I believe he is referring to the cost of the parts required to upgrade the WCE to the Super Terrific Cyclone TC WCE!!!

Theres no Ti-ni parts like the wce... Its just like a normal black cyclone, with all the basic parts, im sure a hara/moore kit will come soon with all the WCE stuff
also the cyclone TC has a plastic belt tensioner, servo mounts, spring pirches, shock bushings, etc vs the WCE has all alloy.

you do realize that all the parts you (in particular) mention are more for show than go, right??

you do realize that most of the "pros" run very little alloy on their cars? aside, from the cvds and heat sink parts?? Can this car be a "pro level" car - as in "this is what the pros run, no need for anything else"??



you guys that want a 100% alloy chassis really baffle me - if you want that much allow, run 8th scale or 5th scale....you'll get all the alloy you'd ever want there

I have a Cyclone Black. I can just get the chassis plates and diffs or do I need the bulk heads too?
