Ignore this guy....he tends to be a complainer all the time.Sell the car and move on to another thread to irritate others.Sell crazy someplace else.
The only thing i could, is cover the top side of mount with decals, that i did already, or maybe i will change the flat 1 of RC Square if i could find in HK in Monday.
About the washer is not big deal, in case i have the spare 1 from aluminium diff cup, but i think is due the copper washer which made the corrosion of the silver 1, i guess.
About the other i want to tell is, also the spool/one way is not well made, the CNC machinering of HB didn't made well in round side of this part.

Without going back to the beginning of the thread, what does the different degrees of the front pivot blocks do (1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3)??

I ask this same question a few weeks ago and not one of the Cyclone so call racers didn't know or answer my question. It is for inboard toe out which is the same as toe out with the front tires but you don't have to say use 1deg toe out on the front tires instead using inboard toe and get the same result.

Sorry guys, looks like I missed that post. 
Arm sweep is pretty useful, but it changes a few things all at once. It changes the angle of the inner hinge pins in relation to the center line of the chassis (kinda like this: \ /) , and as a result it shortens the wheelbase, and changes the steering geometry as well. If you want to isolate all the other changes it does, you'll have to change your ackerman and wheelbase accordingly. To be perfectly honest, I never do that...
If you weren't going to change anything else but the front toe block it would do as follows: Adding arm sweep will make the car enter the corner a tiny bit smoother, and create a noticeable increase in steering at the apex/middle of the corner. When you take arm sweep out, it makes the car turn in a little bit crisper, but have less steering in the middle of the corner.
Hope that's a better explanation than what you have received in the past.

Not really.If it doesn't affect handling,I don't worry about something minor like that.I know its about the bling factor for some and the car needs to look perfect.To each their own.Just hoping he will keep his negativity out of this thread.

Has anyone ever run a solid axle both front and rear on their cyclone???
I just purchased two to try this... I know it will push into the corner but I'm willing to give it a try lol.
