I just bought another Cyclone. this time a Moorespeed version.....I like blue better than Purple. I had the last one re anoed black. it was a Hara L.E.
the steering knuckles from HPI/H.B. are somewhat brittle. sometimes the lightest brush or tap and they will break. after breaking a few I went to the XRay steering knuckles and have'nt broke one since.
you can findd the XRay steering knuckles for around 5 bucks if you look around too.

Thanks

naw!!!! purple all the way! lol, i am just amaised how simple this car is! its just amasing!

but are the knuckles a diect fit on the car? bering fit right in? and no extra binding or anything?

and for u, get some version 2 spindles, steel shafts and the re build kit.... there SOOOO MUCH BETTER! there cvds built in reverse, the spindle has the cup and the shaft goes into the spindle! so they wont bind in the cup as simple so u get more steering:018:

Hi,

they are a pretty much a swap in deal. I only have had to lightly sand one knuckle. but I think it might have been the "C" hub more than the knuckle itself.
I got the new "CVD's" on the Moorespeed" I'll be odering the same for mine soon. the Moorespeed is for my son as he's the better driver. I just wrench and tune, then drive.

Thanks

no u didnt, u got the old cvds, there newer, but there not the newest version 2's. the revised them even more:019: but this time there a million times better, so get those just for the front, so about 34 bucks for the swap, but these ones wont ever ware out the way there built:018:

here's the new ones, but those are al, so dont buy that kit, but u can see what they look like

Hi,

I'm running the Tamiya verison of those on my son's car. I used the TB04 TRF versions as they are long enough to work without binding. the older style CVD's are what I run. just like the TC3's/TC4's have. I'll oder a couple of sets of those for my son's car on Monday.
thanks for the Tip!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I run TiR pinions on all of my sedans. I have two complete sets and almost a third. for some reason TiR products have been really hard to get over here in the USA lately. I ordered the input shhafts for a TC3 I was building for a friend and never got them. (to bad as they are a nice piece). hopefully things will get better soon over here.

Thanks

yeh i know about tir, the ti cvds are very spendy imo... but they are very strong, but for the price im going to use te version 2 ones, the stock ones suck imo, there very simple to break with a spool up front, and a crash or 2... and the version 2 ones dont bind like the first ones when u turn to far, they still will after a certain oint but u can go alot farther =)

np man, another thing id recomend is a p dub bumper, i dont have one but there bigger (wider) so they save u more damage, by a ffew pro racers.. but i havent found one

Hi,

Yeah the P Dub bumper rocks. so does the Parma one. and if you can find it the RubberNeck Racing stuf is the best. Kevin makes the best bumpers and inserts out there.

Thanks

yeh, and i will have to cheack those out, or get a big one and shvae it... idk
