ta05 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Nice shell Matt, I have one myself Get some long bodypins, they are easier to put on if they have a big loop on the end and you'll only need 2 of them. Easier to find in your pit area too, I wont tell you how many times ive been in a mad rush to find small body clips seconds before my race is due to start, haha...

Matt Donalds Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Get some long bodypins, Easier to find in your pit area too, I don't like the long bodypins, if it comes out, there's more of an effect on the handling than if one small one came out. I just use bright colour bodypins, they're still pretty easy to find Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't come off on their own accord, you know what I could say after that don't you... Something along the lines of don't crash, or get crashed into (Sorry, I don't want to make that sound bad, it is only my wit that's bad!)

Something along the lines of don't crash, or get crashed into You do have a point But when you have an awful day because the car is not handling right and qualify in the D-Final, it's hard not to get taken out by everyone at the first corner Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... Try this for a race meeting (Friday night). Q1 and 7 laps in I broke a steering arm and C hub. replaced the C hub, glued the steering arm together, piece broke off where the bottom screw goes in (the highest stressed area of the part) TQ'd Q2, Set an even faster time in Q3 and took P1 in the A final. Led the 6 minute final from start to finish too, praying for all 6 minutes that I didnt crash, and that any crashes didnt wreck the car. To top it off, i grip rolled, twice... Still no retirement That was intense! Back to the bodyclips. From my own experience, I think they look neater and they wont come off so easy. The best bit was I were given them...

Cherry2blost Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Hi thought I would show my baby, she is now coming up to a year old and began life as a very tired second hand cyclone-S off of Ebay. She has the 3 Racing Chassis, top deck, bulkheads etc etc, some custom made belts to fit the Yokomo Diffs (40 Tooth running on 40/17 for a weird gearing)she drives considerably better than her owner and is just stonking. Oh and I forgot to say that the transplant that took place today of the FR block from the kit plastic to a 3Racing one now means that there is NOTHING now left from the original, may as well have just bought all the parts and built her from scratch, hang on that gives me an idea for the new year lol. BTW the bearings have now all been replaced with Ceramicas as have the Diff balls in those oh so smooth Yokie ones.

OllieS Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Wow that looks an amazing chassis. Well I might as well stick my mi4 lp up here so here it is: Need to remount the esc so it will sit all flush by the motor.

Cherry2blost Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) I have fancied an Mi4 since I first heard about them coming out, I think that it's the snazzy motor mount that does it for me. Only problem is that I am sort of jaded against Schuumacher cars in general since the hellish time that I had with my old SST. It had those terrible adjustable turnbuckles for the rear toe in and try as you might could never get the toe ins equualized. Also I had issues with the general fragility at the time and moved onto a Kyosho TF-3 which was indestructible in the extreme then onto TF-4 and HPI PRO 3's. I kinda missed the worst of the market because I only upgraded last December (2008) to the Cyclone FROM the PRO3. I do however have another car which I find awesome too and am torn for Carpet Wars which one to run Cyclone or this...... Excuse the shell but it has had some accident damage and the body shop have only got as far as the primer coat !
