Try giving them a ring, 01302367676, it should be in a nice big box with a load of miscellaneous HPI parts.

I checked on BMI website but did not see it....Can you give me the link to it? Thanks.

Also, is the steel drive shaft (PN 61398) compatible with the axle that comes with the original cyclone? Does this shaft compatible with all version of the spool? Thanks.

Just in case anyone wants to know. I just got some steel 61043 front dogbones and they are the exact same as the aluminum 70710's that come with the Cyclone kit from Stormers Hobbies. The steel 61044 rear dogbones look exactly like the front ones, kind of weird, different part numbers, same part?

I found out though that the diff pulley part numbers are now A495 for the rear and A496 for the 3 screw front one-way. I can't seem to find anyone that has the A496. does anyone else know?

I've searched every shop I can think of.

The Rear 61044 are different from the front 61043. The rear ones would not fit in the front one way when i tried them. So they are a little wider on the end.

Are you using the 70713 cups? I just measured the 61044 and the only difference that I found was the the ball end is .010 bigger and the shaft is .015 smaller than the 70710 aluminum dogbone. The 61043 dogbone measures identical to the 70710 aluminum one.

I also just got a reply back from HPI telling me that the A496 one-way pulley for the Cyclone has been discontinued. Imagine that? I just bought my Cyclone from Stormers 6 weeks ago, and it came with all the updated parts.

It should be a current model, they were on order when I first saw the sale they had, and I had to wait for the order to come in.

Yes I'm using the 70713 cups. The 61044 might only be .010 bigger but it is just enough to prevent it from fitting correctly in the cups.

I can see the difference in the fit from the front to the rear with the 70710's. The kit I bought had the 70710 dogbones for both front and rear. The 70710 bones fit rather sloppy in the rear diff. The 61044's should make for a nice fit in them!

That is the old part number. It was actually RS4 pulleys from years ago.

Here is the new part number 61051.
