Is Andy Moore Edition Cyclone Li-Po and Brushless friendly? I’ve heard something about new motor mount pacifically designed to make brushless motor fits. Does it come with the kit or I have to buy it separate?

The BL motor mounts are raised up, so if you run MOD with BIG spurs then you would want that, I remember Marcos j said 108 fits no mods, and any bigger sticks out the bottom of the chassis....
But if yours doing stock or 19T, it doesnt matter
It doesnt come with the kit

That should read 6 cell brushless mod, if you are running 5 cell mod you probably wont need the brushless motor mount.
Actually you might if you go below 3.5 with an LRP

hey mangoman, is the hobby popular in australia? Are parts/kits expensive? How much in USD are NIB andy moore cyclones there? How about parts?

It is not as big in Australia as it is in the US. A morespeed in australia will set you back about US $600 and parts are a little more as well. Most people still buy from Hong Kong and the US as it still works out cheaper.

Does anyone have a Moore Speed WCE Cyclone they want to sell? Either from the states or Australia, looking at spending around $200 as it is an old car now. Postage to Brisbane, Australia 4000.

why does the kit stock setup call for a thicker rear sway bar than the front? It just doesn't make sense

Also we dont have many kids racing (or at least in sydney) which i guess could be due to the large initial cost of getting into competitive racing.

Wimpy diff screws & wandering layshaft
Thought I had the diffs figured out with the alum. outdrives and then broke another diff screw tonight. 
Thats three in three weeks.
I just dropped the one way in front and said forget about it for now. I was running the front diff tight admitadly. I'm gonna sand the next diff rings and drill the outdrives to accept a beefy screw. Any suggestions ??
I built the car as per the instructions and the layshaft wanders and the bearings are not seated tightly in the bulkheads any suggestions? Locktite on the outside?
