Hot Bodies Cyclone
I am also working on upgrading a "S" and had my first day on the track yesterday. All in all not to bad. Defintely will be loosing the plastic shock bodies. They made ride height changes a pain. I am running RCGT so finding grip can be a bit challenging. I was having a hard time getting any droop in the rear so i need to look at my shock lengths. The car was still really pretty good for $125 kit with a few upgrades. (spool,CVD,motor mount) Just wanted to share my positve experience. Its nice to have those with a new car for a change. Also very durable, and trust me that was tested having not driven TC in a few years

Hi guys
I'm buying the 3racing chassis and shock towers for my cyclone S but the upper deck in carbon fiber is not available so I will have to use stock plastic
Anyone knows where to find the cyclone sport carbon fiber upper deck ? Or can I buy the carbon fiber upper del from 3racing for normal
Cyclone ?
Thanks

I may be upgrading my tub too- .A friend of mine had his chassis snap at the front rear hingepin holderIt got hit -but but-it was new and what a bummer-is this a common thing on the tub chassis?At like $20 for a new plastic one it may be worth it to buy a graphite one now.Please post how the graphite one will affect the handling- I know it will prob stiffin up the whole setup,but how much?THNX.

Ive seen a few snap there, i personally thought mine snapped because i put an aluminium pivot block on the back.

I thought they were breaking at the rear hingepin holder. I cut off everything behind it. It did look like a weak spot if you backed it into something hard enough.
try speedtechrc.com they might ship to you
I am running the kit silver springs from the "s" and to get the ride height i want in the back the collars are so high that when the car is on the stand the springs sit probably 15 mm below the collars. Basically when the car unweights there is nothing to push the arm down. Is this correct? I need to order some springs but dont really know where to start. I am running lipo and our weight minimum is only 1400 so i am thinking the silvers are way to stiff, is the blue the only thing softer?
Korey, do you have any experience with the Losi LCD conversion? I know it smoothes things out when using a spool but was wondering if you would loose/gain any steering by using it ?

Well... I haven't had any personal experience with them. I know that HB will be producing their own very soon. Maybe I can get Hiro to pop on here since he did a lot of the testing on the new ones that are comming out.

There are many factors, what ride height are you trying to achieve?

Well finally RCMARKET worked out for me. I can say the rcmarket customer service have worked very good this time.
Now, i ordered the chassis, towers and belt tensioner.
Only item i didnt got because out of stock its the upper deck on carbon fiber material for the Cyclone S, any way to get it online ?
thanks for your help guys !
