Hi guys, i was just wondering if all the parts from the cyclone fit on the cyclone S? Also can you get aluminium or steel centre shaft pulleys? Instead of the plastic ones.

Thanks

All cyclone parts are interchangable with the cyclone S. So yes you can get the alloy center shaft pullies.

Thanks for that mate. Also what is the internal ratio of the S? What spur and pinion should i use to get around 5.3?

Cheers

Internal Ratio is 2.4375, not sure what you mean by 5.3 but this place has some cool ways to work various things out. Hope this helps.

This is Cyclone S! in coming event, a good upgrade would be to get parts of the pro 5/6cell packs battery, high end-motor and some alumum parts for my sweet Cyclone 'S' (MOD SPEC).

It looks good. The optional springs and sway bars will help.

MD, thank you! I JUST wondering if universal part of any ae, serpert, corally, losi's SWAY BARS can fit on Cyclone S? Because HPI PRO4's sway bars wont fit on Cyclone s.



See the aluminium purple shocks and nuts from HPI PRO4 that I put parts on cyclone s.

Some of the parts are from the Pro 4. The "C" hubs and steering knuckles are pro 4 parts among others. I don't know if Losi sway bars will fit, but I doubt it. Sway bars are not too expensive. I don't know if you're considering running any of the HPI/HB Challenge Series. If you are they have a box stock and rtr class for the Cyclone "S" and Sprint 2. You may want to take a look at all the classes. If you run the box stock class, options are not allowed except for tires and bodies.

I bought the small cut-off wheels from walmart, about 15 bucks.


I removed rear bumper and cut tail off. It prevent from break or crack if my rc car's rear bumper hit on curb/ wall so hard or bump to hit car's rear bumper on pavement/ street so hardly.

I hope this solve issues.

MD, In events, I would throw me into stock class racer. I actually live in Nor*Cal ( Sacramento ). I found the track at roseville, Ca nearly Sacramento about 13 miles from my home.

I will look the sway bars online for my cyclone 'S'. but I notice in USA, the Cyclone hop up parts is hard find right now. I hope to find the sway bars and hop ups somewhere in USA.

Farbes - One way I've used to find parts is to simply Google the part number. You usually have to use the manufacturer prefix like HPI or HB before the number. Tower carries some Hot Bodies and HPI hop ups, also Stormer hobbies. I have the sway bars, but I don't remember if I got them from Tower or Stormer or some place else. That's what happens when you're a senior citizen. One of the easiest ways is to call your local hobby shop and see if they can order it. Just give them the part number. Sway bars are not too expensive. Good luck. I like that Dremel attachment. When I bought my Cyclone "S" used, the bumper had been broken off and a corner of the chassis with it.

Anyone uses this on carpet with rubber tires? How does it perform? Wanted to get one for the HPI challenge and to run on asphalt over the summer. Thought I might use it the rest of the carpet season if it does OK.

Guys,

Have anyone tried to use a Tamiya front one-way on Cyclone S? Do they actually fit as they just seem to be almost the same?

Thanks!

or8ital - I've some practices with Tale-Offs on carpet that I would consider to be medium to high traction and it hooks up well.

If you are trying to skimp dollars and not buy a genuine oneway pole_position note do not even try to run the one way unless you upgrade the centre pulley.
The plastic pulleys will strip on the first meet (unless you are running something really soft like a silvercan 540 motor).
Upgrading the pulley you will also need to change over the centre shaft.
