Thanks for the quick reply Stew.

Also, I've just sent you a pm about your Stonehaven (MuchMore UK GP) set up. Need some advice! Hope you can help.

Cheers,
Jason

Anyone that race foam on carpet tried using the sway bars with the cyclone?
I notice that with most of the setup they don't include the use of the sway bars with carpet, but most of the Losi racers use the sway bars is it because the cars are different or just a matter of preference? thank you.

Hello everyone,

I was hoping someone could assist me with fixing a problem I am having with my Cyclone WCE. This question may have been posted on this board but to save time here goes. My rear diff seems to be tightening up on its own so is there a way or a part to prevent this from happening? I don't want to give up on this car because I see a lot of potential in the car. Thanks in advance.

They do that when the diff is broken in, set it with some slip when you build it then put it in the car and either run it or run the motor and hold one wheel at a time to seat everything in. It will get to a point when it will stop tightening up.

Thanks, I have to take apart the rear end this weekend and clean the bearings, diff, etc. so I will see if that works. I am pretty sure that is what is happening or at least I hope it is because of how the car handles is so strange I think.

If the rear diff is too tight will the rear of the car swing out when you first accelerate out of a corner while turning? I can't seem to get on the throttle if my wheels are turned even 1% or the car fishtails so bad I go into the wall. I race rubber tire, asphalt, 19T, Brushless if this information helps.
