I had a front wheel bearing go on my cyber in its second meeting. I have changed all the bearings on my cyber and now run the Edit D4 bearing set, and since never had a problem.

Quick question, does the purple part (towards the front end) of the D4 WCE slipper clutch tend to loosen alot by itself?

Yes. I take it you mean the collar that tightens the slipper?

Put some thread lock on it to stop it loosening.

It still moves to tighten but doesn't loosen during a race.

LOL, the special version of the Cyber is the D4! lol

They have a nice orange alloy motor mount out for the Cyber now.
But it is fairly pricey. I think in total it comes to around £80ish for all the parts.

But other than that, unless he's an 'A team' he won't be getting any 'special parts' unless he's made them himself.

The Edit lightweight D4 diff and slipper parts will fit the Cyber too. Well worth the weight saving.

Anyone come across aluminum front and rear suspension mounts yet? Don't think HB's D4 fit, right?

Alloy suspension mounts?
Do you mean the front and rear hubs?

If so, the D4 ones will fit the rear, but the front hubs on the Cyber are different. You may be able to fit the whole D4 hubs on the front though, but the parts will not swap/interchange.

If you mean shock towers, then I'm unaware that anyone make any.

Hi telboy, am referring to this. The front and rear hubs fit perfectly

Btw, are the Yeah Racing Blue Telfon Bearings ok replacement to the original bearings that came with the kit?

Ah, ok, I see what you mean now.

Hmm. Not sure. If anyone has a D4 and they would like to try the rear toe-in block on the Cyber then that would help to see.
Personally I don't know if they will fit, as I've been happy with the kit versions.

If any I'd say that the rear one might fit, but I doubt the inboard ones would. but like I say, I haven't tried and haven't got a D4 to try it.

Providing they're a direct replacement set then I can't see why not.

A good afternoon to everyone,

Not normal for the screw at the top of the shock tower to bend, right?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you hit and how fast you were going. Better the screw bends than the shock or tower breaking!

Noted with thanks, sparrow.2

Changing them would be a good idea then (currently bent slightly)?

You can bend them back within reason but they will be more likely to break eventually.
