if you google "HPI 75188" you'll be able to find more.

regarding the grease question, you can refer to pg 18 of the cyclone user manual on the grease to use, but that's just on greasing the small metal "tube" that the grub screw goes into (see pg 18 for the illustration). the manual does not show you to put any grease into the cups of the wheel axles; i just chose to use tamiya aw grease as i've used it before and i think it works very well in these type of applications.

hmmmmm... well i will have to let him know that its out there... anyone else here find them in lhs's?

Is there an easy way to change the internal ratio of the Cyclone and what is the effect of doing that. I cant get the rollout I need on smaller tires with the spur(88T)/pinion(up to 48T) that I have. Trying to get a 38mm+ rollout.

54mm, gets me down to a 37.9 rollout. These 13.5 with sintered rotors you really need to gear up. Ran a 41 rollout last weekend.

Robinson does but no one carries it. Im not sure the pinion would reach a spur gear that small.

Hi Robbie,
Here is the petit rc setup page for the cyclone. There is the andy moore setup from 2006 WC, some form Hara too.
Hope that can help!

Yea someone in here has mentioned that before as well, but what they did was they used the xray C hub as well so you dont have to file the hubs inorder for them to fit in the cyclone C hubs.

i personally havent tried it myself but am looking to try it out as well.

I think when Xray made the T2 they used the Cyclone/Pro4 to model after. The knuckles and castor blocks are near identical to the.

The T2 knuckles work well for me, and I dont end up with a bunch of spare rear hubs.
