Also taken from my pro4 bag of tricks... drilled out the ball ups to access the hex balls. so you do not have to pop off the cups everytime you want to make adjustments... lessens the chance of the ball cups stretching and developing slop.
Not much room for electronics... still don't know where to place the capacitor...and I don't look to cover up the Twister 2.1
hope to have the car running by this weekend...

if there was a way to rotate the servo 90deg like the BD then there would be plenty of space... my other option is to chop off the right servo mount and just use servo tape to secure along with the 1 left servo mount. I may try this this weekend...since I have a replacement servo case coming next week.

Does anyone use an MRT VX speed controller in their Cyclone? After seeing Zombies pictures I'm starting to think that it'll be hard to fit it in :S

Yesterday evening I was reading at the German forum the HPI/HB teamdrivers got their Cyclones now. So just before the CS Open race what is held this weekend and is the beginning of the indoor season.
Cars are built ready yesterday evening so they have to start into this race with a brandnew car without any practice. They have some pretty good drivers but without any experience before it will be interesting what they can do. I will be going to the track on sunday and watch them.

But the new tiny MX Pro will fit more nicely on the Cyclone.

So overall, what is your impression of the Cyclone? Do you guys think it's worth the cash? And zombies, your car has an HPI pivot block, and ball cups, and stuff. Are the two companies finally sister companies? I know there was a huge controversy and debate some time ago, and I'm not sure if they are related (I'm thinking they are). But other than that, those are some wicked looking rides. 
How does she drive?
