Got my kit 2 days ago in NZ.
Built and ready to go, but the next race meeting for me is a few weeks away yet
and its raining, so Im going to have to wait a while to test it

Correction... It actually gave the same geometry at the TCX.
The upper bulkheads on the Cyclone TC are 2mm taller than the older cyclones to make room for some beefing up. The kit came with the lowered shock towers (2mm lower) to maintain the same geometry as the older cyclones. When that upper bulkhead is not used with a "lowered" cyclone TC shock tower, the shock positions are 2mm higher, just like the TCX.
It moves the piston further down int he shock body, putting more shock oil on top of the piston. This makes the shock pack up easier, and usually produces more grip
At paved nationals I actually used TC upper bulkheads, and WCE/AME shock towers front and rear. It just gave the car more traction all around.

Thanks for clearing that up. I think I understand ....lol

That would lower the towers even more if you are using the TC shock towers. I have heard of some people using this when the grip is extremely high, but it's something I wouldn't normally run. So in the end, it is not the same as the TCX or TC upper bulkhead and WCE tower combo.

Currently building my TCX!
Disappointed the diff doesn't come with a hole so you can tighten the diff up with out removing the driveshaft. Does the aluminium diff outdrives come with a hole?
Also did anyone else kit come with black coated springs?
Does anyone else run tamiya TRF pistons? I measured the tamiya and hb ones and there 0.04mm of a difference to the diameter, is this ok?

The screw is outside and easily accessible by inserting a small screwdriver or a small hex key through SX outdrive and then tuning the differential turning the DX wheel.
