Unhappy Cyclone TC owners READ THIS

I downloaded from the USVTA website a spreadsheet for calculating Final Drive Ratios (FDR) for various cars. For the Cyclone TC car it calculates the FDR incorrectly unless you have the 16 tooth center pulley gear installed on your car. All my TC cars (I bought 3 kits) came with the 18 tooth center pulley gears and for that the multiplier should be 2.1667 not 2.4375. Can cause over gearing and motor over heating.
