Tower describes both parts as nylon construction. The expensive one is HB70715. Is that supposed to be delrin? It's also black and I thought delrin was about always white.
The Cyclone diff if delrin. The CycloneS is molded plastic. The S diffs are more likely to break than the Delrin. Delrin cost more as a material to start with.
Blacked out Revo, it probably is not that the car needs a oneway for more steering and for you to be as fast as the fast guys. If you are not getting the steering from a spool then you are, 1 over diving the car. Or 2 the setup is wrong.

Thanks. I was confused by the tower description then. Anybody use the Alloy? Since they are cheaper is that the better way to go?

Are they both the same other than the materials? With the S being so much cheaper they might be the way to go even if they are a little less durable.

If you go with the alloy. Then you have blades to worry about. If the bone cross pin wears thru the blade. It will then wear a groove into the alloy. At $10 per blade set. It is expensive. I use the 3 racing diff. It has blue blades that work well. I have found if you heat them up in the center. And squeeze them just a little. They will last much longer. They want to squish out after a while. I do rotate them also to get the most out of them. I run a diff in the rear and spool in the front. The 3racing blades are 2 pair for $5.

Hey guys i was wondering if there is any good setup for asphalt with the stock configuration? I'm running the original black cyclone so i have a one-way up front.. most of the setups are for spools, i haven't had time to grab a spool yet so i want to set it up for the one-way for now.thanks!

Nah the cyclone S diffs are a lot softer than the pro 4 ones. If im not mistaken the pro 4 diffs were made of that composite stuff they use on the rest of the car.
Yeah im thinking i will go with the delrin ones, im so cheap that by the time i change the blades theyve worn down into the diff cups
. If you go with the delrin or plastic diffs dont forget to get the retaining clips for them, i dont think come in the packet.
BTW last weekend my car was just wheel spinning everywhere, turned the punch down to zero on the car and even tried gearing it up but i was still getting massive wheel spin through the corners and the back of the car kept spinning out through corners, im sure i didnt have the drift tires on

What spur do you reccommend for the Atlas and Element???... they require a higher rollout dont they???...
So with an 81 im looking at... a 20 tooth or 21 i guess for a komodo???

PS: do you know the difference between Atlas Blue and Red???
