Hara is a machine! Now that is a serious RC racing professional, no doubting that.
I too was wondering about the long line of practice bodies in the first set of pics, maybe different trims or something that he is testing with D/F adjustments or something.

I really wouldn't mind finding on indoor onroad track in my area but I am pretty sure there aren't any. Indoor is something have never done, and even though I have been into nitro offroad for a veyr long time..I want to go EP touring now, the Cyclone lineup seems like a superb choice if I ever got the chance....

He has all the same bodies, but it may be due to different spoilers.. some Hot Bodies come with 3 different spoilers, (my Hot Bodies Mazda came with 3 kinds to use) some of his bodies dont have spoilers mounted yet. Also depending on Arm spacing and wheelbase, i dont think 1 body will align with the different arm spacing. If he used only 2 bodies, the wheels wont align with the fenders... looks like he tries a setup and then bodies to see which one is the "WINNING" setup.

just a thought.

No problem.

Hold the car in the air...the front of the car pointing to your left. You should now be looking at the side of the car...or the drivers side. This is how you would reference the 'time-clock' of hours for the diff cams; 12 being straight up, 6 being straight down, 9 being the cam notch pointing to the front of the car, etc.

If there is any problum understanding you can go to http://www.hotbodiesonline.com/index2.php and download the manual. Any version of the car manual will show how to properly install this part.

Using the times on a clock method can be confusing. 3 o'clock on one side becomes 9 o'clock on the otherside. Also, the front and rear use opposite setting to get the same tension settings.

Try this:

Use the notch on the bearing holder as a marker. Try to think of these notches in relation to the center pulley on the car. If the notch is pointing away from the center pulley, the belt will have the least amount of tension applied. If the notch is pointed directly toward the center pulley, it will have maxium tension applied. This method doesn't change from front to rear, or from left to right. Make sure that the notch positions match left to right or you will get the bearings out of allignment and your diff/spool will bind and won't fit correctly.

That's why I was relating to the drivers side as the reference, then set the opposite side (passenger side) to match. Guess it's easier when you show someone.

I've been running the Cyclone now for about, oh, 5 or 6 months now. Started with the AME, but mostly run the new TC. Car is really good outdoors.

On the drivers side: 9 o'clock on the front will be the loose setting. But 9 o'clock on the rear will be the tightest setting.
