BUT
For some reason i'm still drawn to a belt driven car. The RDX and the Cyclone. I've been told corally parts are normally hard to get and overpriced so i'm thinking of leaving that one alone.
Is there anyone that has driven both the cyclone and the pro 4 that can give me a comparison of the two cars?
Because the drive train is so easy to brake on a shaft driven car, how much would i be looking at at replacing it in the pro 4 if/when it brakes?
Sorry for all the questions but i want to get all the info i can.
Thanx, Gizmo
to find the comparisons of the two cars go onto the US forum and look for the cyclone thread and as the question there.
now the pro4 is a fantastic car. handels well, weight transfers good, etc. parts are easy to get just give frontline hobbies in newcastle a call give them the part number and quantity. its pretty cheap shipping to sydney. now to fix the broken gears it is fairly easy the part will cost you around $5 - $10 for the beaval gears.
appart form that its a great car to learn all the fine tuning adjustments.
