I do have one more gear diff that I m going to put up front. Looking at how it fits the rear, I dont think we need to use different length front belt.

the spec-r diff made for the TCX doesn't require a longer belt - matter of fact, the belt on the TCX is the largest HB makes ...Plus the diff is the same diameter as the stock/pro-diff pulleys

I fit my gear diff in my TC (not TCX - those diffs aren't in yet) and the belt was fine...when my 2nd set of gear diffs come in, those are going into the TCX - got a race where I need my TC, so that gets the gear diffs first

I ran a gear diff in the front of my TCX to try. Just remember you need some blades to fit the outdrives.
But to answer your question, the standard belt will work. You will just need to loosen up the tension a little.

actually, the better question - are they 46mm or 44mm since the tag says TC, not TCX

Well, since they are DCJ based, the shafts will not be close to the above lengths. Hence, I'm concerned about them fitting on the stock TCX spool.

Any one here using HB's DCJs? Does it eliminate chatter completely? Coz I took the plunge with Litemodz and it was a a mistake. They work in concept but not in the real world. The main downside is ease of assembly which leads to ease of maintenance, the design uses a spring loaded clip which snaps in place and it's designed to sit just a wee bit out of the groove and this is the flaw. See they had hoped that the clip would sit there as designed but after a run or two the clip snaps COMPLETELY into the grove making it impossible to remove. It's hard to describe but someone else that tried them before will know and hopefully can shine in with a better explanation. Also I'm aware that I'll need the One Way set thingo to make it work but I also have a question about it, you can make it a spool right? By sliding in the two cross pins and the O ring on top?

Thanks

And yes, you can make it a spool by sliding in two cross pin and the O-ring on top.

Yes and yes. You will be able to configure the One Way as a spool/solid.

finally a weekend without breaking one single thing.

I recommend to everyone to put the arms on the car.
The lower shock mounting holes line perfectly to shock position 2 & 4 on the current arms.


This arms fit front and rear on TCX ?

thanks

Yes. I have switched both of my Cyclones and my TCX over to these arms. I did not use all of the tuning options of the kit arms so these work just fine for me.
