Does the Cyclone has the same thin wheel hexes as the pro 4? and uses washers to adjust track width?

Has anyone else experienced any problems with the upper bulkhead breaking? I was very suprised to see the pictures, were the parts faulty or something or should we expect this to be a part that breaks?

Anyway, the Cyclone comes out 3rd October in the UK so not long to go now.

Thumbs up no problem

The bulkhead thing has already happened and is being sorted by HPI Europe.
All of the European kits will be fine for the release date.

Hot Bodies are planning to release a spool for the Cyclone in the near future (it's listed on Mirage's site)

Good to hear that the UK won't have any problems with the incorrect bulkheads
