The belt tension should not change the traction, unless the belt is slipping and you don't want that.

Atsushi was using wider FR block at a race where I met him 3 months ago. This is probably the same thing. This is like what Tamiya does with the narrower-wider blocks. He used I think a 0.5 or 1 degree FR block.

That stuff . Cut it to length, and secure the ends with shrink wrap. I used it a lot on R/C helicopters, and on my sensor wires for brushless motors.

Silly question:

Does anyone know if Tamiya bodies for say... the TT-01 series would fit on the Cyclone S chassis? It looks as though the posts won't line up properly with the pre-drilled holes but that's not a huge deal. Has anyone tried this? I'd like to put a Lancia Delta or something on my Cyclone S.

Also, how much chance do I have of fitting this battery in the chassis: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=7651 I'm guessing slim to none.

Thanks.

as long as its 190mm and you can drill new body post holes it will fit no problem

that pack will also fit but i suggest buying something with a hardcase

I don't see how that will fit being 158mm long. I don't have my "S" anymore but if I remember correctly I think 140mm is about the max for length. Depending on what you are going to use your car for a hard case lipo probably be the best. I've used a max amps lipo (no case) for quite some time in TC with no real issues... but some places won't allow you to race without a hard case or ROAR legal lipos (if racing is your thing).
