Who plans on moving over to the TCX when it comes out? Any specific features that make the TCX a "must have" for you?

I'm in for one. Lipo chassis, narrow bulk heads, double steering cranks and a chassis with more flex are the major things I like.

Whats the largest battery dims for a lipo pack to fit in a Cyclone TC with the HBS67695 Lipo Battery upper deck installed? I don't really want to grind anything.

This is the upper deck...

What do you guys do to secure your lipo to the TC? I am converting my cyclone S to a TC, already have most of the important parts, including the upper and main carbon chassis. Before I converted to the carbon chassis, my lipo had a place to sit (in the plastic tub) but now, I have to use battery tape! I run three batteries, and am sick of having to retape them! The exotech chassis is nice and all, but at almost $100 I would rather sell my roller and add $100 to get a TC-X preorder!

P.S. Tony Vega, I will take measurements when I get home, I have the lipo upper deck, and an oversize 2s lipo, Fits like a glove, but as stated above it needs to be strapped down!

Hey guys, I have a question about gearing my car. I just picked it up and I'm about ready to run it for the first time. But I have no 64 pitch gears, so I'm about to order some. I just wanna make sure I buy the correct size pinion gears (and maybe a spur gear) so I'm not wasting money. I headed over to HB's site and seen that Barry Baker used a 64p 108 spur and a 37t pinion for a FDR of 6.33 with a 13.5 brushless motor for the KO Grand Prix 2009.

I will be running 13.5 as well so I am guessing I can just buy this spur and pinion and be good to go? I want to be able to play around with a few different size pinion gears incase my motor gets hot while racing. I don't know if 37t is on the high end or low end or in the middle tooth wise.

Would any of you Cyclone TC regulars help me out? What FDR should I be shooting for and what size gears can I get away with in the stock motor mount?

I'm not sure if this info will help or is needed, but we run on a med to high grip asphalt track that varies from technical to flowing depending on how the track directors feel like laying it out that Sunday. It measures 120' x 80' with a full 120' straight.

To anyone who has a answer for me, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

hi guys
with brushless motor mount, what is the maximum spur gear that can fit?
I want run with 4,5T motor, 108T spur is too small...
thanks!

ShaunMac

On the stock motor mount you can fit 27T - 42T pinions with a 108T spur.

Your gearing is going to be severely affected by your speedo and it's settings. Not to mention, what 13.5 motor you're running. Some like a lot more or a lot less gear than others. Some are geared down in the 5's while others are up in the 8's.

ShaunMac

According to HB. 110 is MAX.

Luppi Stefano

are you sure?
because brushless motor mount is 2mm high, 2+2=4mm for all Diameter of spur gear...108T is 43,3mm, 111T is 44,7mm, but the maximum diameter of spur(43,3 + 4mm) is 47,3mm
or not?
