Plenty. If they don't, I have PLENTY in my spares box. I'm pretty sure they just got in more last Friday.

That's pretty much what I was running. I'll have to try that body you were sporting Sunday. It really CARVED on the track.

My car picked up a slight push going into the left hand turns and didnt feel quite right in the main,but was still quick.The wide/Rear suspension bridge was missing a screw and the shim so the block was floating.I think the bridge is bent now because when I went to replace the shim and screw.It didnt want to seat flush. Oh well.BTW, Vasutin's car is a POUND light!I couldn't believe it! 1240grams with body.We had a little talk on why running a spool may be the way he needs to go.

I'm pretty sure I have one of those (black) sitting on my workbench. Let me know it you need it. Yeah, 1240!!!! I thought you guys would scream about my car being at 1418 but, 1240?!?!?!?!?! WOW!!!!! I'm bringing some lead to stick on that car next time he runs! LOL I know what you mean, I talked to him about it too. It was a shame to see that battle pushed off due to contact....oh well, next time! I sure had fun calling that race though!!!!

Guy's--I am thinkin about trading my 07 xray for a cyclone ,tc ver. even trade-
both cars are in good shape.Is this a good deal- I already have a cyclone s that I have added a cg chassis to and like the car.Please be honest and I know this is a HB forum.
PS:I bought the x car because I was fed up with parts availability= race day 1st heat-shattered outdrive on the cyclone and no parts.

Well ive searched the world for a NEW TC Cyclone, and cant find 1 anywhere, what are Hotbodies playing at, surely its not good business, for when you go into your lhs and get told we don't know when there coming in, that person then goes to another brand, that in my eyes it not good for any business, and least of all the sport.

Could some one from HB or a representative please let us racers know what on earth is going on please.
Regards Malc TCCFM

Another race with my Cyclone, another podium. Im So happy with the car so far and it reacts very good to changes i try at the track.

Finals are based on 3 legs. First one i finished 5th as my last changes to setup ended not being good. I went back to prior setup and messes just on toe in at the back, ended 2nd on the 2nd leg, and 2st place on last leg, so by points system i ended 3rd this Sunday July 5th.

This was stock 13.5 brushless asphalt rubber based outdoor racing.

Thanks for the help guys !

cya,
