Does anybody here know if the new cyclone parts will fit on the old cyclone? I am missing a few parts from my cyclone when I bought the kit.

Check the bladder's. My front shocks kept leaking from the cap too, even after I added a washer. I found it was a small hole in the bladder it self.

Yes, most of the parts are the same. The newer TC use's newer arms, swaybar mounts, chassis & top deck, rear diff and upper bulkheads.

Bearings, castor blocks, knuckles, rear hubs, lower bulkheads are all the same design.

they can tear on install on every shock brand with this style bladder, you don't need the grip of death to hold shocks together. they just need to be hand tight and not leak.

Hey everyone,

Well... I know I'm not supposed to do this, but I'm going to give a shot anyway. I have a Futaba 3PKS with FASST and two receivers that I'm trying to get rid of. If anyone is interested please PM me for price and pics. Gotta make room for my new Ko Stuff!!!
