Car was planted. No sliding. You can find pics of the track at www.amainhobbies.com click on the track portion of the website. The pics on there are not of the current layout though.
Thanks

So i might try the setup at the track on sunday but ive been told that less shims under the pivot blocks will produce more grip , is it true , because if it is the track must have been really really really high grip , and also what is the effect of more shims under the pivot blocks ?
Thanks
Thanks

just recently bought the bottom of the range cyclone (u no the full plastic pre built kit) just as a thrasher for when im not at the track and for some reason cant get any gear mesh wat so ever
the motor is a 540 the spur is that which came with the car and i first tried a 33 tooth pinion.... no mesh now just bought a bigger pinion....NO MESH and no matter how i position twist and turn the motor im still mm's away
ive also dremeled the housing to move the motor a lil closer and still NO MESH!!!!!!
can anyone please help

Hi there
the internal ratio of the cyclone S is 2.44 if I aint mistaken.... that should help you reach anywhere between more or less 5.0 (yes I've done it) to 10-ish+ fdr if you use the proper spur/pinion combo. For my 10.5-powered hara Ed (same architecture as your S) I run 6.8 fdr, which if I remember well is obtained thru a 28 pinion and a 78 spur (yes I'm an old fart who runs 48DP because I absolutely HATE adjusting mesh with 64DP)... and there is a lot of space to mesh tighter or disconnect the pinion from the spur.
Check your spur's size. maybe you got like an 85 or something as a mistake... But I'm more enclined to think you use the wrong holes in the motor can. You should use diametrally opposed holes (there are two sets of them). This is likely the source of your problem (on top of using a relatively small pinion).
