At the Paved nats, there were only 3 total cyclones running.. 1 driver was in the A- the first 2 rounds, sitting i think 8th.. but with qual points system, he got bumped..... and was "BQ"meaning 11th in results. I was off the pace, i couldnt get comfortable with the car during qualifying, but during all practices, the car was just as fast as the 6th place guy, my buddy. He even made comments regarding how my car was good...... I guess, my nerves got to me during qualifiying........
Sorry, i couldnt get the job done... i did finish 15th overall.

Don't feel bad, a lot of things could have happened during major races like this. You did well 
I wonder why HB factory team guys were not there?

Nope, I missed the boat by 2 qual points 
Was 6th first two rounds, 9th in the 3rd and got bumped to BQ after the 4th
In the main, I was using SPX launch control and snapped the right front CVD after the tone I had to limp my way for 6 min and finished right behind RCFREAK. Not too bad for a 3 wheel drive Cyclone

Ran the DCJ's last night on a tight carpet track. Car was smoother through the corners. It seemed to give more front end grip compared to the MIP CVD's. Car rotated more through the corners. I actually took a small amount of D/R out the help me not overdrive the car.
What orings are most of you running in your shocks? Just wondering if there were any successful alteratives to the stock HPI #6820 oring because I currently can't seem to locate any anywhere.
Thanks

Is the Cyclone TC a good carpet racer? I'm planning on buying a touring car for the winter.

Gidday Guys
Got a friend just bought a LRP X12 3.5 matched up to a LRP Sphere TC spec , he is running it in a cyclone S chassis , he is wanting to know what would be a good starting point with gearing ......
Thank you
Cheers Paul.....

Pics of the HB Subaru Body and J concepts b4 body I had painted.

Korey,
What surface do you run?
I am thinking of getting the Subaru for carpet.
Paint work is Killer!

I just kind of have a soft spot for Subarus too... plus the hole dimples line up with the cyclone!!!! Easy mounting for sure.

Thanks for the info on cutting the decks a few pages back. wondering if it's worth cutting the Hara's deck too to help more flex. The FRP rear deck I cut a while ago already

The Subaru is great on just about any surface. It's a very nice neutral body. It doesn't have that super aggressive feel like the LTC, but when the grip is decent it really shines because it allows the car to carry very good corner speed.
