  1. Acme Cyclone. WHAT A CAR! 

    Iv put aluminium lower arms 

    Different weight oil in front & rear diffs & shocks. The sh18 engine was crap if fried it instantly (first nitro) I put a Vertex 18 THE PULL START EATERS. No it has a rota & is reliable as hell. Had it 4yrs & there's little play on suspension parts 

  2. ByYeah the few symptoms u described happen my revs fluctuate. Wen rolling to stop revs do a big drop to wot I think is a good low idle. Fule consumption is better. I have had over heat cut outs last few days in hot weather with shell on but as standard I read the car over heats. 

    I had thought of opening one of them filters & putting a electric fan inside & connecting  to the throttle servo for power so the fan would suck at different revs similar the throttle. (if it worked) it's probably more complex connection than. Is it? 

    I really think it would be overkill super lean, damaging & a bitch to tune

    Seen this mod lots of times... You have to be careful using these rebranded oil breather filters... Due to their open nature... You may want to add an extra layer of foam around the filter itself.... 

     

    They also make your engine run leaner due to more air flow than a standard 2 stage foam filter.... Which is why your seeing power gains.... Make sure you richen your mix to compensate... 

     

    ?

     

  3. My YouTube link for the video Here is the video of my air filter. The car is on plastic drift tyres watch how quick it gets into 2nd gear See pictures for how I made it. 

     

    I got the air filter from wish, others had put them on there nitro's. More searching I found that they are for scooters mopeds & RB innovations sell the same thing for crazy money, I made it for £3. 

     

    Yesterday I had a speed bash on road tyres, best my car has run. I videoed it u can hear it hit 2nd gear & it's flying. 

    Today I made my new air filter, ****.... it revs 40% higher I reckon. I was on drift tyres & the speeds I was getting up to on hard plastic tyres was unbelievable. 2nd gear is there in half the time. I was concerned at the time how fast it will be on my slick road tyres. 

    Words come to mind like. Runway. Frightening, crash barriers, expensive 

     

    I will be adding the video

    Im new to nitro & a modifier. This thread will be for the cyclone pro. all things cyclone upgrade & modifications, I think the Cyclone & hsp 94122 are the same. The main components. Drive train, suspension, differentials, & more. Let's try to prove this so we get the same parts with no + % £$€.See pic.

     

    notice the similarities. Look at that upper front suspension arm. I think it's the same car well all the major components.

    Hi guys,

     

    I've been doing some speed runs lately over a span of around 300 metres, however I find myself always going out of range. The radios I have tried are:

     

    Spektrum DX3R

    Spektrum DX2E

    Spektrum STX2

     

    All of thee seem to lose range at around 50-100 metres, so I'm thinking of trying Futaba. 

     

    Ideally under £100, would the Futaba 3PV be any better range-wise?

     

    Thanks for any opinions

    Looking for something ike a Futaba 3PV

     

    I posted a link for my FlySky GT3C it arrived Wednesday. Don't think buy one fast u won't find cheaper in the UK. 

    I can also help u increase the range on ur original remote

     

     

     

  6. I just bought a FlySky GT3C for £33 posted. My advice is. Take my link & buy one fast. It transformed my nitro car. The range is insane I turn around when I almost can't see it. it has I built in failsafe & u can ad 10 different models or settings setups. 

    Go buy one from here, he is the cheapest in the UK I had the more expensive Orange on for the price most charge for the silver, but does take the **** in posting it, it took a week to arrive.
