Are the SDW arms used on the BD also used with the cyclone ft end or do you use starndard wishbones??


Thanks
The Masami tower is ment to give more steering and make the car more stable.

I don't know about the SDW arms with the HB front end, from what I have seen the standard arms work well with the HB front end. I am in the middle of making the conversion on my car to HB front end. The results looks awesome, can't wait Will test it out this weekend - better not rain

I havn't completed it yet, I was building it on saturday hoping to race with it on Sunday, but I realised I was still missing a part, so I will get that part and try it at racing this weekend.

There are pictures a couple of pages back though.
Parts I used:

HPI:
1x 75187 - Universal Axel
1x 75188 - Universal Rebuild kit
1x 73518 - C-hub 4 deg
2x 73507 - Knuckles/rearhubs or 1x CYL-06B Jet Racing Alloy Knuckles from Precision RC
1x 75116 - King Pin Ball Stud (bottom just uses a 3x8 screw)
1x 75122 - King Pin Collar
1x 75119 - Suspension shaft
1x Z775 - C-hub set screw

Tamiya
1x OP-871 - 48mm Alloy TA-05 dogbones
1x B1050 - 10x5 bearings (or is it 8x5? something by 5 anyway, yokomo is 10x6, or 8x6, whatever)

I think thats all of it

i didn't try them on the front...i thought having the steels on the front would be better durability.
They fit good if you are using the SDW arms in the front!

It is not a spool, it is 2 diff halfs. It shows that it comes with a diff screw and the two diff halfs. It shows that you can use it with either the BD os SD.

surely if it was a spool it wouldnt have places to put your d rings and wouldnt have screw a spring init. def diff outdrives.

anyone know who them people was that made the alloy steering plate cant find it anywhere unless anyone else is making them.

I never said the other picture wasnt diff halves. The first picture looks like a spool, have a look close in by the pulley its not round like a diff would be. There is an edge there that i've seen on other spools before.
