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.

Which Orion lipo fits the Cyclone TC with the battery trays?
I'm still trying to locate a Cyclone TC kit.

given a 6cell setup, i am now switching over to lipo in my cyclone with 17.5 What i want to know is what necessary as far as tuning/setup changes when going from NIMH to LIPO? The car was already balanced with weights with the nimh setup so i figure with lipo i need to re-balance it...anything else?
anyone else, feel free to answer. No really, go ahead.

...and at most club races, weight isnt' even an issue. You might still add a couple cubes of weight to the battery side, but you'll have to test it to see.
As yyhayyim said, just make sure it is balanced left to right as close as possible.

Foam Tyres
I am going to racing my Cyclone in the UK on foam tyres and just wanted to know if it is recommended to run a diff up front instead of the one way / spool.

stevej62: Most likely you'll want either a diff or spool...but certainly not a one-way. Its going to be a preference thing at that point.

Thanks for the advice on diff selection, I have been looking for a basic foam tyre set up on the HB site but couldnt find one, any guidance would be aprreciated. Its for the Cyclone TC on Gecko foams without additive running 10.5 brushless.
