Cyclone

[Garry]

I fancy a change, so mine is for sale as a rolling chassis.

This started life as a bog standard Hot Bodies Cyclone S, no upgrades at all. I ran it for 2 weeks standard, but then I started to look at the new options coming out from 3Racing..... Soon these arrived:

3Racing parts:
Purple front upper and lower bulkheads
Purple rear upper and lower bulkheads
Purple motor mount left and right
Purple middle heatsink block
Carbon S towers front and rear (and rear body posts)
Carbon upper deck
Carbon lower deck
Purple FR pivot block
Purple RF pivot block
Purple Centre shaft and pullys
Purple Servo mounts
Purple alloy bearing holders (x2)
Black alloy Driveshafts (1pr)

HPI Pro 4 parts:
Purple Alloy driveshafts
Graphite wishbones, hubs, hub carriers)
0deg Caster blocks
FF and RR pivot blocks
Purple alloy low-friction shocks
Purple alloy shock bushings
Front foam bumper (dark grey looks better!)
Purpley~blue turnbuckles
HD diff screw and nut

Hot Bodies parts:
Version 2 Spool (was Blue, now partly de-anodized with a wire wheel and a Dremel)
Silver alloy rear diff outdrives

Jet parts:
Carbon bumper support plate (on offer over here)

Spares include all the original plastic parts, shocks, soem wishbones, rear hubs, bearings, and all the bits that were left over from the Pro 4. 2 nearly full parts boxes!

The downsides are, the spool needs changing as the outdrives are a bit worn, and a couple of screws are close to rounding off. I think it needs a pair of front driveshafts (haven;t seen if I can rebuild them yet), and the centre layshaft is a little twisted.

Its boxed, and has 3 manuals (Cyclone, Cyclone S and Pro 4).

£170 or swap for a good touring car I haven't had yet (T2 etc).
