Or use the older style parts which dont have graphite in them. From the S or the Hara/ Moore edition.

Great job! I have been running my Cyclone S in RCGT and 17.5 and it is always at the top 3. My TC/Moorespeed is already a proven car. The Cylone platform is just a great all around car.

Great work! Were you running the TeamWave speedo? If so, how did it compare against the other timing advance guys (Tekin, LRP, etc)? Thanks.

Exotek is closed from 11/24 - 12/11 per your sig. Does this mean if I order it online I won't get it until after 12/11?

Please advise,

That's lame as hell. Guess they don't want any Xmas sales. Thought about getting one, but not if I have to wait a month for it to even ship. (or longer, with built up backorders.)

That's good to hear. Will they have the battery hold down bars as well? I hate taping the battery in.
