1. What size C-Cub is the best for asphalt/rubber racing? 4deg
2. Where can I get the pdub bumper (would prefer to get it when I order all my other parts together)? Parma universal bumper.. cut to fit.
3. Where can I order purple screws for the top and titanium for the bottom (i beleive that someone said that they got these in a set)? don't recommend Ti screws for the bottom.. the holes are not countersunk deep enough unless you countersing all the holes deeper..
4. What tuning pivot blocks should I get for ashpalt/rubber racing? all pivot blocks you need should be included in the car.. if not.. the standard 2.5 in front and 3deg. in the rear is all you need.

Thanks.

i used the silver and gold hpi shims and placed the on the rim of the shock body before putting on the top cap. no leaks.

I use the silver shims as well..but I place mine on top of the bladder...inside the shock cap. once it's inside there is no chance of it fallout out.

Occationally the 1.5 block is used at the front outdoors too, on fast open tracks where steering aggression isn't so much needed.

Will Corally RDX's steering knuckle fit on Cyclone? I've heard RDX's C-hub can fit but not sure on steering knuckle...

Im using xray t2 ones on mine. They seem just a tad beefier, and the tracks I run at were more likely to have them.
