I will have to look at the settings on my LRP and see what they are all set to. The standard setting should be more than enough to get you in the ball park though. I only change the drag brake and punch settings most of the time. I haven't run the Orion 4800 with a 13.5 and the LRP speedo yet. I would also take a look at the timing that you have on your motor. That might help out some too.

96 spur with a 45 pinion. My internal ratio is stock at 2.4375 (WCE car)

96/45*2.4375=5.2

WRONG!! Cyclones finished 1st, 2nd and TQ'd at the 2007 Snowbirds in the Stock Foam class.

In this case it beat many RDX's.

Those cars wasn't cyclones they were clones with HB parts and Larry could take a Radio Shack anything and win in any race, I sure didn't see Hara win any foam race with the cyclone or tc.

thanks for your reply

You're right. No wins. It would probably help if Hara ran more than one US Foam race a year!

The Cyclone is definately more durable than the RDX Phi, but I'll second the opinion that its more suited to rubber tires on asphalt or carpet. For foam tires on carpet, the RDX Phi is top of the heap, sharing top spot with the Xray 008/009 and Losi JRXS-R. Chosing amonsts those three is a matter of personal preference, what your track/LHS carries parts for, and what help you can get from the local hotshoes.

Looking for help choosing a pinion for a starting point for the new TC...for 17.5 brushless/lipo rubber carpet. Any help would be great!

also, noticed that the steering turnbuckle hits just a bit on the top of the purple front hinge pin holder/brace when turning it one way, but not on the other side, any suggestions as to why?

uneven droop settings... or the car is tweaked?

it's brand new, just finished building it, checked the droop setting, how do I check if it is tweaked?

place the chassis on a flat surface or set-up board. if the chassis doesn't sit flat then its tweaked. loosen the topdeck screws and retighten making sure the chassis sits flat.

also, make sure the shims under the FR suspension block are the same.

It can bind a touch, but if the car is not fully loaded there is less clearance.
There are hara build notes somewhere and he dremels down the corner of the FR (or whatever) block.

http://www.acerracing.com/ $7.99 each No, I'm not associated with them, I just happen to use the bearings.
Boca makes various flavours of ceramics with different seals and tolerances (you could go all the way up to ABEC7), but they are all more expensive than the acers.
To cover the drivetrain, you'll need 8 5x10's for the hubs, 4 10x15's for the diffs, and 2 4x8's for the layshaft. I wouldn't recommend ceramics inside the diff, on the steering arm or on the belt tensioner, since the load on those bearings is fairly low.
