hi guys , i have two question please.

first question: is there any benefit of buying the 2 wayfront diff of the cyclone TC and the pro spec ball diff to put on my moorspeed.

second question: why does the cyclone TC has a plastic belt tensionner , plastic bearing cover , and differente sway bar mount then the moor speed . whats the benefit of all that .
also the rear lower suspension why is there suspension mounting holes on both side aswell as the sway bar mount .

Thank you

Not much need for the two-way unless youre often changing between one-way and spool. Otherwise its a bit on the heavy side.

The belt tensioner locates better keeping it straight in relation to the topdeck at all times.
The plastic bearing holders reduce vibrations and finally the sway bar mounts these help the sway bars to move more freely and consistently, in addition they are far easier to adjust.
The reverse-able wishbones are used on both front and rear, they offer more tuning opportunities.

longer wheelbase will make the care more stable and better in high speed turns ( wide open tracks)

shorter wheelbase will make the car feel nimble and its good for small tight tracks.

Thank you

The added options are the extra holes for the lower shock mounting position

The new arms are not for wheel base tuning per se...that you will still do with shims on the hinge pins. The new arms allow you to reverse them for fine tuning shock hole positions, which is pretty cool, like the WCE shock towers which have the in between holes for finer shock position adjustments.

I didn't know that the older bulkheads are discontinued... I'll check into it though. If they are, then the TC ones are a drop in replacement. They just look a tiny bit different.

Just checked... HB USA has the older style front and rear bullheads in stock as well. So if you needed some spares they have them in stock

Korey- Kick ass job as usual bro Too bad you're not running HB USA I am finally changing over my belts and pullies to the 18tooth. I am only going to run 13.5 and 10.5 until maybe March so my mod's will be collecting dust. Going to lighten the car up for club racing just a bit. I don't have to worry about weight until the Ko race in October so I will be running a little light and see if that changes anything.
