New forum
I changed the BATLEY on road forum to a general on-road forum, and the Batley forums on here are now concentrated into a single forum for both classes.
I did already have a touring forum on here but ditched it because it wasn't popular - but I thought I would reintroduce it since I went racing tonight and had a good time. jimmy |

Quick review of the HB Cyclone S:
130 quid for a car without UJ or CVD in the front ? Broke a c-hub after 3 laps, lost a spacer when the dogbone flew out, put it all back together and didnt realise the dogbone was floating too much - kept popping in/out and ruined my nights racing. Handled nice but the XRay T2R looks a far better value car. even my old Yokomo mr4tc custom had UJ's in the front, and that was only 99quid! Last edited by jimmy; 07-01-2007 at 04:58 PM. |

Jim, you should try the Tamiya TA05, ok, the tyres are no good for racing, nor the shell (unless you get the NSX), but I think they are £110 in the UK, and if it copes with my driving..... only broke one part in over 18months of use, but 19t, slicks and additive, plus a very fast sweeper will mangle most cars, I sheared a kingpin.

I wasnt even going quick when the cyclone hub broke, but maybe it had a knock before which weakened it.. but the front drive shafts take the mick for 130 quid.
Not sure what the kit tyres were like as I bought some nosram things which seemed good. will look at getting something else when I get chance / money |

Jim, after a recent purchase, I may have most of the bits for a TA05 for you to have a bash at, if your interested?

yeah the car felt good considering ive not done anything to it and not raced a touring car for a couple of years or so. I pointed out the dogbones in the front earlier in the night, then surprise surprise that was the thing that scuppered things.
Now then, whats this TA05 you mention steve ? |
