Purple hubs are great so long as they don't bend.. (prepares to be shouted down by people who know better... ) keep springs soft camber 1.5 or 2 ride height 6 toe should be parallel and that should be about it! Reuben will help you with the rest of it, he's faster than me!  |

well now I have to answer this one, no pressure  Getting a Cyclone going "well" is easy with a base setup and some decent electronics. Eg new outdoor driver Jason - basic setup, some decent electronics and is now putting in 18 laps! However moving to a Cyclone going "Fast" (or any other car infact) is about then adjusting this setup to suit your driving style and the track, finding those 1/10s of a second here and there. And this setup stuff is VERY personal. If I posted my setup here, maybe 1 out of 5 drives would like it. So here is what I think is a good place to start from with the Cyclone: i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn254/geubes/setup.pngPlay arround from this setting (only adjust 1 thing at a time at first) until you find something that suits you and gives quick lap times. Note - This wheel base gives a very front-endy car. Come check the car next time we are out at bashley and it wont be far off that setup. Steve - Ive run the alloy front hubs for a while now and not had any troubles with them (just remember to thread lock them as the screws do come loose.) If you are constantly breaking the standard ones theres a good chance of bending the alloy ones. The reason I got them is that they do take the freak impact better and the screw holes do not wear out like the standard ones usually do. Especially having to take out the screws to get to the bearings to clean. |

Hey Im Pro..... I can get away with these things ....That was quick in such a short time...must of been all the "Base" set up help a few months ago Steve I don't favor the Alloy "C" hubs apart from distorting with a hard impact the bearing hub pivot holes wear prematurly..The Alloy bearing hubs(front and rear) are fine,they seem to hold the bearings more securly...neither are necessary though the kit parts are fine. What Cyclone model do you have(TC,Worlds eddition) as there is a difference with a good stable basic set up for our track. |
