AFter 6 months of running, I have broken one diff screw. Thats it. Nothing else.

If you're gonna be running that spool you bought, you better get some decent driveshafts though. I've seen people go through a full set in a day.

Ahh, it was yours was it!
Any driveshaft recommendations fella?
Thanks

I've never broken any driveshafts yet (Aint that the kiss of death)

But I hear the MIP ones are pretty good

Any of the Hotbodies Version2 Alu driveshafts should be fine, these are included in the Hara/Surikarn cars, but not in the original black car.
If your taking very hard hits you may want to consider Version2 hd steel front driveshafts also.

If you are going to use the Version2 set on the standard black cyclone, you'll also need to use the larger Version2 1way output cups.

Another thing to take care of is that i dont think the V2 shafts will fit the very first Hotbodies spool (the black one) but will fit the current purple/blue ones, and will also fit the WCE spool out soon.
Im also not sure if the V2 stuff will fit the older black composite diff...

Stew,

Thanks for that post fella.
On the TSUK site you posted a while ago that you have a huuge list of things you need for the car. Any chance of you sending that to me at all fella?

Thanks

I just remembered I broke a servo saver as well. The purple alloy part that is threaded and the servo saver screws up and down it. I got hit lightly in the side and it just snapped the threaded part. Was a strange one though, I cant see that being a weak part on the car.

broken three things so far, one was the inside front driveshaft as i went into the first corner... it didnt like that kerb too much... :'( and also one unfortunate incident involving being sideswiped by two cars at the same time led to a shattered servo and a broken shock mount on the upper diff housing... but just putting that broken part on the back of the car works fine, it still won a leg of last weeks a final :D
