to move the motor further back

I am new to the Cyclone, what I notice with most I should say all Cyclone is they have the sway bars on, is it a must that you run the sway bars? I am racing mostly on carpet with foam tires. The car I ran before was the RDX and I didn't have to use the sway bars, I just work with spring I guess because the car was very stiff I didn't have to use the sway bars.

Xray driveshafts (and also axles and couplings) are used simply because cyclone outdrives do not fit into the Xray driveshaft slots. BTW, other dimensions of the driveshafts are exactly identical, you can use e.g. Xray axles with cyclone dogbones and xray couplings (or any other combination).
Xray axles are worth for a try: they are lighter (4g to 4.5g) and seem more durable than the original Cyclone ones. (xray axles have two different positions to secure driveshaft pins therefore they have two lives.

The car is awsome. I really like it! The only reason I'm selling mine is because I picked up a ride with Schumacher. Thats it
