Yes - the "shaped" orion packs drop right in the existing slots in the chassis. I use 3800's in my Hara Ed.

I used to have platinum 4800's but I sold them as I was tired of loosing the pack during the races, no matter how much tape I used (granted, the tape wouldn't rupture if I didn't hit anything, but, hey, we're all humans )

Does anybody use the titanium racing spool? Is it better than hot bodies (3) spool?

If you mean the TIR spool, dont get it as the outdrives break easily....

Does anyone know where I can get a LiPo tray that will fit the Black Edition Cyclone and take the IP 3800 25c Battery??

Thanks!

The picture I posted below is the ip3800 on a pdp lipo plate. I shaved down the humps and I have a ton of clearance but even before shaving them off I had room if you shave the bulkhead down

Another question to the titanium racing spools.There are two different spools:
1.US-spec spool
2.Pro comp. spool

Which one is better and why.

Thanks Michael

agreed, Titanium racing is all $hit anyways. Oh and they ripped me off so i had to file a claim with my CC and it took 3 months to get my money back. Scammers.

I've had used a TIR spool but its not that durable as the version3 spool, of which both complete spool and replacement are cheaper. Also I did more like the black color in combination with the steel driveshafts instead of the purple/silver colored spool, so no reason to buy a TIR spool

I just got the plastic tub Cyclone S. It was a fun build. But I got about 5 laps out of it before I broke a front hub and a very light tap at that. The part (HBS73507) is out of stock, I hope that in not a bad sign of it's durability.

Is there an aluminum upgrade for the front hubs?

Default hubs.

The front hubs a super weak. 3racing make some aluminum hubs for the car that are cheap. Also the The Knuckles will brake on you , 3 racing also makes those too.

here is the link:

there is also a bunch of 3 racing parts on ebay.
