc towards the middle of the car, and then to the sensor port, so it isnt as hanging out there

I dont have a esc at all yet... But I have pics so far on the page before this one
