Care to post your setup? There's not very many setups available for the Cyclone/Exotek combination...

Hi Korey,
When you say "unstable in the middle of the corner" what exactly was happening to the car ??
Thanks
It would get loose in the middle of the corner unexpectedly, and inconsistently. Not exactly very fun to drive

Hi Korey,

I'm also interested in your driving style around tight-ish corners, at the end of a straighter high speed section of track.

For example:
End Of Straight: Throw the car into corner (no braking), brake a bit, or what??
Corner itself: Coast around, apply constant power, or what??

Thanks in advance

HPI 6820 have worked fine for me. I've even used standard AE O-Rings in a pinch and they worked fine.

MUCH MORE MK-P30 Perfect Silicone O-Ring 30 Degree
TRF 42137 Competition O-Rrings
Yokomo RS-01 Low-Friction O-Rings
and many more....

Anyone know who in the states may have steel spool outdrives in stock? I may have to run a oneway or JB weld a regular diff if I'd like to run my car again

Just working in the car. I noticed the front belt slapping about while under power when I turn the steering one way or the other. This is while on the bench. Can't say I've noticed it before. Any idea why?
