What's the little pc board thingy in the shrink wrap? Is that one of the older Spheres? Which wind b/l motor and does the speedo get too hot without the heat sink. Only reason I ask this is I plan on torturing my old Sphere in a naked state with a 13.5. When I let the magic smoke out, I will replace it. And last but not least, how do you like that shock?

1. MRT PTX transponder, cloned shrink wrap version. It has my number in it plus 20 others I can switch to if I loan the car.
2. Sphere Competition 2007. They are still made in addition to the TC version.
3. That is a 17.5, I've run 13.5 and 10.5 with no problems. At Vegas last year we ran a 5.5 in mod with an older Sphere Comp with no problems.
4. The Cyclone shock is just the best one available now. It's a real shock with a bladder and all. The shaft is a little long, you can use it as is and sometimes run out of spring adjustment, or put a spacer under the piston.
The shock has a great feel to it, Josh Cyrul has even run them on the Scythe.

Magic Smoke!
