#1801
Finally done....and raced it today for 1st time.....got TQ and won at our local series race....I just follow Agno's set up (thanks bro) posted few pages back with only few changes on the droop and ride height....the car was dialed straight away....
Here's the pic of it...

There is a problem with the use of nuts with Oring (I've to tried) the thread of the shock is not sufficient to adjust the ride height... however the original work well and do not become loose

suspension-wise - they are the same as the TC, wish i have spares of...diffs appear to essentially be the same except for the longer outdrives..
but is there any huge improvement over the old cyclone?
and, this isn't a TCX question - but what's with the fans coming back on the TC chassis again?

Nice looking car. I like how you are color coordinated. Is that some kind of wrap on the speedo and servo?
S.A.W.
A quick fix is to 'scratch' inside the treads of the cylinder nut with a knife or any sharp tool. Just make 3-4 vertical cuts on the threads.
This will make the nut spin much less but it won't harm it.

For me I had my 1st run with it yesterday.. with a setup I am still working on... the car's fastest lap is 0.2 sec faster then my old Cyclone Exotek TC and thats with tires that were almost dead... I was pretty happy with this as the car felt so different to my old car then I saw the lap times were better.. really does feel like the car turns so much better. Way more balanced.
One bad thing about the car.. man are the pinions and spurs a pain to change when compared to the TC.. but thats ok..

however, it seems everyone is starting to get their inventory of HB parts back in stock also, unless your track has a large HB following, you'll always have issues getting parts - same thing if you're a tamiya guy in xray land

Hi,
For adjusting roll, when should I use spacers under the blocks versus tuning with roll bars?
Thanks in advance.

I need a little help, I don't run tc alot and I haven't run the 13.5 in the TCX yet but I am going to be running 13.5 TC next weekend on a 40 x 70 track , usually very tight layout, I am wondering what gearing I should start with, I am running a 115T spur with an LRP 13.5. Thanks.

I converted my driveline to 40tooth like top/yoke, and use spec r, you need 3mm longer belt front and rear for it to work.

The Spec-R gear diff for TCX will be end of this month ready! So no need to modify other gear diffs.
