It might only be .5 mm but remember that's about 25%.

thats true man. Does anybody here run their cyclone on indoor carpet with foam tires? I need a good starting point for a 75'x45' ozite medium grip carpet with foams.
Car is a moore-speed cyclone. Car has a front ball diff.

whats the craziest gearing you've ran on your cyclone without using a brushless motor mount set?

Im thinking about a 96t spur mated to a 47t pinion gear. Will it fit? (64pitch of course)

What about bigger pinions and the same spur?

towerhobbies and stormerhobbies have TONS of cyclone parts in stock. Also if your looking for hopups or replacement parts eBay is awsome too.

There is a seller on eBay named HKShobby and DInball, they have lots of parts from 3 racing that work with the cyclone for super super super cheap.

A complete set of 4 shocks (purple anodized) for the cyclone is $20, complete. The rebuild kit is only $4.17.
