Cyber 10B

It's for the front. The WCE slipper is longer towards the front compared to the original D4 slipper. The included shaft makes up for this difference.

On a different note, installing the rear D4 shaft will cause it to interfere with my battery. A mixture of it being thicker and connecting to the gearbox at an angle.

My lipos have little feet designed to mimic a NIMH cell which I think makes it taller. I had to push the battery forward too to stop it from rubbing against the rear coupling.

Thanks scrawl... just noticed it while fixing it up

Apart from the obviously different colour, is there any difference between the WCE slipper set and the upcoming orange dedicated Cyber slipper set? The price maybe?


Do you think you could do without a slipper for the time being if running only a 13.5 and/or 17.5 motor? (not simultaneously, of course!)

Just curious scrawl... did you by any chance try mounting the Front and Rear Gear Box on the Cyber 10B to see if it fits

I've been wondering the same thing myself. In 2WD stock, I've been running without a slipper since January and haven't noticed any real increase in wear and tear. This is on fairly dusty dirt track and being 2WD means you're never really getting any serious traction.

Neither are a direct fit.

You wouldn't want to run the rear D4 gearbox anyway as it doesn't have the angled drive cup.

Looking at the front gearbox, the top part might be interchangable but then you'd have to find a compatible top deck.

Managed to weigh the car too. 1680g all up, including lipo.

While looking at the gearboxes, just noticed the steering knuckles differ in design (I think it's called the knuckle) to the D4, as do the front arms.

D4 knuckles have a small grub screw which captures the pin and attach to the turnbuckle from the top. Cyber knuckles attach to the turnbuckle sideways. The pin is captured on the arm with some small screws.

So if you switch to D4 front arms, you'll either need to drill some small holes in to capture the pin or switch to D4 knuckles too.

Well done to Adam Skelding for taking the NE Regional win with the Cyber 10b against some quick looking Cats and Kyosho's. But the Cyber was lapping faster than everyone all day.
But an excellent race in the final was very close with the Cyber taking it!

Nice one.

Congrads Adam...

Here's a photo before the final.
I'll take a scan of the set-up and post it on here.

We don't have an editable .pdf yet, but should be coming soon.

Finished building my Cyber10b.

Only thing left now is to wait for the weather to clear up and visit the track.

Awesome

[Panic]

Is this car available yet and are there any plans to release some carbon fibre parts for it?(ie towers, chassis, etc etc).

Kit is available where I am. Not sure about future options parts, but here are the goodies they currently have

[telboy]

No need for the carbon chassis etc. its good enough as it is.
There are the obvious hop ups like the slipper and drive train parts, but other than that, no need fo carbon.

If you like carbon, theres always the D4.

I already have a D4 but i want to switch to a car that can run with stick lipos. I cant stand those saddle packs anymore.

[scrawl]

What I would like to see is a center driveshaft CVD coupling for the rear gearbox.

The D4 one makes the center shaft slope too steeply. Can't sling a lipo underneath.

[telboy]

Pretty sure they make an option part for the cvd prop shafts.
If its not out now then it'll be out soon.
