so you mean i should change back to std track width because for the moment i have the purple hex clamp in front it has -1mm track width.
The black hex clamp are the std ones. so i should go back to the black hex clamp.
thanks

try some antisquat in the rear, that'll keep some more weight on the front wheels under acceleration too. i also find the car easier to drive with wider front track, i've used as much as +.75

Well due to a forum glitch I can't post these up forsale for the time being but I am selling the full set of 3racing ssg parts (both shock towers, both top decks and front cumper support) only had them on for a race and modified the rear plate for some extra flex. Asking $45 shipped.

Also selling the nitro rs4 rear gear diff which drops in the cyclone just have to put in pro4/tc3 axles $30 shipped for that.

Can the new 2.6 diff screw be used on the original style diffs?

Can you just drill out the old diffs to fit the new screw?

Thanks

Setup question series - Q#1

guys, I'll start a series of technical questions here to help all our fellow cyclone/TC users (me included) set up our favorite car properly... all I'm asking is to please post an answer only if you know what you're talking about (as the internet allows everyone to answer any question "just because one can") and not because "you think" or "you've heard". So here's... Question number one!

When would one decide to stiffen one end of the car via the rollbars rather than via stiffer springs and the other way around? What would be the consequences of one versus the other?

Hoping this will be helpful - thanks!

I doubt it, but if im not mistake people were using i think a tc3 diff screw though, after drilling the hole a little bigger

But in my opinion you are better off just saving up the cash and buying a new diff kit. You dont need the aluminium diff halves the delrin ones seem to be quite durable and besides the cost of the little plastic blades is a bit of a joke.
