Hiro might have a cooler way of doing it though. Now I pretty much always use the steel ones though. I've been running more modified, so the pom outdrives can break a little easier.

I have a very lame question. I have only been running for hot bodies for a few months now so I only have experance with the TC. I have a few of my local guys that have the Moore edition. I just want to know what the differances are and what effect they will have it both cars have the same set-up.

CYCLONE is my First choice EP car !
This may sound a little odd... but I usually take my side cutters and place the flat side against the bearing, and just very carefully use them to pull off the aluminum sleeve that's on the outside. I basically just close them till the "blade" is just under the aluminum sleeve then carefully rock it back. The aluminum sleeve pretty much just pops off.

*** Hiro, or anyone, if you have a better solution, please share with us.
I think the POM outdrives give a little more turn in, especially at tight corners, while the steel ones turns better at larger, higher speed corners. Do you have similar experience, Korey?
Could somebody tell me what the difference between these parts with different #, in fact i don't see the difference:
#67706 - Front Bulk Head Set (Purple) Cyclone, Cyclone TC
vs
#61310 - FRONT BULKHEAD SET (PURPLE)
#61404 - SWAY BAR SET (CYCLONE S)
vs
#hb70735 - SWAY BAR (1.2MM)
#hb70736 - SWAY BAR (1.4MM)
#hb70737 - SWAY BAR (1.6MM)
Best regards

Thanks. I know the new car has new shock towers but I don't know if they are in the same positions. with the new arms what holes are in the same place? Ie.. new hole 2 = old hole 2?

Do the IP4200 trinity hardcase lipos fit in the Cyclone (i have a hara edition) just fine?
Weight: 8.29oz, or 235 grams
Length:5.43", or 134mm
Width: 1.84", or 47.8mm
Height: 0.92", or 23.3mm.

IP4200 fit right in, i use the IP 5000 which need some filing on the right bulkhead when youre not using the plastic tray.

Alright. I'm going to give a rundown of the shock positions since it seems to be a very commonly asked question.
From furthest out on the arm to the furthest inside
Front:
New #1
Old #1 = New #2
New #3
Old #2 = New #4
Rear:
Old #1 = New #1
New #2
Old #2 = New #3
New #4
Old #3 = New #5
The other changes on the TC just allow for more durable upper bulkheads. Because there is extra meat there, they had to raise the shock mounting point. So they made "lowered" shock towers to maintain the same overall geometry. So in the end, there isn't any change to the geometry of the suspension besides the new arms. Other changes include a slightly different chassis plate, some hardware differences, the 2 way diff, and the pro spec diff.

Slaving is more like it....
The HB was working pretty well this weekend. I'll have my set up posted on gearchart later on today when I get some time. Korey gave me the set up and I tweaked it to fit.
Thanks Korey for all your help.
Hiro- Race report will come shortly. I'm still tired but I have to go to work now

Does anyone know where I can get a chassis protector for the cyclone TC?
