Does anyone make aluminium center pullys for the S? I just want direct replacements.

You can upgrade to the regular Cyclone pulleys but you have to upgrade the layshaft as well. It will also require you to upgrade the spur gear holder also.

I know that. To upgrade is around $45. I would think a set of direct pullys from maybe 3R would be around $10 each.

Anyone?

3R pullys have both a grub screw fixing for the upgraded layshaft, and a pin fixing for the stock layshaft.

did anyone find the springs that came with the kit were too short? I went and purchased HPI springs that were a little longer and they fit perfectly with the droop set to 6mm all the way around and the shocks set to outer hole (4 front) (5 rear) on all shock towers.

I'm looking for after market aluminium diff cups, I checked out rcmart and they didnt have them.

Cheers
Adrian

Do you mean these 3racing aluminium diffs?

I havent tried them but from experience the 3racing aluminium is quite soft.

I want to get a set of springs with different hardness' so I can have a play with my setup, but I'm not sure what to get. Should I buy genuine Hot Bodies ones by getting each set individually (part no 66961, 66962 ect)? Or is there another brand where I can but a pack which includes 3 or 4 sets with different hardness of springs which will fit my car?

The associated springs have a slightly smaller internal diameter. I found on the Pro 4 that they would bind on the bottom at the spring retainers.

Dont know if this effects them or not or if this is a problem with the Cyclone S, i only got them cause i was looking to try extra hard springs above the loadings that the HPI ones were.

hi guys

what should i purchase for the car to give it more grunt, apart from a faster motor and bigger batteries.

I bought the 3racing stabilizers as well, just need to know the length of the tie rods please. I've got them at about 9mm.

Cheers
Adrian

You dont really need anything except to replace the C hubs with proper Carbon Graphite ones like on the real cyclone or pro 4. It will be pretty competitive.

If you are serious about blinging it out a little i would probably go for universals instead of dogbones. Maybe upgrade the decks to Carbon Fibre, which will lighten the car a lot and then think about playing with a one-way or spool (although spool will probably be slower in stock). If you go with a one way though you need to upgrade a few parts like you should get v2 universals and also upgrade the centre pulley system to the full cyclone level.
