Just completed a few weeks of testing the HB Cyclone and an Xray T2. Tested here in sunny south florida, on outdoor asphalt track. In my opinion, the HB Cyclone is a notch above the T2 in handling and infield speed, with the stock double one way set up. The HB Cyclone is also a little easier to set up and wrench on than the T2. However, its a much weaker and brittle than the T2. THe Xray car quality and finish of parts is much better than any car's, including the HB cyclone, and its presentation is second to none. The Xray T2 is much more adjustable than the HB Cyclone, although its a little more technical and complex, since the Cyclone is minimal and simple in its design and set ups. Overall, the Xray T2 is best suited for intermediate to experienced drivers, for the fact that it comes with double ball diff set ups, and no spool, or one way options, or sway bars. Parts are very sttrong and its going to last longer after its takien a beating. Not so the Cyclone! The HB Cyclone is for experienced drivers who will not crash as often and thus break parts often. THe HB cyclone's dogbones and ball studs are very weak, and it tends to break a little more often than the T2 when takin the same punding. However, the Cyclone out of the box is more race ready and has more option parts for speed and handling, and its just a quicker car in the infield. All those who have driven both cars, please comment and share your findings and opinions
