I wanted to use the thicker chassis and two pro-diffs for carpet. if I can find a kit.

Kit's are due early September. Sounds like you might be running foam tires on carpet. The setup you were thinking of doing will be great. I would also suggest the 2.5mm upper deck and middle deck as well.

i had that setup in my cyclone and it was awsome

I just picked up a second hand cyclone black. The car has a front one-way installed as well as a center one-way. Was it worth it to get or should I have gotten the TC? The brushless motor mount is $50.

Is there a asphalt top deck and chassis? or is it designed for it?

The brushless motor mount is only needed for 6 cell modified motors (like a 3.5).

You may need to upgrade to the new center pulleys though if you are planning on running 17.5.

And the cyclone is an Asphalt weapon as it is.... stick with the existing decks.

just a quick question , the cyclone TC has an 18 tooth pulley and the moorspeed an 16 tooth pulley .what would be best for modified racing 5.5 brushless .
And also does the TC has an 18 tooth pulley only for the front belt or on both belt (i know that sounded like a silly question but i wasnt sure) and whats the advantage of the 18 tooth pulley
thanks in advance

the cyclone moorespeed has 16t pulley's and the new TC has the 18t pulley's You can put 18t pulley's on any car if you want. the 18t pulley's bring your DTR to 2.166 but if you were using the 16t pulley's your DTR will be 2.4375 i think.

Whatever you do, get the 18t pulleys. yes both pulley's on the TC are 18t.

cyclone speed

about the FDR your right 2.166 for the TC and 2.4375 for the moor speed
But are the 18 tooth pulley made for torque motor like brushless?
and from what i understood there is two 18 tooth pulley ( front , rear ) on the TC
thank you

The Two 18T pulleys are the center pulleys to the right and left of the Spur gear.

The 18T pulleys give the car a 2.16 IR, which makes it easier to gear 10.5, 13.5, and 17.5 motors.

so does it mean i sould stay with my 16 tooth pulley .
I have a 5.5 brushless

Yeah it will be easier to gear with the 16t pulleys

So long as you can hit your final drive ratio it doesn't really matter which pulley you run. The 18T just helps get the lower FDR needed for 17.5 and 13.5 motors. The 18T pulley on paper should also be a little more efficient due to less belt wrap. With the killer lipo's and brushless motors that we have we won't really be able to tell the difference.

I would think with the 18T pulleys there would be more belt surface area touching, meaning more belt wrap...right? I plan on running the VT/A class and trying to figure out if the 18s would help or hinder me?

thanks for the quick reply guys
