4. Moorespeed tons of Purple Bling!! discontinued because of newer car. Expensive.
5. Cyclone TC the newest model out. Less expensive, not as much bling but
but better upgraded components.

I live in NoVa. raced both my cars at the HPI race @301. Setups are easy to find to get the car to work, car drives easy!! Parts are reasonably priced.

Currently racing at THE TRACK(MIMIs).. LMK if you need more info. I currently own 3 out of the 5 models... Chris @ 301 has seen my cars run, Vince drove my other car to see what electric was about.

Arv.

you forgot the Hara edition so that would be 6

about those Xray U-joint style axles...someone else posted this...

"the dogbone will probably be a little too short - the cyclone's are 50.3mm long...

Now if you could swap dogbones, you might be onto something"

If the cyclone ones are 50.3mm than the 52mm xray bones will fit no problem. I am running pro4 axles in my cyclone with no issue and they are at least 3mm longer than the cyclone axles

The problems with the original diff have been fixed with the new pro spec diffs.

The issue is going to be does it fit through the c-hub? The xray is getting new c-hubs I believe that have a wider opening.
