Hello,
I've been running the Cyclone for a while now on carpet. Here's what I ran this weekend in Omaha:
No front toe out in the blocks
2.0 mm front sway bar
25lb spring, Dk. blue Xray
600 wt. oil, 50 wt. equiv.
3.75mm spacer under camber link
3rd hole in on shock tower
inner hole on arm
4' caster
stock ackerman
1' toe out in tie rods
1mm spacers under blocks
longest camber link location on bulkhead
4mm ride height
2' camber
1mm droop over ride height
2.5' rear toe in the blocks
no sway bar
17.5 spring, White Xray
500 wt. oil, 40-45 wt. equiv.
1.5mm spacer under camber link
2nd hole in on shock tower
inner hole on arm
1mm spacer under blocks
longest camber link location on bulkhead
4.5mm ride height
2.5-3' camber
Arms all the way back
.75 spacer behind rear hub
2mm droop over ride height
Magenta tires F/R
3/4 sauce front, full rear
Protoform DNA1 body
This is all with a box stock chassis. On anything except the highest traction this will work pretty good.
Good luck!

I'm from the Omaha area but unfortunately couldn't race last weekend. Wish I could have seen your Cyclone run... unfortunately I'm about the only Cyclone guy around running TC anymore. Hope you enjoyed our facility!!

Has anyone heard any rumors about a new HB touring car?

I just want racing in 540 silver can class, in the case of Modified class has lack of drivers and 23T Sportsman class (my favourite) it's banned in my zone.
As Tamiya said it's for BL and control tire, in my eyesight it's just image promotion and pretext to release a car design copied from Xray. We must understand even in Japan it's not (yet) legally using BL system, i think should be good too in big turn motor races, due 23T is hugely famous to race on technical and narrow tracks of that country.
Of course 1 of my choice it's also Cyclone, because it's famous around me, then a lots of 540 clubman races in Japan are dominated by Cyclone of any versions.

Hold a second, DEC. edition of japanese magazines will release in these days, maybe there's some clues about this, but i preview should be difficult to find so much due it's so earlier to happen. Maybe after JMRCA Expert class nationals, let's see what chassis will Atsushi Hara use to this race.

I ordered the 18 tooth pulleys, and the new belts, just wondering what they make the tranny ratio now?
Is it 2.1?

a friend of mine runs the 3 racing 18t pulleys and never changed the belts...is it necessary?

Nope, as I saw photos in the JMRCA expert class qualify race, doesn't appeared the new HB chassis as rumoured before in the race.
Maybe only in Super expert finals, next year or IFMAR worlds, stay tuned.
