I honestly haven't been able to try the older style upper bulkheads for any comparison. I plan to do some testing with them sometime soon though. I'll be sure to post my findings when I do .

I'm new to the Cyclone forum and I'm glad I finally made the switch. Anyone have some Cyclone TC setups for asphalt? All I can find online is for carpet racing. Thanks.

What do I need to convert a cyclone black to a TC? What are the differences? Or would it be better just to get the TC?

Whats the biggest spur gear I can put on the car? I tried a 114 but it hits the chasis and hangs down too low. I'm trying to gear a 3.5T brushless.

IMO it all depends on how hopped up your black is. I started out with the black and my car is hopped up as far as the parts I felt I needed. The only parts I feel that could benefit me is the new arms and sway bars. Again...these are all my opinions.

If you have the brushlss motor mount the 114 should just fit for gearing a 3.5 besides the spur gear sticking out the bottom you also have to worry about it hitting the "U" shapped plate in the rear.

You would need the new upper bulkheads, new F/R shock towers, chassis, top deck, rear FRP plate, pro spec diff, arms, and new swaybar mounts. The new upper bulkheads only come in purple so it wouldn't match or you could have them anodized black. Oh and the 2 way front diff.

108 or a 110 but it will sit below the chassis a little but I have never had any problems.

Just sharpie, Its a bic marker, makes the wires look black, not that weird color. Works better for me anyhow
