for you guys running LI-PO, what do you do about the weight issue? Just adjust for tweak using the spring pre-load collars?

Ok right now Im using custom made maxamp packs with lead weight sglued to the bottom for a stealth look. Its like a metal chassis plate that nobody can see and it makes the pack weigh 14oz. I just don't like how the carbon sticker i wrapped it in is started to peel back and look ghetto. Thats why I wanted a nice, hard cased, professional carbon lipo pack. But the retards that make them don't put weight in them.

Anyone have a used Cyclone they would be willing to sell. I am wanting to put one together for rubber tire carpet and asphalt racing.

Thanks,

To use an Associated diff screw what part do I need beside the diff screw and T-nut?

How about thrust ball and washer? Can the original one fit associated diff screw?

Beside the part(s) do I need to drill the outdrive to accommodate the 2.5mm associated diff screw since the original screw is (was) 2mm.

I snapped the Moore speed diff screw’s button head right off during break in the diff on the bench. So, I never even had a chance to run the car

My car was pushing bad on corner exit with a front ball diff. I run rubber tire on low grip carpet. Well I swapped the ball diff out for a front one-way and WOW the car is awsome! It has soo much off-power steering! nice!

WOW is all I can say about this car. I was dialed from the very first battery pack. The car was easy to drive and looked to stay preet flat through the high speed section of the track. I'm running the 16tooth pulley and stock belts to stay with the stock internal ratio of 2.4 What's the ratio if I go to the 18 tooth pulley and longer belts??? Is it like 2.1 or something around there? I turned more than a few heads today after the runs I had. Missed tq after making som mistakes in the last lap and a half. I have a few things I'd like to try the next time out and the next time I will have my boy Scotty to help with the testing.

Bring on the fun!!!!!
