Hi mate just get a Spec R gear diff for the TCX.. have one in the rear of my Cyclone and its works fine.. use it with 2000 oil and its perfect.. just get some automotive silicone sealant to use with it to make sure it doesn't leak.. also u will need to use a couple of shims on the diff to make sure there is not too much movement..
Cheers

I used a wider bearing on one side to take up the slop.. another guy at the track put two bearings in one side and that seems to do the trick too.. also I only put the gear diff in the rear.. not the front.. I like to have the brakes a spool gives.. if ur running a gear in the front.. I would put some really thick oil in there.. like 100K-300K
A couple of pages back u put a pick of ur gear diff in the car.. there is not that much slop.. only a couple of mm's..some shimms would work ok.. just not wide ones.. thin like the hot bodies diff shims..

I need to measue the diameter of the outdrives then try to hunt down some bearings..
it will work and has great potiential - but you need to replace the bulkhead bearings with smaller inner diameter bearings to REALLY make it work

yes i did, but after looking at the car and running it...the outdrives were not actually supported by the bearings - so the car had a ton of drag

I found some non Hot Bodies drive pin clips that work pretty well

Just picked up a Cyclone TC for VTA Class. Looking for a FDR around 4.0. Does anybody have recommended gearing to reach this ratio with a spur/pinion that will fit onto the Cyclone TC???
thanks

But in the meantime, a 90t spur with a 48t pinion (4.06ish) or a 90/49 (3.98) is as close as you get
