- Spin the layshaft/spur assembly to check for wobbles (get the belts and pinion out of the way first)
- If it spins true, give all 4 screws about a 1/16 of a turn to snug it up and you're good to go. Otherwise, if it wobbles, only tighten the high spot a little to bring it in-line with the rest of the gear and spin again... repeating until it runs true. If you find you have to tighten down one side a lot, loosen off the opposite side a little.
Hope that helps.

If you need more turning angle then CVD you have much bigger problems.
In a single joint there is acceleration as it turns, with two joints much of this cancels so the rotational speed is more constant. That speed change in the joint is what causes chatter in a CVD.

Anybody have any issues with the 18T center pulley ? My son recently installed this into his Cyclone S and it seems as if the set screw came out and the threads in the center pulley are now stripped and now I have to find a new center pulley 
Not easy to find, finally found one at Stormer Hobbies 
Any way to re-use the previous one ? Thx.

That is what I was going to suggest.

Thanks guys, I wasn't sure if something like that existed, but I will look around the hobby stores and see what I find.
Billy, I have kept up with your season on the Banzai site, keep up the good work and thanks for the reply.

I have been hesitant to race my cyclone as i am still having a hard time finding spares. I upgraded my "s" drivetrain with a spool, prodiff, and MIP unis up front. Shocks as well but that as just more for bling and ease of use. Anyway can anybody tell me why everyone is so low on parts? I could probably find everything i need but i would have to order from 5 different sites. Frustrating to say the least
