Adam - Any idea on the weight distribution on one of these? It looks quite far back, now I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just wondering.

I'll put it on the scales tomorrow.
Ran it back to back with the D4 last weekend. Lap times were very similar on a track that had seen times gradually slow. I ran the D4 at 1600g exactly. The Cyber was at 1640g (Heavier LiPo) was the only difference.

Managed to build up the internal (except for motor, ESC, servo, batts, etc). Am hoping for recommendations from the experts on what to get for an extreme noob like myself

Here's the data: Cyber 10B (TP4950 Lipo) Overall Mass : 1667g Front: 761g (45.7%) Rear: 906g (54.3%) Left: 883g Right:884g HB D4 WCE (TP3200 Saddle Lipo) With 95g between cells and 15g next to each battery post: (125g Total) Overall Mass: 1600g Front: 729g (45.6%) Rear: 871g (54.4%) Left: 800g Right: 800g About as close as you could get %age wise across the 2 cars. Although I guess with similar LiPo, the Cyber would be a tad more nose heavy.

I'll be running TP3200 LiPo in mine, so I guess we'll see how it goes.

Coolio, interesting stuff. Funny stuff this Lipo, I had assumed the stick pack in the X5 had moved our dist back, but when calced it hadn't at all.
Cheers dude.

Just curious... are all parts (Standard and Option) for the Brama and Cyclone D4 usable on the Cyber 10B?

As far as I am aware, the Cyber and the Brama are totally different chassis, and so would think that there are no transferable parts.
The Cyber and the D4 do share a lot of transmission and suspension parts though. |

Trakpower do really good LiPo packs and 'simples' to operate LiPo charger. They also don't break the bank. I use the 4900 TP LiPo. But even the 3200 will be plenty for you. Motor: Depending on abilty, I'd go for a 7.5T. If you a novice then maybe something even milder, like 10.5T or 8.5T. Servo's and radio's again are hugely budget dependant. There will be plenty on the oOple 'For Sale' section. Indeed, I have a very good KO servo up for grabs for £40. Radio: Best bit of advice, is try other peoples, see how they fit in your hands, if it isn't comfy, it isn't right. Not all radios fit everyone's hands. The Cyber did feel really good today. The D4 didn't get a look in, some damn truck killed it and it sat on the table sulking after that!

Technically that was Lawsons fault, though I'm not sure how

Thanks Adam for the advice. Here's what i got last night based on my budget.
1. Futaba 2PL controller. 2. Futaba MC330CR FET Speed Controller. 3. Tamiya Super Stock Motor TZ. 4. Batt and charger. Everything on the Cyber 10B is still standard and I guess will remain that way till I know more about what I'm doing

Adam, ever thought of this?:
Because since I had a new version shocktower on my D4 and I decided to hit a pole it did this:

Looks the same as what happened to my D4 at the weekend.
We did think about it, but then the more you strengthen a car 's weak points the more damage you seem to do to more expensive parts. A car needs 'weak' points. I have a tower that has the outer holes dremelled off it as I never use them, this seems to help reduce 'upside-down' snap moments. Head-ons: This is a dice-roller, somethign will break. TBH in the last year I think I did 2 towers and 2 gearbox tops. Not too bad for the amount of racing I did. It is a nice Idea and a solution to the problem. My only worry would be what breaks next

Just curious... for hop ups (e.g.: turnbuckles, shocks, Drivetrain, etc) is it a must to get only HPI and HB products?
