WOW!

i looked at it and couldnt figure out why it looked more purple then mine lol haha


and if you think about it, if you go over the timing tower, it doesnt count the lap till the car/transponder gets that far over the line for it to count, so if u start and the transponder is in the back, then the lap wont start till its way back there lol

it took me some thinking, idk that thats correct, but seems so

Hi guys

thanks for the good comments on the car.

It looks vivid, cause the lighting in the room was such that the colour looked brighter, that's all.

The turnbuckles have been replaced from std titanium, to aluminum, thus the anodising is exactly the same as the rest aluminum parts and they are a bit lighter, but also more fragile.

AMB location is fine.. no big deal for a few centimeters.. I am not that good anyway, I don't think that position will cost me any places.
Besides.. what better excuse than say, I came 3rd cause the AMB was located on my car at the rear end!

I think youll find the reason for that is the steering arm which sits on the servo saver hits the bulkheads. When setting your car up you should make sure that the sterring dual rates are turned down so that the servo is not strained everytime you go to full lock.

PS. Are we related or something :P

Sure, but before I can even think about the Euros next week I must prepare my car for the 5th round of the UK nationals held this weekend, so it's totally disassembled right now.

I was going to delete the images in replying to this thread. I dont remember if you are the same dude that uploaded the similar type pics like a year ago, but you have the nicest looking Cyclone. I mean, damn. If running a car without a shell wins races, we'd see your ugly mug on top of many a podium! Sweet ride!!!

Default Cyclone Asphault setup

Does the Cyclone WCE use the same pivot supports as the Pro 4? Also what degree should I be using in the front? Spacers? Spool versus one-way?

I respect my elders. And no, jarhead, you wrote

Heck, Atsushi Hara won the on-road worlds asphalt in 2004 with the Pro4
and that is simply not true. Hara won the first one back in 2000, Japan, iirc running a yokomo. Then Surikarn (Tamiya), Marc (Tamiya), Andy (HB). Look and learn: http://www.ifmar.org/pages/halloffame.html

Go clean your rifle.
