Ok I wasn't aware of that. I am going to keep an eye out when nexus racing gets these in and see if they will allow my to test fit them in the cyclone. I wonder if the xray c hub will also fit since I know the knuckles work on the cyclone

I wouldnt recommend running the original diff screws at all!! cant say it will fit either.. once the Pro Spec diff came out, the screw is bigger and fatter than the original since they use it on the offroad car... the original screw may leave you unable to race when it breaks..

i look forward to your results...

but lets assume it does fit through the hub, where does the extra length go? That part i dont understand...

it probably is normal not to fit.. the new one is definately longer and "STOUT"

perhaps a TC3 one may fit... use all the associated T-nut and screw.. you can try that. not positive though.

The extra 1.7mm just fits further into the drive cup if you run a front spool there is no problem. With the extra length on the rear it may contact the diff nut...but why you would need these in the rear is beyond me

Yes, that is normal. The old diff screw was M2 x 25mm. The new diff screw is M2.6 x 28mm.

Look for HB part #67725 - Pro-Spec diff screw set

maybe RC MARKET can test fit the Xray ECS driveaxles in his Cyclone. If he does and puts a note on the ECS page when its up, im sure EVEN MORE would sell as i know plenty of Cyclone owners would like something this....

Hi , ive got another question.
Could you guys tell me how to have abit more on power steering , not full speed steering but half speed on throtle steering.
Like more shims under rear camber link ( lower RC) but having more shims will make my rear end a bit loose .so is there other ways like
less droop i have 2.5mm front droop
or staighter rear shocks or any thing that could help me without affecting alot the rear end because if i put more shims under rear camber link , it will increase onpower steering but it will also decrease rear grip , and when i will go in chicanes my rear end will be loose.
So could you tell me everything that i could do to have abit more on power steering.
Thanks guys

Default Fit

I have the cyclone HB (black)
What Lipo packs fit best and has the best performance.
I will be running a 10.5. speaking of which.
Novak 10.5 with the blue ring or the orion Vortex 10.5 please post ANY experiences. I will be using the LRP sphere TC.

without shaving your bulk heads the best lipo pack that will fit is the SMC 4000. As far as motors go I'd go with the Novak. No one seems to really be running the Orion motors in the spec classes right now.
