I will still have the TC5 but it's looking like more of the runs will be with the cyclone. I will need a Pdub bumper for my cyclone and the TC5 if I'm going to keep it around. I also wanted to catch up to Marco's in cars owned....LOL

Im putting a ball diff up front on my moorespeed. I need parts but I can't find the copper washer 12x10x.1mm!!!

or some diff washer that measures 12x10x.3mm, it sucks because I don't wanna run the diff loose or too tight in the bulkheads.


Oh and do you guys know if the titanium coated diff screw HOT61089 includes the T-nut? If not can I just use an HPI t-nut?

lol, Black cyclone for STLNLST, is that by choice, or? I want a black cyclone, I just would rather spend money on my trucks right now.....

Good luck finding the P dub for the cyclone, I just ended up using a T2 bumper, I got sick of waiting Unless you know where to get them?

Tower Hobbies has HPI 10x12x0.2mm washers. Stock#Z892

The HOT61089 does include the T-nut.

To get a 4.0 FDR you could run a 90T spur with a 54T pinion. There are many combinations you could use.

90/54 x 2.43 = 4.05 FDR

I would be easier to get some 18T pulleys and new belts to hit the low FDR's

Then you dont have to have such big pinions, and smaller spurs..... I cant find any 64P pinions over 47 in stock

I recently did the pulley / belt upgrade to 18T. the front belt is baggy like grampa's shorts even when adjusted to the max. the 2.16 ratio is nice for brushless though. also had pretty good luck with 88T spur gear, looked stupid with a 48 pinion but it was really quiet.
