The standard carpet setup here works well:

If the rear end is a little twitchy, removing the rear roll bar settles it down nicely.

any easy ways to modify the cyclone to use a battery strap or velcro straps?

Yes... I dont, but my buddy swapped from a cyclone S, to a normal cyclone, and he just drilled, and countersunk 2 holes to screw the posts down, and it works pretty good

he ran a spool on carpet? I heard never to do that? Am i wrong? Also what would happen if I switched from the 2.5 degree front pivot block to a 0 degree in the front for carpet & rubber.

When it comes to rubber on carpet, a spool works very well. Here in the UK, most people running in the modified/19 class use a spool.

OK ! Great back to set ups.
My Cyclone hooks coming out of corners on power,,,, Going in and middle corner is good, Did it with a Diff and now with a spool and a one way. I am now running.
0* front toe pivot block and have used 1* and 1.5* never more then 1.5* in front.
3* rear toe pivot block.
2mm under ball studs in front, 1.5mm back.
1.5mm under pivot blocks front and back.
4 degree caster.
long front and back links, tried short and middle, still hooked coming out.
1.4 sway bar front none in back but tried 1.2 in back and it was worse.
22lbs front 19lbs back springs.
10.5 motor.
Small technical track with 180* and 90* corners.
Rubber tires and carpet.
BMI 3mm chassis, stock upper chassis.
Man if I could get it to stop hooking coming out I would be one happy guy. Any help would be much appreciated.

anyway to do it without drilling?

what happens when you switch from 0, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 degree blocks in the front?

apparently the higher the number of the front toe block the more aggresive steering you will get, providing you re-adjust the camber and ride height and toe back to where they where before you changed the block, as changing the block will effect all these things......

by aggresive(sp?) do you mean more steering?

dang! whats the magical way to get tape to work without having the batteries fall out all the time?

Im already trying to figure out a work around...

does tape thats part velcro exist? Would rock if it could be regular strong fiber-type tape as it goes underneath the chassis then over the top of the batteries it can be velcro style stuff...hmmm....

i just got the perfect idea for a battery strap. But uh...now that i think about it, it wouldnt work without help. The holes for the tape to pass through...well i figured id get some really strong reinforced tape or zip ties or something and modify a battery strap from a different car to loop through the bar and then tighten the tape/velcro/whaterver down to pull and tighten down the battery strap over the batteries. After i thought about it though, id require a stopper id have to loop through then pass the tape (or whatever materieal i use) through the slot for the tape, the stopper would have to be really long and flat or tapered so as to not add any thickness or portrude from the bottom of the chassis. Thats the problem lol. Seemed like a good idea to me at first but that last bit made me sad. I wouldnt even know how to make/find a loop holder/stopper like that. I was hoping there would be two holes so i can loop through the slots instead...boooo....

then again i need to get a good look at a cyclone to really know what im doing lol.
