A friend needs springs for his Cyclone for carpet foam 17.5. We can't find any suitable springs, any spring sets available or other company's springs fit the shocks?

xray springs work, associated springs work, all the hpi springs work.

I use a mixture of the hara pro4 spring set and the xray 008 spring set. For carpet i prefer the xray's over the pro4 since they are smoother in the higher grip carpet.

Corally springs work great too. Get the black set and the silver set and you'll be covered for any possible need.

my take on lipo plates is, if there's no lower weight limit at your track, run the car without adding more metal to it... yes it will be off balance a bit, but then the 150g you save more than make it up in terms of acceleration and nimbleness. You just have to keep in mind that the car is somewhat assymetric when you drive it.

I tried running without getting the balance back in the car and it was a very bad idea. Its going to be a handful to drive and your going to kill tires on one side. I would just take the time to do it right. You can also buy a box of weight at your local auto parts store for about $30 and share it with your friends. And by a box I mean like 15lbs of weight.

Well, it happens that at my track no one but one guy (and not the fastest one) runs any lipo plates... and we're a pretty competitive bunch, believe me, with a former vice-world champ and regular Euro top-30 finisher up until a couple of years back.

again - to each his own.... all I'm saying is lipo plates aren't a "must have", just a "nice to have" for some. I'm happily trading a bit of balance for 150g less on my car.

Hi from england!- i have a feeling this will only apply to the brit cyclone owners, but we race on a very low grip wooden polished floor, and i just wondered if anyone has any set up pointers? i have done the best I can so far, long camber links, shumacher 20 mm mini pins, 20- 30 cwt oil etc, but would like to take the car up a level. i use a novak 8.5 and lipo for the benefits of low maintenance, and I know thats ridiculous for such conditions, and the car is ok, but no more than that. would tightening the belt help straighten the car under hard acceleration? anyone advise on the droop etc? thanks for your help

Hi guys, why do people use stiffer front springs and softer rear springs , what will it do if its the other way round ?
Thanks

If you had harder springs in the rear than the front, the rear inside tire will most likely lift up in the corners. That will drive all the power to the rear inside tire, and not to the outside as well. This will destroy any power being transfered from the car to the ground, reducing corner speed.

Not to mention the car would be really hard to drive. Usually it would be really loose in the rear. It would spin out too easy.

Hope that made sense

What's your current set up and what would you like the car to improve on?
Belt tension wont really help with the car jerkin to one side on throttle...seems like your car might be tweaked or something is not lined up or unbalanced.

Is your car balanced left to right?

Make sure you have the equal amount of droop right and left, camber, toe, etc.
