Hi,
I bought myself a Hara edition last week. The car is assembled and it's awesome!! I race stock class here in Holland, which means 19t Element with 5 cells. I have a race in about 2 weeks and I want to run a gearratio of 3.95. So I check gearchart.com and found out I need a 81 spur and a 50 pinion. I'm runnen 64dp. The problem now is that the pinion and spur JUST won't get to gether...
Does anybody of you Cyclone specialists have any idea, or does anybody knows what's the smallest combo on the cyclone.>>
Thanx in advance!!
Cheers,
Roger

by using the 18T pulley instead of the stock 16T.. it will bring the transmission ratio to 2.1666:1
to get to the 3.95fdr w/the new pulleys... you can go with a:
90/50 = 3.90fdr
91/50 = 3.94fdr
93/51 = 3.95fdr
and so on..

with the 17T the transmission ratio changes to 2.2941 : 1
I will try the 18T with a smaller 36T pulley from my old Pro3 and will have a 2.0:1 ratio.
If HB does release a 18T pulley..hope they have new belts to go with them.

yes! 18T way too tight! the 17T is a little tight even with the main pulley at it's loosest position.. I think eventually with the 17t.. the belts should start to loosen up after several runs..

you may find yokomo bd belts may fit as they wrap around a 20t centre pully and 40t diff pully i havent tried this but it would sound about right also a had cyclone belts on my 415 with an 18t center pully and 36t diff pullys that was spot on then i saw the light and bought the rest of the car

Front arm sweep
Wondering what other Cyclone owners think about front arm sweep. Overall, it's felt to me like the 2.5 degree block the kit comes with provides a lot of steering, almost to the point of destabilizing the car. I usually seem to end up running with 1 or 0 degrees (either with the spool or one way). Of course, I've seen others run successfully with the 2.5 degree block. Thoughts? Thanks.
