in the mean time, i've found that the plastic cyclone-s deck with some dremel work and other mods adds more flex when running rubber tire

I'll be doing some testing with different diff's next club race. I find the best way to see hwo the car reacts is to try each diff for every race then check lap times.
So my first qual, i will try the front ball diff and then on the next i will swap in the spool. We'll see!

I think it may take more then one qualifiers to pick up on the different throttle timings in the corners so don't give up on the spool to fast. Try more lightly on power maneuvers then you normally would do, You should get some Wow!! corners right away.

would you try the 1.4mm or 1.6mm sway bar up front first?

Try 1.4mm up front first, 1.2mm rear.

Has anyone tried the tub chassis from the S on the Cyclone? I am just curious as to if anyone has how it performed. I have the BMI chassis the stock chassis and the plastic chassis already.

I had a cyclone S but i snapped the back off on only about the third meet, and i was working out all the issues with the S as it was still new then and there are a number of things you have to be careful of. The tub chassis is a lot heavier.
I reckon mine snapped cause i had aluminium pivot blocks on the car. The RF FR blocks were still plastic. But the aluminium pivot block was a very tight fit. Further to this the plastic pivot blocks of the S are raised so you need to shim the aluminium pivot blocks accordingly to match the plastic RF FR blocks.
