Tried a spool in the front and didn't like the handling at all. Maybe the grip of the track wasnt high enough yet, or my setup is way off for a spool to work. Also, it's an aluminum spool and the steel drive pins on the front CVDs really chewed it up and left deep notches in the spool.

Default Setup / tweal plate

For those expressing interest on the Cyclone setup / tweak plate...here are a couple of pics of completed plates. I should have these ready for sale on Wednesday @ ppdbillet.com. This is a limited small run based on interest of PM's and our thread so dont be surprised if there gone in a couple of weeks.

So know id like to know how to improve cornering speed?
Hi Cyclone Speed, I think you should try the Hpi Pink Spring in the front and try to move the front arm toward to the rear. I mean spacing your front arm, 2.75mm (all the spacers) in FF. Also, use 2mm ackerman. Let me know how you feel if you tried.

Help needed

I have just installed the HB sway bar stopers to stop sideways movment of sway bars, now they rub/jam on the front pulley.


I have the 18t pulleys with the diff holders pointing straight down.


any idea's on how to fix this problem?

You need to use the standard plastic roll-bar guides, other manufacturers alloy ones sit the bar too close to the pulley to use the stoppers.

Yes it will fit but you have to take 1.5mm off the arched brace over the battery, so I guess you could say it will not fit without doing that.
