Thanks for your tip about boiled in water.
But i want to know if this could work also on old version arms?
In fact i don't think is enough just changing suspension arms.
Our new track's corners is made by concrete, they are really tough, i saw a gas car broke arm in 1st lap, was just a slightly touch.
Yes, it work, for all plastic parts, include the tyres, but without rubber, only rings, this make the plastic compound more flex, does not prevent you from being broken, but it is more shock-resistant.
This change the structure of compound, and the behavior, and is posssible you need a litle change in setup, because is a litle more soft suspension.

Greetings, Luis C.

I'm thinking of bailing my B44 and going D4 just for kix. I know nothing about it, but had a few questions I hope the forum could direct me with........


How much money will I need to spend after I buy the kit? Like absolutley neccessary things. ie) Hara's spring kit. LiPo Tray?

This car looks just like a B44 but more expensive, and I'm a sucker for that crap. Ha!!

I tried Korey's set up which works pretty well for me on parking lot races as well as indoor asphalt.

parking lot/low-medium asphalt setup now (90 deg air temp).

Front:

Spring: HPI Pro 4 Pink
Oil: Losi 70wt, zero rebound, no foam
Piston: 2 hole 1.2mm (the stock one)
Shock Position: 2 on arm, 3 on tower
Camber Link Position: long, 2mm under inner pivot
Camber: 2 deg
Caster: 4 deg
Toe block: 2.5 deg (try a 2.... it'll give a little bit crisper turn in)
Shims under suspension and toe blocks: 1.0mm
Droop: 5.5mm off of a gauge
Toe: 0
Wheelbase: .7mm behind arm, 2mm in front
Ackerman: 3mm on center bell crank
Front drive: spool
Swaybar: silver (1.4mm with 2mm gap in the links)

Rear:

Spring: HPI pro 4 blue
Oil: Losi 70wt, zero rebound, no foam
Piston: 1.2mm 2 hole
Shock position: 4 on tower, 3 on arm
Camber link position: long on bulkhead (1mm under pivot) and short on rear hub (0mm under it).
Toe block: 3 deg
Rear Hub: 0 deg (stock)
Swaybar: copper (1.2mm) with 3mm gap in link
Shims under toe and suspension blocks: 1.5mm
wheelbase: 2mm in front of arm,

Even the HB 1 is weak, i don't believe the 3racing's 1 is better, isn't it?

Just picked up a Cyclone. I'll be running 17.5. Orion has 3.5 as starting point. What gearing configurations does the chassis like best? I have a 47 & 52 pinion in my box.

Thanks. Rob.............

I have a moorespeed cyclone roller with some parts for sale. I hate to sell it but I need to raise some cash.

Are you running the Orion 17.5, or just looking at their gear chart?
The gearing will depend on the track and motor, Rob.
For the most part, you'll be between 3.5 and 4.7 FDR. Bottom end of that range for a higher torque motor on a large asphalt track. And near the top end of that for a higher RPM motor on a tighter track.

For example, I found the Orion 17.5 to have less top end, and ran it on an indoor carpet track at 3.9. On the same track, I run the 17.5 ORCA (higher RPM motor) at 4.6

On the TC (with the 18tooth pulleys) I usually start with the 93 spur for spec racing. With that, you can go from 4.9 to 3.6 FDR using 41 to 55 pinions.
