I am testing different combinations of inserts and wheels with Sorex tires in my Cyclone TC, and I found that the inserts and wheels combinations can make quite dramatic differences. Can someone share your experience with Sorex tires?

It just a common chatter problem on running spool. Put a bit more heavy grease on the out drive and reduce the dual rate on your radio, try again on the track ( not holding it by hand or something ), it should be fine, it's happened on most other brands.

thanks for the reply's, i do have a tensioner, ill put it on and give it a go.

btw, my friends car does run a tentioner and mine didnt, he had alot less vibration then me, tentioner makes sence, its the only real difference between out cars.

Hi guys,

Just received the Cyclone S with a lot of upgrades that i bought on ebay. Im very happy because all the seller published was true, the car its NEW and UNUSED. All the upgrades mentiones were inn, and the stock parts were on a separate bag.

The thing is that comes with center pulley 18T, how thats affect the pinion and spur selection ?

I ordered a couple of pinions and spur from Kawada based on gearchart.com, pinions 32, 34 and 36 and spurs 66, 68 and 70

I assume the tranny ratio from gearchart.com its considering stock 16T central pulley ... so i dont know if the pinions and spurs i bought will work good or not with the 18T pulley.

This car will be raced on 13.5 brushless (novak) and 6 NiMH batts (maxamps 4.700mah)

thanks,

Go to gearchart.com again but after you select the Cyclone just change the drive ratio to 2.1667 instead of the 2.4375 and you will have a chart for the 18t pulleys.

Arrrrghhh i just did it thanks ... i think the pinions and spurs i bought will not work for me damn !!!

With 70 spur and 32 pinion FDR = 4.75 i think its a good start, because all other combinations give me under 4.5 of FDR ...

Which would be the ideal FDR for 13.5 nimh brushless racing ?

thanks,

Guys, who else online oversea or in US have a lot of Cyclone part?

I have been using RCMARKET a few times, I have no problem with the place. Only problem I have was their web site are just too slow. So far I am trying to complete my order since Friday but unable to do so.

From Friday afternoon, Saturday night and now Sunday morning I was only able to put 7 items in my shopping cart LOL.

Who have problem browsing RCMARKET.COM.HK?

It can't be just me. I have a hard time browsing it from home and work.

I think their hosting company suck.

Now back to the original question, who got lot of cyclone parts online. Cost a bit more than RCMARKET is ok as long as I don't have to wait 20 min to load up one stinking page then found out that I item I just clicked is SOLD OUT

I am willing to stick with RCMARKET but guy in US what time you normally order stuff from them? Maybe their hosting company is not overload.

you can also try emailing champ r/c in Japan. Pretty much everything in stock or they order it and have it in 1 day. Their prices are untouchable, you pay in yen using paypal. Send an email with the part numbers you need.

Yeah, I was trying to complete the order but at the end I gave up and canceled the order roughly $113. Oh, well their lost. Took total of 3 hrs to put 9 items in to my cart..... That have got to be a record.

I was trying to get some parts for my WCE Cyclone. I have another brand new WCE kit that I was saving it for rainy day didn't want to open it up... oh well here come the exacto knife


I never order anything from the RC champ before, never like their ordering system. I like to see it, click it, add it to the cart. I bought stuffs that way and the easier they make it for me the easier my money fly out of my pocket sometime I bought stuff I was never going to need it but I even don't know why in the hell I bought it. Perhaps they made it easy for me to click

i think its much easier to email them the part numbers you want and then they actually tell you the part is in stock, they give you the price, you pay, they ship. Simple, fast effective.

Yeah, I guess it would work that way too.

Often I was just look around and buy things I don't need, just because I saw it. That is just the way I am. When I walk in to Best Buy just because I have nothing to do then I would walk out with some stuff I don't know what I need them for LOL just because it was there for me to see.

I browse online, then ummm that shim look cool...click! ummmm, oh - I got to have that wheel nut, I like the colour...click! ummmm heard good thing about that motor on RCtech ..... click!

you see what I mean.

I will check out A main hobbies though.
