ok guys...a little advice here pls. need more corner speed from my cyclone foam on carpet - oem chassis. running standard carpet setup ie: 50w 40w 30lb 25lb, dpo/dp ect. don't want to sacrifice the consistency of the car. so more corner speed = higher roll? front arm toe out? more ackerman? or do i really need a stiffer chassis. what have you all done??

I run mine on carpet but with rubber, and to get more corner speed i changed the front toe block from 2.5deg to 1.5deg. I also changed the spacer height on the front bulkhead from 2.0mm to 4.0mm (you will need longer ballstuds for this). Also maybe try 60wt oil all round.

I use the Xray ones - they are round and screw to the chassis. I also like the HPI(long and flat) ones as well. I have used the nexus ones before and you need to follow their advice and remove the adhesive it comes with and then shoe goo them on the pack or else they won't stay.

Do you have a link to the Xray ones? I saw a racer using those, they look nice

And the hpi ones are the ones I was talking about, Do you put them in the center of the chassis? Like under the belts?

And yeah, thats what everyone has said, but thats no biggie

THATS A TINY BUMPER!!!!

Anyway, has anyone tried the 3racing upperdeck?

My kit came with one but i dont have the time to put it on if it isnt any better, which sucks cus it looks neat.

there are a couple of x-ray ones. ..look here

they also made a flat set kind of like the hpi ones, I think they were for the T1 - I want to trysome of those on the bottom of the battery for extra weight but I think I would have to trim them down.

The Hpi ones go under the belt - right on the center lined of the chasis.

Hello,

I've been running the Cyclone for a while now on carpet. Here's what I ran this weekend in Omaha:

No front toe out in the blocks
2.0 mm front sway bar
25lb spring, Dk. blue Xray
600 wt. oil, 50 wt. equiv.
3.75mm spacer under camber link
3rd hole in on shock tower
inner hole on arm
4' caster
stock ackerman
1' toe out in tie rods
1mm spacers under blocks
longest camber link location on bulkhead
4mm ride height
2' camber
1mm droop over ride height

2.5' rear toe in the blocks
no sway bar
17.5 spring, White Xray
500 wt. oil, 40-45 wt. equiv.
1.5mm spacer under camber link
2nd hole in on shock tower
inner hole on arm
1mm spacer under blocks
longest camber link location on bulkhead
4.5mm ride height
2.5-3' camber
Arms all the way back
.75 spacer behind rear hub
2mm droop over ride height

Magenta tires F/R
3/4 sauce front, full rear
Protoform DNA1 body

This is all with a box stock chassis. On anything except the highest traction this will work pretty good.

Good luck!

Dinky Speed produce cf look weights. I got some from Rainbow Ten a while back, they're also sold on RC Market.
Excellent meeting yesterday btw, thanks! :)
