Hi All

I am considering playing with 5 cell BL mod, currently my car weighs in at 1540grams for 6 cell BL mod, just over the legal weight limit, with 15 grams added to balance L to R. With PT

Electronics are 9550 servo, LRPTC SPec SP motor and FAAST receiver, so little could be gained from electronics alone.

I am having a hard time coming to grips with the Euro weight limit of 1350 grams for 5 cells Mod (I know the EFRA guys messed up the limits) but what is the lightest people have been able to achieve with their Cyclones?

Dropping a cell would bring my car back to 1450grams (excluding any ballast), but this is still a whopping 100 grams over the limit.

Guys, Im having trouble finding an inexpensive WCE cyclone! Is the brushless motor mount neccesary to mount the brushless motors?

if you're running stock or 19T the stock motor mounts are fine...for low turn BL 3.5/4.5 the new motor mount allow you to run larger spurs...

that is sooooo clean! how did you shorten the servo wires, ESC wires, ESC switch wires, and the sensor harness for the motor?

with the stock 100Tspur run a 44T to get to 5.5 or a 48T for 5.08

I'm waiting on belts to arrive and I can run the 3Racing 17/18T pulleys..
with the 17T pulley transission ratio changes to 2.2941 : 1 and
I run a 106/48 5.07fdr.

I now have the 3Racing pulleys installed. I've got the 17t on it. The belts are pretty tight (they are new). Is it a problem running with the tight belts? I think I have the main pulley-holders on the loosest position, but I'm not sure. Can anybody of you tell me what is the loosest position? Front and rear? Which direction does the mark points to?

Anybody else who has got the 17t 3Racing pulleys installed?
