Hi Guys, Yeah the outdoor season has started again here in the not so sunny holland, cyclone rebuild all ready to go for the first practice day in the outdoor season and i was very very happy because i can pull the cyclone out of the closet again (i race 1:18 in the winter) and my gear was very upgraded i had a home-build grooved motor, peak 4200's, a new KO servo (2343FET Digital bla bla bla...).
I didn't had much time to set-up my car i did it pretty much in a rush .
I wanted to leave early but my dad is so slow , arriving on the track... it's full of nitro's and i am not very anti-nitro i just don't like it, never driven with nitro's eather.... but ive got the car al set-up just a final check on the new servo, and first a warming up with my 19t... and before nitro's i thaught that's pretty fast my 19t but after yesterday i only want 12t mod .... but the car was pretty dialed in with 19t i went past all the 1:8 & 1:10 nitro's because they where al gardening and i was running extremly constant laps times of 22 sec 21 etc. etc. etc.
and then it was time to keep up with the 1:10 nitro's in a fair way...... but i was disapointed the set-up was to weake i think for the power of the 12t grooved, so do you have any suggestions i run rubber on a huge ''holland'' asphalt track . but for the rest it was a very funny and mayba not so successful day but i had a lot of fun.
Here some pics with matching stories :



Offcourse this speaks for it self my cyclone (a little smal )



What happens when a cyclone chrashes into a stationary FK 05 ? well this the FK 05 here above, and it has no damage only a busted up shell but this is wat happend with (my) cyclone



yes a broken steering knuckle (i am getting the alu jet racing ones and i am still thinking about a p-dub bumper is it really that good ?)



Here a ''small'' impression of my track



And BTW : a 1:8 nitro ran into me and pushed of the track onder a fence and i broke my front lower arm... but lucky i had a replacement but my shell is busted op ....... and excuse me for my english.
