What are the chances these fit on the cyclone? Anyone got any measurements?
I would really love to know if these would fit on my TC... I've noticed my car vibration during turning... does anyone know if the measurements are adaptable ?

So it means that i dont have to get the hb ones .
I asked this question because i remember you said that the 3racing bulkheads had issues , so i thought the same with the pivot block.
Thanks

Gentleman81

yes there are currenlty 5 models out.

1. Black cylcone Hara edition
2. Surikarn "limited edition" blue components not purple. hard to find.discontinued
3. Cyclone S model, lower end edtion.. all plastic.
4. Moorespeed tons of Purple Bling!! discontinued because of newer car. Expensive.
5. Cyclone TC the newest model out. Less expensive, not as much bling but
but better upgraded components.

I live in NoVa. raced both my cars at the HPI race @301. Setups are easy to find to get the car to work, car drives easy!! Parts are reasonably priced.

Currently racing at THE TRACK(MIMIs).. LMK if you need more info. I currently own 3 out of the 5 models... Chris @ 301 has seen my cars run, Vince drove my other car to see what electric was about.

Out of all the 3racing parts the lower bulkheads where the only things to have the problem the machined a little short. Everything else fit together fine
