The guy who runs our on-road races at our track and who owned an HPI Pro 4, bought a new Cyclone , switched all of his gear from the HPI Pro 4 to the Cyclone. Made one minor adjustment to the suspension out of the box and then raced and set a NEW track time record on our track! They car looks great and has some great features that makes it way more accessible than the Pro 4 and of course has lightened it up considerably over the Pro 4.

But at the end of the day, will us, as racers, see the true value of that and justify the increase in costs? I think it is very subjective to the individual as to the answer to that question.
