I have one, but this is the heart of Tamiya Season so I'm running my Tamiya cars right now.

I noticed a pic the other day where Hara had a belt tensioner mounted on his rear belt (i think at the reedys). Maybe its something to do with that? **SHRUG**

The rear belt is usually run slightly tighter than the front using the cams.

Andy's been using the new pulleys and belts here in the UK for a while, i was impressed buy how smooth they made the drivetrain and the extra range of gearing is perfect for modified.

I have been running the tensioner in the rear for the last couple of months, i was finding that even with the belt set tight i was getting belt skip, with the tensioner there the belt can be set overall looser and still not skip, i love the idea of the bigger pullies, i have been looking at the 3 racing ones, but have been out of stock every time i tried to order.

Not to do with the cyclone sorry...


Anyone know what brand of corrally style conectors are not super tight and stiff to plug in and out.

and where you can get them from...

as i got some that are supposed to be "corrally style"
and they are so tight i have to use pliers & i almost pulled the wires out of my speedie.

I use the smaller 3.5mm Euro Plugs.. available overseas or at Integy..

It has a lot to do with using the same brand male and female plug. I have only ever had issues when trying to combine 2 different brands.

The LRP Silver ones are quite nice.

Finally a heatsink/fan worthy to put on a Cyclone..
where the fins go with the airflow.. similar to LRP's brushless/brush motor heatsink.. made by Eagle Racing SP Motor Radial Pro. SP-2685-075 purple..
other colors are available.
The Fan is alot better on this one compared to the others from 3Racing.
only neg about it is that it's not so easy to clip on or off the motor..I found that the easiest way is to remove the motor and sliding it on. with brushless you don't really need to remove it anyways...

got mine from RainbowTen.. Champs has it as well...

I dont know if its been mentioned on this thread, way to long for me to read now, but when I originally bought a Cyclone S, 2 chassis broke at the rear axel, the second only 5 mins on track after a rebuild. I and the store owner I buy my kit from thinks there is a factory issue with the plastic chassis mold, im not the only one who has had this problem.
But at the end of the day, its a Cyclone S no more, all rebuilt with 3 Racing carbon fiber and aluminium parts. Way sexier now

Sime were you by some chance running an aluminium pivot block on the rear with the plastic chassis?

And if so did you put shims under the pivot block?

mangoman why do you ask? does it have something to do with the chassis breaking?
