Also will a oneway diff or spool not be any good?
Cheers in advance

cheers with quick reply,
The rear diff is not the same as the front if you wish to use a front ball diff is it...?
A oneway might work but my track is very fast and am likely to need brakes at some point... Do you think a oneways speed advantages around most corners warrents not using brakes/a front balldiff?

Mirage import the ball diff sets for the Cyclone so any UK model shop who deals with them can get hold of them. They're reasonably priced too at £24.99.

I found an excellent alternative and have broken none since.
UNITED TITANIUM sells very high grade 6-4 titanium screws. They are a bit pricey at $10 a piece and a minimum order of $100, but a small price to pay to finish your race and if you have friends that also need them.
The screws I bought are 2-56 x 1 inch socket cap 6-4 Titanium
(equivelent to Grade 5 Steel in strength)
Contact Info:
www.unitedtitanium.com
3450 Old Airport Road - Wooster, Ohio 44691 - USA

I spoke with Ed and told him that I'm sure others would be calling

Tech Regular
17lbs. i had the white springs.. i dont know whats wrong but it influences the ride height. i havent try another spring yet.. the shock lenght is 64.5mm .. but probably putting the electronics on will decrease the initial ride height..hopefully
