first of all i think the cyclone geometry as it was is still very good the only thing it needs is better lipo support.
this car I think it changed quite a bit.
so far obvious visual changes i've seen:
-new chassis plate
-new one piece topdeck (now including the old rear topdeck)

-new motor mount bulkhead (coming across the chassis?)
-belts changed side
-new central pulleys (thinner, no more boss so mounted like yokomo?)
-steering servo rotated
-used (new?) alloy front steering blocks
-different FR suspension block?
-new rear shock tower? (this one is notched in the middle and we didn't have that yet)

and i can't see very well but there must be a new alloy bulkhead front or rear holding the spool or diff as the current cyclone cannot support a long topdeck over he entire car. so far i think it is at the front.

btw if you find more or better pictures please do post here!
