Wow, we got some passionate racers here!

In my area Xray is the dominant car and the 008 works well.

I originally bought the Cyclone just cause I didn't wanna run what everybody else was. Then I found out just how capable the Cyclone is on the track. It's a great feeling to put that car on the grid in a sea of Xrays!

BTW-the last time I ran my 008, I broke a front arm. just lightly clipped an inside corner board. snapped like a dry twig!

I hate to say it but the T2 hard bumper (Xray or Parma) will work. Just gotta open up the post holes a little.

I usually shape them a little for a better fit on the body but, never had to actually cut them down.

Right, it would rub if you're running rubber tire. You'd have to shape it a little to clear.

ran the car for the first time today. While the two month lay off had me a little rusty all I can say is damn the car was stuck. It had good steering and plenty of rear traction. I was scared of pushing the car since I was driving Scotty's and not my own. I will be running my own car next weekend for a little practice. Gotta shake the rust off and get ready for the Speedworld cup in July. At Speedworld I will mostly be running my 4.5 and at Norcal a 3.5. I ran a 4.5 today and it felt just fine. Marcos J has landed in Sacramento......LOL

The steering knuckles do seem to be a bit on the weak side though.

I find that the C-hubs on this car are weak as f---. Once i switched to aluminum c-hubs and steering blocks the only parts that break are arms and bent hinge pins

I hope you guys are right about the T2 parma bumper fitting I ordered it!
