Been working on fettling this HB Cyclone. Started as a Drift Spec, before the previous owner spent far too much money on upgrades! Have replaced the front diff, and replaced all the electronics with nicer stuff.
So many stupid issues:
- Brushless motors don't all fit properly, because of the motor guard, so had to remove the guard, install a motor, and then see if the guard could be put back on... and then keep checking until I found a match.
- First motor I found that fit had short motor wires and a couple of dodgy screw holes.... so the one I needed to use to get the setup to work was stripped... so had to find another motor!
- Installed this 6.5T Novak motor, then found that I couldn't get a pinion mesh with the installed spur gear - and the only wayt tehy were going to mesh properly was with a dinner plate pinion (on a 6.5T? No thanks!)
- Found these originally came with a 64DP spur.... which I didn't have a spare, to replace the small 48DP fitted.
- Fitted a larger 48DP spur, but it was too big for the space, and rubbed on the chassis!
- Finally fitted an 81T spur, and a 27T pinion. Might still be too big on the pinion side, but at least I have mesh.
Next up, anchor the ESC, mount a receiver, and test it out! Wish me luck!
