Hey guys

Would these work on the Cyclone TC?

I can't find the Hotbodies drive shafts anywhere.

yes, those will work...the cyclone and cyclone TC use a 44mm shaft - only the TCX uses a different size shaft in the front

Have you put some decent run-time in on the cyclone / gear-diff combo? I want to try it but I also want to know if it's had issues with performance or sloppiness due to all the shimming required. Thanks .

I've got two Exotek chassis', and on both of them, a screw on one of the rear blocks has blown through the carbon chassis - the countersink was a bit too deep, and an impact drove the screw sideways into the carbon, splitting it....

I was able to fix one of them, but the other one is toast as the chassis is cracked...

Can anyone give me a list of other supplies of TC chassis? There's Smokem, but who else?

Erk, my bad. Smokem seems to have a replacement chassis for the TCX, not the TC....

Exotek.

It's way better than the original.

Exotek is a good chassis, perhaps too hard in the middle, sometimes the TC original it works better!

I'm looking for something other than another Exotek chassis guys, as I've already had two fail.

But thanks for suggesting Exotek
