CYCLONE D4 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION KIT
The Cyclone D4 was the surprise hit of 2007. When it was first announced, racers were unsure what to expect, however with the success of the Cyclone Touring Car, they knew the Cyclone D4 would be something special! At major off-road races around the world, it enjoyed great success and a swarm of spectators wherever it went, as racers were eager to see what this new electric 4WD buggy could do. At the 2007 IFMAR Off-Road Worlds, several option parts were used by the HB team drivers, including the drivers who made it into the A Final - the fastest electric 4WD buggy drivers in the world! The wide range of options throughout the car each had incremental updates and modifications that made the Cyclone D4 easier to drive and faster on the demanding Japanese off-road circuit. We are proud to announce the Cyclone D4 World Championship Edition Kit, which includes the base Cyclone D4 kit with all the options used by the team in Japan: * New Main Chassis - optimized weight balance * New Front & Rear Shock Towers - tougher and more crash-resistant * New Front & Rear Shocks - more consistent and easier to build * New Slipper Clutch design - easy to externally adjust slipper tightness * New Front Arms for extra strength * New Lower Wing Mounts for extra top speed The pictures below show the original Cyclone D4 car, plus close-up views of the latest features included with the World Championship Edition.

Why Shaft Drive? Hot Bodies designers had an important decision to make before getting started on the off-road platform: what kind of drivetrain would be best? While the belt-drive Cyclone touring car is certainly the best on-road 4WD racer there is, the designers weren't sure a belt drivetrain could properly deal with the rigors of off-road racing. Finally the decision was made for the shaft drive design for two main reasons: 1. The more direct response of a shaft drive system gives competitive Off Road racers the extra control they need. In Off-Road racing, throttle response on rough terrain or in the air is much more important for controlling the car than in an on-road environment. 2. Using a shaft drive train, meant our designers could ensure a sealed drivetrain that would be protected against the elements and be more reliable over bumps and through the ruts and therefore deliver a higher efficiency. One word about torque steer: This is an issue in on-road cars with their narrower track, smaller tyres and shorter suspensions. In Off-Road cars, however, the mass of the tyres is much higher and the suspension is much wider. Therefore the force created by the rotating shafts is insignificant in relation. Bottom line torque steer is not an issue at all and the advantages of the shaft drive make it the superior system for Off-Road. * Faster response & acceleration than belt drive * Superior mid-air control * Sealed drive train * Low friction components * Not affected by torque steer CHASSIS Double Deck Design The Cyclone D4 WCE features improved weight distribution for better balance, even greater mid-air control over the jumps and lower lap times for racers. It's hard to improve on one of the fastest kits we make, but our designers have pulled it out again! The foundation of the Cyclone D4 is its sturdy double-deck chassis. Made from woven graphite because of its low weight and high strength, the lower chassis is 2.5mm thick and the front and rear upper chassis pieces are each 2.5mm thick. Connecting the upper and lower chassis are the front and rear moulded composite gearboxes and the aluminium motor mount/middle bulkhead. To make sure the chassis is extra-stiff and allows the suspension to do the work it's designed to do, the upper decks are held in place with a total of 11 flat head countersunk screws. The screws are arranged in a fully symmetrical pattern to minimise the effects of tweak on the suspension. Finally, a unique fan mount is included to help keep your motor cool in the toughest of conditions. * WC Edition features improved weight balance * Super stiff double deck layout * Strong light woven graphite * Fully symmetrical to minimize tweak Prepared for the Latest Electronics The lower chassis is as narrow as possible to place the weight as close to the center line of the car as possible. This improves the speed of weigh transfer for faster cornering. Because of the clean layout there is enough room to easily fit any current electronics package, whether brushless or standard brushed system. The motor fits into a large cooling cutout on the main chassis to allow it to get plenty of air, and to let it sit as low as possible in the chassis. Fitting the batteries is very easy, too! The saddle pack style arrangement makes sure you get equal weight distribution and the moulded battery trays allow mounting the battery in two positions, all the way to the rear or slightly forward. This lets you tune the weight balance of the D4 for extra rear traction or more steering. Convenient straps hold the battery in place securely and allow you to quickly install and remove the batteries simply by removing body clips. * Adjustable saddle pack layout for perfect weight distribution * Takes all the latest bushed or brushless systems * Motor cut out for low motor position and exra cooling * Everything mounted directly on the lower chassis for low center of gravity Hardware Keeping everything in place on the chassis are high quality Japanese-made hex head steel screws. The high grade steel resists breaking and the precision cutting ensures the screws tap the carbon plastic properly, letting you go through rebuilds without wearing the threads out. All the screws feature a hex head which looks great and makes the car much easier to work on. The standard steel ball ends are heavy duty and feature long threaded shafts to allow infinite adjustments with a selection on aluminium shims. Cool purple anodized light weight shims are used throughout for camber link, bump steer and Ackermann adjustments. * Hex head screws * Steel ball ends * Aluminium anodized shims SUSPENSION New front and rear shock towers are supplied in the Cyclone D4 WCE kit, featuring extra material around the mounting screws and a new button head screw design for the front shock tower to improve durability and crash resistance. From the one-piece aluminium front suspension bulkhead to the Infinite Roll Centre adjustments, you'll surely appreciate the effort that went into the suspension design of the D4. In particular, the front end of an off-road racer has to deal with quite a lot - from pointing the car in the right direction, to powering the car through the middle of a tight turn, and even correcting the angle of the car in mid-air, there are many jobs it's entrusted to do, and it must do them all very well if the car is going to be a success! This is why Hot Bodies engineers spent as long as they could perfecting the design of the front suspension, to make sure everything was correct and is ready to go right out of the box for today's advanced racing drivers. Shocks The Cyclone D4 WCE features all-new shock absorbers, designed to be easier to assemble and maintain. With easy bleeding options and improved upper and lower shock caps, you can rebuild the shocks faster and they will also be more consistent while lasting longer between rebuilds. All the metal hardware is hard-anodized for durability. Our designers spent a long time getting the shocks in perfect order for high-level off-road racing. The hard-anodized 7075 shock bodies are very tough, made from the strongest aluminium alloy used in RC today. Each shock body is also threaded for infinite ride height adjustment. The fine pitch of the thread allows you to make extremely small adjustments so you get the perfect ride height for any track you race on! Knurled shock collars allow you to get a good grip for easy adjustments and o-rings in the collars prevent any unwanted movement. The top and bottom of each shock are enclosed with threaded aluminium caps. The top shock cap secures the mount in position, while the bottom shock cap contains a double o-ring shaft seal. Aluminium is used for the bottom cap for increased durability, lower maintenance and ease of rebuilding. However you prefer to fill your shocks, from the top or from the bottom these shocks can accommodate you! To prevent leakage both caps feature an o-ring seal. For easy assembly the kit includes a set of tailor-made shock building tools for the top and bottom caps. Each shock shaft is made from tough stainless steel, and feature threads at both ends - at the top to hold the shock pistons in place and at the bottom to attach the bottom shock mount. For ultra fine tuning of the damping characteristics you get three different shock pistons with the kit. If this isn't enough for you there is also a set of blank pistons to drill your own piston holes! Ride height limiters are included with the kit as well, allowing you to fine-tune the suspension to your exact driving style, track conditions and particular needs. * WC Edition features new hard-anodized shock bodies and hardware * New improved upper and lower shock caps with bleed screw * Hard anodized threaded shock bodies * Top and bottom threaded caps * Aluminium shaft seal cartridge Springs The D4 comes with HB black off-road springs as standard, which are the softer option of three different spring rates that are available for the car. Each spring is precisely tuned for off-road racing and features ground-flat ends, an all-black finish for stealthy good looks and identifying paint marks at one end. * Ground flat ends * Colour coded * Three grades available Optimized Geometry In months of extensive track testing our HB race team and engineers have developed what we think is the finest off-road suspension geometry available today: wide track suspension arms, inverse steering block design, vertical ball end placement and of course full adjustability to name just a few highlights. Suspension Mounts The front lower suspension arms are mounted to a one-piece aluminium bulkhead which directly bolts to the chassis. The rear lower suspension arms are mounted to independently adjustable aluminium pivot blocks. With the suspension components attached to the chassis independently of the gearboxes and other parts, you can be sure that the suspension does all the work of absorbing landings and keeping the tyres on the ground. No forces are transferred from the suspension to the drive train or vice versa. * One piece aluminium front bulkhead * Rear aluminium pivot blocks Hinge Pins The new front bumper is wider to protect the hinge pins, and securely encloses the mounts for the new front sway bar. All hinge pins are made from durable stainless steel and are held in place without e-clips, making removal of critical suspension parts easy and quick. Rubber bushings in the front bulkhead and rear pivot blocks hold the hinge pins in place and absorb shocks that might otherwise bend the pins or break other parts of the suspension. Set screws hold the outer hinge pins in place, completing the 'No e-clip' suspension design and making the car overall easier to work on than other designs. * WC Edition features new wider bumper to protect front hinge pins * Stainless steel * No e-clips * Rubber bushings Suspension Arms The Cyclone D4 WCE front arms have extra material added to withstand crashes, bad traffic and rough landings. A ball attachment for the new front swaybar is included on the front arms for easy attachment. Front and rear wishbones feature a sleek aerodynamic design with integrated webbing to make them extra strong. The carbon-reinforced composite plastic makes them stiff and resists twisting. The V-shape design of the rear wishbones increases stiffness even further and allows the usage of longer stroke shocks. * WC Edition features additional material and sway bar mount ball on front arms * Carbon-reinforced composite * Rear V-shape Inverse Steering Block Design The D4 steering blocks are a marvel of simplicity and design brilliance in their own right. The steering knuckles go around the uprights instead sitting inside a large C-hub as in a conventional design.This "inverse" design allows the use of much more compact, simple, straight forward parts which makes the steering more precise and the construction more durable. Providing the maximum amount of drivetrain efficiency while the suspension is compressed or when the front wheels are steering at extreme angles, Cyclone D4 engineers made sure that the steering kingpin and the universal joint line up exactly. This reduces stress on the universal joints and gives you increased driving feedback as you go through a turn. The huge openings in the uprights for the driveshafts make sure nothing gets in the way of the shafts or the universal joints * Inverse design * Compact and durable * Aligned king pin and universal joint Adjustability The one-piece aluminium front suspension bulkhead features built-in 7.5 degrees of kick-up. The rear anti-squat is adjustable with the two independent hinge pin pivot blocks. Placing aluminium shims under blocks varies the anti-squad angle to keep all the power on the ground. Variable caster is provided by the 7 or 10 degree (both included) front caster blocks, and allows you to select the right amount for your driving style. More front caster generates more initial steering into the corner but less steering out of the corner. Front toe is easily adjustable using the titanium steering turnbuckles. Rear Toe in is set at three degrees at the pivot blocks as standard. It is also adjustable through the use of sturdy optional pivot blocks and/or rear hubs. Using the Cyclone Infinite Roll Centre (IRC) adjustments, you'll be able to swiftly and conveniently control your roll centre front and rear. Long ball studs hold the camber ball links in place, and washers are used under the ball studs to raise or lower them as needed for each particular track. The D4 features 2 inner and 1 outer camber link location at the front, and 1 inner and 2 outer locations for the rear. The combination of adjustable inner and outer mounting points allows extra fine adjustments. The wheel base can be adjusted simply by using shims on the outer rear hinge pin to change the position of the rear hub. Shock Mounting Locations Four holes in the front shock tower and two holes in the suspension arm allow you a big range of possibly shock angles for easy tuning to any track. Both front and rear shock towers are made from ultra-stiff 3.3mm woven graphite for supreme stiffness and maximum strength! Rear Swaybar The rear arms feature attachment points for a swaybar. A firm silver sway bar comes as standard with the kit and an optional softer swaybar is available. Steering All the power that you can get from your Cyclone D4 won't mean a thing if you can't control it - which is why the D4's steering system is designed for ultimate control and response. The heavy-duty steering system features a huge range of adjustments and standard features. The steering bellcranks are firmly attached between the upper and lower chassis pieces for solid control and rigidity. Riding on four ball bearings, the steering system allows you to experience full control and extreme precision. An adjustable servo saver is built-in to protect your steering servo from bad landings and rough crashes. The steering servo is securely held in place with four screws directly on the lower chassis. With the unique Cyclone Infinite Ackerman Steering (CIAS), you'll find that advanced steering tuning is easier than ever, giving you precise control over your cornering angles and power. The steering rack uses thick, heavy-duty ball cups and titanium turnbuckles to connect to the steering arms. You'll no doubt find that the D4 steering system is unique to off-road racers and features everything the expert-level racer requires for maximum control and racing accuracy. Suspension and Steering Links All suspension and steering links are made of super light purple anodized titanium turnbuckles and heavy duty oversized ball cups. Together they form a strong and easy to adjust unit. The oversized ball cups ensure the turnbuckles have plenty of grip from the long threads and won't strip out or change the settings in crashes or heavy landings. Finally, the precise ball cup shape provides smooth suspension action with a minimum of friction and play. * Kick up * Camber * Caster * Front Toe * Rear Toe (inner and outer) * Roll Center * Wheel Base * Ackerman * Ride height * Battery Position * Bump Steer * Shock Positions * Shock Oil/Pistons * Springs * Swaybar DRIVETRAIN Middel Bulkhead We've already gone over why HB designers chose shaft drive over belt, but now we'll get further into the details! The centrepiece of the drivetrain is the aluminium middle bulkhead. It is a 3-piece design consisting of the front half including the motor mount, the rear half and an interlocking top brace, all made from slick, black anodized aluminium. The motor shaft and centre driveshafts are perfectly parallel giving the D4 amazing drivetrain efficiency and low noise. The aluminium top brace is held in place with four hex head screws allowing extremely easy slipper clutch adjustments and maintenance. The tough spur gear is 48dp fine pitch for efficient power transfer. A wide range of optional pinion gears is available to fine tune the gear ratio. * Strong anodized aluminium * 3-piece design * Easy slipper access Slipper Clutch The slipper clutch in the Cyclone D4 WCE has been heavily modified to allow external adjustment of the slipper action without having to remove the slipper clutch from the chassis. Simply access the clutch through the upper deck and you're off! The adjustable centre slipper clutch controls the application of power on low-traction off- road surfaces. Controlled and adjustable spinning of the slipper clutch instead of excessive wheel spin gives you more control and improved acceleration. The dual slipper pads are made from a proprietary long-life material for a consistent and smooth slipper action and long lifetime. The whole slipper assembly sits on strong steel outdrives which spin the centre drive shafts. * WC Edition features all-new slipper design with external adjustment and new front centre shaft * Adjustable traction control * Dual pad design Centre Drive Shafts The two front and rear centre drive shafts are made from extra-thick purple aluminium to keep the rotating mass low while maintaining strength. In the slipper out drives steel pins are used for the dogbone end to increase durability and resist wear. Going into the gearbox, universal joints connect the centre drive shaft to the internal bevel gears. Inside each gearbox, a pinion gear spins a ring gear attached to ball diff. The internal gears are also completely new and designed just for the D4! * Universal joints * Thick anodized aluminium Gearboxes The front and rear gearboxes and drive gears are a completely new design for the Cyclone D4 and are not re-used from any previous kit. Moulded from tough carbon composite plastic, each gearbox top and bottom features a tough structure of internal webbing to make them extra-strong to resist damage from crashes and big jumps. The lower gearbox halves attach solidly to the main chassis and seal perfectly with the upper gearbox halves to provide a dirt-proof seal which protects the gears from any damage. The shock towers and upper decks connect to the upper gearbox halves, making them a strong and vital part of the chassis! The gearboxes are not connected to the lower suspension arms at all, so they will not be affected by crashes or big jumps. * carbon composite * internal webbing * dirt-proof seal * independent from lower suspension mounts Ball Differentials The ball diffs are interchangeable front and rear which keeps your spare parts count low, and feature carbide diff and thrust balls. This will give very smooth and consistent diff action which is essential for good cornering performance. The carbide material also increases the time between rebuilds. Strong steel outdrives can handle all the power of a low-turn modified motors! The diffs are also externally adjustable by simply popping off a camber link and using a hex wrench. * Carbide balls * Steel outdrives * Externally adjustable Universal Driveshafts Getting the power from the diffs to each wheel are state of the art steel universal dogbones and axles, featuring the Hot Bodies logo laser-etched on each dogbone! Once again, steel pins are used for the dogbone end to resist wear. * Low friction * Durable Ball Bearings Everything spins on 22 precision ball bearings for the best drivetrain efficiency and no loss of power! The ball bearings are efficiently placed, with large diameter bearings on the slipper clutch and each diff, and small diameter bearings at each corner for less unsprung weight. * Fully ball raced * Rubber sealed * Efficiently placed Hex Hubs With the multitude of off-road wheels available now, Hot Bodies designers knew that making the D4 able to fit a variety of the most popular wheels would help make it a popular choice for experienced racers. That is why the D4 features 12mm hexes at the front and rear to not only take the new D4 dish wheels but also a wide range of 3rd party rims. The front hexes are made from steel and are extra thin with the pin sitting on the outside of the hex preventing the hex and pin from falling off without a wheel attached. The rear hexes made from aluminium and are clamp-style which again holds the hex precisely and securely in place. The use of aluminium hexes instead of a simple pin allows you to fully tighten the wheel nuts without fear of binding or crushing the bearings. This guarantees a free-spinning drivetrain. You'll also notice that your wheels will last longer! * Precise wheel fitting * Compatible with 3rd party wheels Wheels The HB dish wheels are a one-piece solid design with an aerodynamic shape for increased strength and less chance of getting dirt stuck in the wheels. With a 2.2-inch standard size, any 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear tyres will fit. No tyres are included so you can choose the ideal tyres for your local track. So you don't have to pay extra for something you don't want or need. * Strong one piece design * Lightweight * Aerodynamic dish design Wheel Compatability For the front smaller 10mm hexes to fit Losi wheels are available as options parts. At the rear Losi and Associated wheels will fit by simply removing the hex hub - just right for the 2WD racer who wants to give 4WD a try but doesn't want to buy a selection of new rear tyres! Going the other way, you'll be able to also fit HB rear wheels to any Losi or Associated 2WD buggy by simply adding the clamp-on hex hubs. * Losi front 4WD * Losi and Associated rear 2WD Bodyshell The bodyshell of the D4 features a sleek yet high-downforce shape that is designed to maximise aerodynamic efficiency for performance and speed. The ultra-narrow chassis shape is enhanced by the form-fitting bodyshell that fits snugly around the lower chassis. The narrow cockpit shape lets as much air as possible flow to the rear of the bodyshell, as it goes over the high-angle spoiler just before the rear shock tower and wing. Durable wing mounts hold the wide rear wing in place high above the body, and also help prevent damage to the shock tower in rollover crashes. A front wing is included that attaches to the front shock tower for those times you need some extra front end grip. Protecting the bottom of the woven graphite chassis is a polycarbonate undertray which fits perfectly inside the Cyclone D4 bodyshell. The undertray slots into the front bumper and then uses a unique cam attachment to hold securely onto the main chassis. No tape needed, so no fuss! Keeping your electronics clean and free of any moisture is definitely an important consideration in off-road racing these days, and HB designers found that this was the best way to do it! For those hot days of summer racing when the temperatures rise, the front cooling ducts can be opened up to allow fresh air to circulate over the motor, speedo and batteries. To let extra air out, the vents directly over the batteries can be cut out to release hot air. * WC Edition features improved, lower rear wing mounts for extra top speed and durability * Narrow for supreme aerodynamics * High downforce * Smooth undertray * Cooling intakes and vents The Cyclone D4.

The small layshaft pulleys and large diff pulleys combine to make the Cyclone one of the most efficient touring cars available today. It was also proven to be the most efficient drivetrain at the World Championship, European Championship, German Nationals and US Nationals.2.4375:1 drive ratio for today's motors Pulley and belt combination make a supremely efficient drivetrain 64 pitch spur gear and pinionCentral Motor Position The motor attaches to the middle bulkhead, which allows the motor and spur gear to be closer to the centre of the car than any other competition touring car. With its extremely low motor mount position and low mounting position of the layshaft, the drivetrain enhances the driving feel of the car and gives you ultimate control and stability.As close to centre line of car as possible Extremely low center of gravity 64-pitch spur gear for high efficiencyTough Layshaft and Drive Pulleys The layshaft is machined from high strength steel for durability and to directly power transfer from spur to the 16-tooth layshaft pulleys. Solid pulleys are included in the kit, and optional one-way centre pulleys are also available. The 16-tooth layshaft pulleys are light and small for lower rotating mass and faster acceleration.Machined from steel 16T solid pulleys Can fit 18T pulleys or one-way pulleys for additional efficiency and tuning Dual unequal length belt drive The centrepiece of the drivetrain, the dual belts are made with a specialised rubber compound and are reinforced with aramid fibre, the same material used to make body armour and flame-resistant clothing. The belts are ultra-strong to protect them from the demands of high-revving motors and brutal driving conditions. Cams in the bulkeads allow each belt to be tightened independently of the other, so you This allows the dual belt drivetrain to work at full efficiency, for maximum power transfer and control under braking at all times.Dual unequal length belt drive Reinforced rubber teeth Dual cam tensionersFront and rear adjustable ball differentials Front and rear differentials are included for a full range of tuning possibilities on all track surfaces. Each diff is mounted on large-diameter metal-shielded bearings in cam-shaped bearing mounts. Durable steel diff and thrust balls are used for an extremely smooth feel and durability. The plastic outdrives are very durable and lightweight and feature a metal retaining ring for extra durability. Both diffs are externally adjustable as well; simply remove a camber link and adjust the thrust screw with a hex wrench. The diffs are also interchangeable front to rear so the need to carry spare parts is lessened. For increased durability, use the Edit RC Titanium Diff Screw #ED050010.Front and rear differentials included Steel outdrives for enhanced durability Externally adjustableFull set of Ball Bearings To have a truly efficient drivetrain, any racing car needs a high quality set of ball bearings. The Cyclone S uses the same number and type of bearings as the Moore-speed Cyclone World Championship Edition uses: 20 metal shielded bearings throughout its drivetrain, from the layshaft to the axles provide maximum efficiency and precision. Two additional bearings are used in the steering post.20 in total (18 in drivetrain, 2 in steering) Metal shielded High efficiency & precisionSuspension Stiff chassis - Starting Point for a Great Race Car The foundation of a good racing car is a stiff chassis. This is why full-size race cars use super-stiff monocoque chassis designs, letting the suspension do its job properly. A stiff chassis allows consistent dampening at all points on a track, whether deep into a hairpin or driving hard out of a flat-out sweeper. Complementing the overall chassis design are the symmetrical top deck mounting points, which practically eliminates the chances and effects of tweak on the car after hard crashes on the track.Very stiff to allow suspension to fully work Symmetrical design to help eliminate tweakIndependent suspension mounts Another critical factor in the superior design of the Cyclone suspension is that the lower suspension mounts are mounted totally independent of the bulkheads. This means that the wishbones, which are the parts of the suspension most exposed to crash damage, will not affect the drivetrain at all if they are damaged. Not only does this keep repair costs down and reduce maintenance time, this also prevents damage to the drivetrain parts.Mounted to chassis separate from bulkheads Doesn't allow chassis to compensate for bad suspension settings Slop-free with easy movementRace-optimized geometry After many months of testing with World Championship-winning drivers, the designers of the Cyclone perfected the suspension settings of the car to allow it to work for any style of driving, on any track in the world. This unique technology is also present in the adjustable suspension geometry of the Cyclone S. Part of this optimized suspension geometry comes from the infinite roll centre adjustments, which dramatically affects the actions of the car as it brakes, enters a corner and exits the corner to accelerate away. Using shims of several different thicknesses allows you to truly fine-tune the front and rear roll centre of the car to achieve perfect balance and neutral handling.Optimized for rubber tyre racing Ideal design to allow you to have a base setupUltra-low centre of gravity Central to the excellent handling of the Cyclone is its extra-low centre of gravity, or CG. Having a low CG allows race cars to corner precisely, without excess body roll or delay. A high-CG car in a turn will take time for its central mass to move in relation to the road, making it slower when it matters most â€" in the corners! The Cyclone’s chassis setup allows every element of the car to mount on the lower chassis, ensuring you have a low CG and fantastic handling. Even the motor gets a full-size cutout for it to slide into. The bottom of the motor actually hangs just slightly below the upper surface of the main chassis, giving you an ultra-low centre of gravity!All electronics fit on lower chassis Motor fits into cooling cutout Turnbuckles and ball cups For maximum adjustability, the Cyclone S uses a full set of tough steel turnbuckles. Infinitely adjustable with the handy wrench included with the kit, each turnbuckle is fitted with a long-shank, heavy-duty self-lubricating ball cup at each end. A special molybdenum plastic material is used to make the ball cups, which provides the exact right amount of lubrication to keep the ball cup action smooth in all conditions.Tough steel turnbuckles Self-lubricating molybdenum heavy duty ball cups Wishbones, uprights and hubs The plastics used on the Cyclone touring cars consists of some of the most advanced composite plastics in the world, and is certainly the highest-spec plastic used in the RC car industry. Mixing specific amounts of carbon fibres with unique solid plastics known only to Hot Bodies engineers, our racing team has developed a secure, tough, long-lasting, resilient and stiff set of lower suspension arms, front uprights, steering knuckles and rear hubs that are precise enough for World Champions yet strong enough for new racers.Carbon fibre, injection-moulded composite construction Special high-traction suspension arms used for Cyclone SSuspension The Cyclone's suspension set new standards for adjustability when it was released.

The Cyclone S Drift main chassis and upper deck take their basic design from the World Championship-winning Cyclone touring car! While the woven graphite chassis of the Cyclone Moore-speed World Champion Edition are super-stiff for racing on carpet and high traction asphalt, the slight flex inherent in the plastic main chassis and upper deck of the Cyclone S make it ideal for racing on lower grip surfaces like indoor carpet racing clubs, car park tarmac and outdoor club tracks that aren't meticulously maintained.Super stiff double deck layout Strong and light composite plastic Fully symmetrical to minimize tweakFits Any Type of Electrical Package The main chassis of the Cyclone S Drift allows racers to fit in any type of electronics system. Today’s brushless motors and speed controls are slightly larger than their brushed cousins, however the Cyclone S Drift can fit any combination of electronics for maximum versatility. You can get any combination of battery, speedo and motor for huge horsepower and maximum drift attack points!Fits brushless and brushed electronics systems Easy standard and compact servo fitting Everything mounts on lower chassis for supremely low centre of gravityBumpers Protecting the front end of the car from high speed impacts, a high impact nylon lower bumper keeps the hardest of shocks from reaching the chassis and suspension. A thick closed-cell foam impact bumper supports the bodyshell at top speed and also helps to protect the front suspension from damage. Completing the front protection is the upper woven carbon fibre brace, which securely holds foam bumper in place in all conditions. At the rear, a strong nylon bumper protects the suspension from rear-end crashes.High impact nylon lower bumper Thick closed-cell foam impact bumper Upper woven carbon fibre braceStrong Hardware With tough Japanese-made industrial steel hex screws, racers can be sure that even the screws and washers that come with the Cyclone S kit can stand up to the abuse and wear of racing, week after week. Strong hex screw heads resist stripping and allow you to make maintenance chores go quickly and with minimum fuss.Hex head screws Steel ball ends Aluminium anodized shims Drivetrain Efficiency The Cyclone uses a 2.4375 to 1 drive ratio, which is perfect for modern high-revving motors. The small layshaft pulleys and large diff pulleys combine to make the Cyclone one of the most efficient touring cars available today. It was also proven to be the most efficient drivetrain at the World Championship, European Championship, German Nationals and US Nationals.2.4375:1 drive ratio for today's motors Pulley and belt combination make a supremely efficient drivetrain 64 pitch spur gear and pinionCentral Motor Position The motor attaches to the middle bulkhead, which allows the motor and spur gear to be closer to the centre of the car than any other competition touring car. With its extremely low motor mount position and low mounting position of the layshaft, the drivetrain enhances the driving feel of the car and gives you ultimate control and stability.As close to centre line of car as possible Extremely low center of gravity 64-pitch spur gear for high efficiencyTough Layshaft and Drive Pulleys The layshaft is machined from high strength steel for durability and to directly power transfer from spur to the 16-tooth layshaft pulleys. Solid pulleys are included in the kit, and optional one-way centre pulleys are also available. The 16-tooth layshaft pulleys are light and small for lower rotating mass and faster acceleration.Machined from steel 16T solid pulleys Can fit 18T pulleys or one-way pulleys for additional efficiency and tuning Dual unequal length belt drive The centrepiece of the drivetrain, the dual belts are made with a specialised rubber compound and are reinforced with aramid fibre, the same material used to make body armour and flame-resistant clothing. The belts are ultra-strong to protect them from the demands of high-revving motors and brutal driving conditions. Cams in the bulkeads allow each belt to be tightened independently of the other, so you This allows the dual belt drivetrain to work at full efficiency, for maximum power transfer and control under braking at all times.Dual unequal length belt drive Reinforced rubber teeth Dual cam tensionersFront and rear adjustable ball differentials Front and rear differentials are included for a full range of tuning possibilities on all track surfaces. Each diff is mounted on large-diameter metal-shielded bearings in cam-shaped bearing mounts. Durable steel diff and thrust balls are used for an extremely smooth feel and durability. The plastic outdrives are very durable and lightweight and feature a metal retaining ring for extra durability. Both diffs are externally adjustable as well; simply remove a camber link and adjust the thrust screw with a hex wrench.

HB 12X KIT
The Updated 12X Circuit Racer Introducing the latest version of the European Championship-winning Cyclone 12, the 12X! This car is the the result of Andy Moore, Atsushi Hara and the rest of the worldwide Hot Bodies team racing and refining the 2007 & 2008 European Champion Cyclone 12 and turning it into an even better circuit racer! With several all-new parts and many option parts now as standard, the 12X will be the car to beat at clubs and tracks around the world! FRESH RACING UPDATES The 12X features improved parts to make racing tighter, faster, more reliable and stronger! With a number of updates to the front suspension, you will experience great on-track handling as you carve the turns! At the rear, a new one-piece graphite axle replaces the older aluminium axle, plus a new left wheel hub clamp provides easier access to the new ride height mount adapters! We didn't make changes just for the sake of it, however - several of the key components of the Cyclone 12 are carried over to the 12X. We've only improved what racers would appreciate and the track-tested components and ideas implemented by Team Hot Bodies! NEW FRONT SUSPENSION PARTS The front of the 12X is where we made the most changes to the car - they may be hard to spot, but what we have updated will make a huge difference on the track. The basic layout of the 12X front suspension is identical to the Cyclone 12, it's just a few critical parts that are new. The 3-way reactive caster suspension is still in place, with convenient clips to adjust the caster angle. Metal locknuts hold the wheels in place for a secure fit. The hingepin and the kingpin are now the #61223 and #61224 pieces with ultra-hard titanium nitride coating, which is extremely durable and smooth - this is the same coating on the best drill bits you can find, so you know it's extra-tough! The 12X is also equipped with graphite lower suspension arms (#66265), which are lightweight and extremely strong. These arms feature an adjustable ball clamp so you can eliminate slop in the steering, which is critical in 1/12th circuit racing. The newly designed steering knuckles (included with #66265) allow you to get a lower ride height and are also easier to fit the new-style axles (#66266) to. Finally, the new FRP cross brace (#66267) gives you extra steering feel on the track so you can feel more confident on tight and twisty club circuits. For extra front end stiffness you can use the optional #61673 woven graphite front brace instead of the standard FRP version. Option springs for tuning are the #61696 0.45mm/5 coil soft spring and the #61699 0.55mm/5 coil hard spring. NEW REAR AXLE The new rear axle (#66261) is also a completely new design made specifically for the Cyclone 12. It utilises a unique two-piece aluminium design that makes replacing worn or bent parts very easy. The axle is extremely lightweight due to its material and the design of the left and right hubs, and provides direct, efficient transfer of power to the rear wheels. NEW T-BAR MOUNT New for the T-bar is an aluminium mount (#66268) that allows you to fix the front of the fibreglass T-bar solidly in place, or let it float freely on specially coated pivot balls. This allows extra suspension feel and traction in all situations when combined with the Cyclone 12 Micro Shock Absorber. The T-bar features 3 separate tweak screw locations for a huge range of adjustability, and two pivot mounts for secure and reliable performance. A woven graphite damper bar secures the rear body posts, battery straps and the damper pads, which control the amount pod action. NEW REAR WHEEL HUBS Also new on the rear axle is a new left wheel hub (#66262), which features a simple clamping mechanism, extremely light weight, secure 3-bolt mounting for all popular wheel types and great looks. It allows you to 'set and forget' the rear hubs in place without worrying about anything changing during your racing day. SIMPLE SERVO MOUNT A micro-size servo is held in place with dual posts, angled for perfect steering geometry. Unique Option Mount An option for the 12X is the most unique servo mount ever seen on an electric car: the #61645 Cyclone Centre Servo Mount System. To prevent left and right chassis tweak, the servo is mounted exactly in the middle of the chassis using the Hot Bodies Centre Servo Mount. This superb mounting system mounts the servo as low in the chassis as a standard two-piece mount, yet uses a single central mount to attach to the chassis. This gives the driver unparalleled consistency when going through turns, and a distinct advantage over any other chassis design. HINGED BATTERY HOLDER Securing the batteries in place is a one-of-a-kind 'no tools needed' battery strap system that is unique to any RC racing car. The Cyclone 12 uses battery trays and hinged straps to provide you with safe and strong battery security. The battery trays help secure the batteries in place, and allow easy changes of weight distribution forward and backward by simply flipping them 180 degrees. The strap system makes it fast and simple to take out and replace your batteries - no more messing about with sticky and messy tape, no tools to use, and just like the 12x, it's fast! WOVEN GRAPHITE CHASSIS The all-black chassis is set off with just a few selected bits of purple anodized aluminium to give it an ultra-cool sleek racing look. The main chassis is cut from a single sheet of lightweight & stiff 2mm thick woven carbon fibre and has cut-outs for reduced weight at the front end. A wide front bumper is supplied with the kit but is not shown inthese exclusive prototype pictures. The optional #61671 2.5mm main chassis is still available for use on extremely high-grip surfaces. TOURING CAR STYLE SHOCK ABSORBER The rear suspension uses an exclusive micro shock that is designed and assembled just like a modern touring car damper - a rubber bladder fits over the top and the bottom cartridge utilises an o-ring seal. The threaded aluminium body also uses screw-on aluminium top and bottom caps to keep everything in place. For extra smoothness and durability, as standard it is now fitted with the #61228 titanium nitride coated shock shaft, for extra smoothness and reduced maintenance. Option springs for tuning are the #61361 0.9mm/7.5 coil soft spring and the #61362 0.9mm/5.5 coil hard spring. REAR POD In the rear, the motor pod is made up of two aluminium sides, carbon fibre bottom brace, carbon fibre damper plate and a solid aluminium tube. This gives you a secure, stiff and reliable rear pod for mounting any type of racing motor. The motor is easy to access and remove from the top, and the pod is large enough to easily fit any brushed or brushless motor. With a large cutout on the left side, all motors are easy to install and remove. New for the 12X are redesigned axle ride height adapters (#61694), which allow you to alter the rear ride height of the car for minute handling changes. An option for the lower brace is the #61666 finned black aluminium replacement to aid motor cooling and increase rigidity of the rear pod. UNIQUE AERIAL MOUNT Another one-of-a-kind innovation from Team HB is the aerial mount. Setscrews can be used to keep the rollover aerial securely in position, preventing it from coming loose. PERFECT FIT WITH HB BODYSHELLS The 12X is ready to fit any of the range of Moore-speed 1/12th scale bodyshells that are available from Hot Bodies: #66832 908 bodyshell is an all-new, high-downforce closed-cockpit design that is ideal for most racers at nearly any track. It features ground-hugging aerodynamics with excellent straight-line stability and superb corner control. A lightweight versions is also available for anyone looking to shave excess grams off their car's weight: #66832LW is the part number you want! Also check out the other circuit racer bodyshells from HB: the #61730 C12 Mark-1 is ideal for very tight tracks with its high downforce design; the #61731 C12 Mark-2 is tuned for large, flowing tracks with its closed cockpit and low drag design; and the #61732 C12 Mark-3 is a great compromise between high downforce and low drag. For another high-downforce, closed cockpit design, check out the cool #66831 Raynard 02S racing bodyshell, also available in a lightweight version (#66831LW). TOP-CLASS PERFORMER The 12S has already shown itself to be a world-class competitive car, by claiming four spots in the A Final at the 2008-2009 IFMAR 1/12th scale World Championships in its debut race - more than ANY other manufacturer that was present! Our worldwide racing team is always at the forefront, pushing the boundaries of performance, expectation and ideals, with the 12X as one of their weapons of choice! Any one of the details we have outlined above gives you the advantage over any other racer, so you can have the confidence, technology and support to take the win - any place, any time! 2007 & 2008 European Champion One of our major claims with the Cyclone 12 is the fact that it stormed the 1/12th scale European Championship title in 2007 and 2008, winning in the hands of Andy Moore and Marc Rheinard, respectively. In the 2008 Championships the Cyclone 12 had a clean sweep of the podium, with Marc in first, Andy in second and Ronald Volker in third! Andy, Marc and Ronald are just three of our top drivers in Europe - there are many more racers that could take the championship trophy at any time. 2008 British Champion Although the European Championships are the top step and every racer's dream win, Team Hot Bodies also does great in National and regional competition as well. For example, winning the BRCA National Championship title is no fluke - in the hands of Andy Griffiths, a Hot Bodies 1/12th scale racer is a weapon to be feared! What this means to you is that when you race the 12X you know you have Team Hot Bodies behind you, supplying you with the best equipment, setup help and information. When you race a Hot Bodies car, you race with the team! #66260 12X 1/12th scale circuit racer kit with complete instruction manual Tyres are not included and are shown for illustration purposes only.

LIGHTNING STADIUM 2 PRO WITHOUT RADIO OR ENGINE
The Exciting Follow-Up to the Hugely Popular Pro-R! With the Hot Bodies Lightning Stadium 2 Pro, you can get all the latest racing truggy features in an updated and fresh and package! This is the ultimate 1/8th scale stadium truck racing kit! No track conditions are too tough for this awesome beast! The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro takes advantage of recent developments in truggy racing to give you all the advantages that add up to lower lap times and more podium finishes! The pre-assembled chassis is completely ready for your high-powered big-block racing engine and radio gear, so you can get off the workbench and out to the track fast! Chassis The chassis of the Lightning Stadium 2 Pro deserves special attention because the base chassis has been upgraded to 7075 T6 aircraft aluminium alloy. This specialist blend of aluminium is extremely lightweight compared to standard aluminium, plus it's very tough and resistant to bending and scratching as you race around the off-road circuit. To make the chassis even lighter, several areas of the upper surface of the chassis have been CNC machined to lighten the chassis further. Enhancing the already stiff nature of the 7075 T6 alloy, the sides of the chassis are bent up, and super-strong front and rear chassis braces provide a huge amount of fore-and-aft stiffness. The rear brace is made from extra thick carbon fibre, is keyed to the chassis for extra strength and attaches to the chassis with two widely spaced machined aluminium mounts. The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro is one of the stiffest stadium truck racing chassis available! The radio tray and middle bulkhead are made from carbon fibre to add extra rigidity and lower weight. The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro also uses a complete set of hex head screws for reliable and secure hardware. You get strip-free and tough hardware throughout! Included in the kit box is a full set of additional parts to get you rolling fast. You'll find a large foam air filter with a rubber 90-degree neck, a rear-exhaust exhaust manifold with gasket and mounting springs, and an aluminium tuned pipe to fit on any big-block engine from 3.5 to 4.6cc in size! Also included to fully outfit the Lightning Stadium 2 Pro for racing duty is a handy parts bag which includes: adjustable wing mounting hardware, ride height adjustment rings, a fitted splash guard, adjustable brake hardware, servo mounting hardware, silicone receiver switch cover, transponder mount and fuel tube routing clips! Drivetrain The power delivery of the Lightning Stadium 2 Pro is provided by the same 4WD shaft drivetrain used by the US National Champion Lightning 1/8th scale rallycross buggy. Shaft drive is the way to go when it comes to truggy racing, because it provides it's the most durable and most reliable drivetrain available. In rocky, dirty, wet and sandy conditions, the Lightning Stadium 2 Pro drivetrain cannot be beaten! The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro drivetrain features a bearing-equipped clutchbell, aluminium flywheel, 3-shoe clutch, steel spur gear, front and rear centre universal dogbones, spiral cut bevel gears, completely sealed planetary 4-gear diffs, tough steel outdrives, universal dogbones at all four corners, and a full complement of rubber-sealed ball bearings. Bringing everything to a fast and safe stop is a pair of cross-drilled steel disc brakes that are clamped with new one-piece calipers with specialised high-strength pads. The brake bias is independently adjustable to give you the best driving feel when you have to brake. The .21 big-block engine that you supply bolts to the chassis with machined billet heatsink engine mounts, which in turn are mounted to thick aluminium plates bolted into the chassis. This allows you to remove the engine and replace quickly without having to constantly adjust the gear mesh - just unbolt and go! The mounts will fit any engine from 3.5 to 4.6cc for monster horsepower! The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro features a complete set of universal dogbones to get the power from the engine and centre gearbox to all four wheels. These are highly efficient driveshafts with minimal backlash at any angle for fast throttle and brake response, so you get immediate response from the truck as you race around the track. Made from high-strength steel, the universals are very strong and stand up to the punishment of any big-block engine! To give you extra runtime and more fun on the track, the fuel tank is larger than previous Lightning Stadium trucks: 150cc instead of the 125cc of earlier models, so you can get in more laps before needing to pull into the pits! The internal baffles keep sloshing and fuel bubbles to a minimum and the integrated stone filter protect your engine's delicate internal bits. Suspension & Steering The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro is equipped with a fully-featured suspension design that combines extreme ruggedness and total adjustability to give you the ultimate stadium truck racing platform! Extra-long suspension arms and turnbuckles combine with long-stroke shock absorbers for lightweight & fast-acting suspension, perfect for great handling in all conditions! New composite plastic suspension arms replace the strong but heavy arms that were included with the Lighting Stadium Pro-R. These light but extremely durable arms are mounted to the chassis with all-new zero-degree aluminium hinge pin blocks and extremely tough carbon steel hinge pins. The factory-fitted shock absorbers are fully assembled and filled with oil right out of the box, so there's no need to take time to properly build and bleed the shocks - just bolt in your engine and install your radio gear and get to the track! The shock towers feature five shock mount points for a huge range of tuning options when combined with the two mount points on the suspension arms. The shocks use â€Â˜captured' rod ends on the arms so they will stay in place and are protected from crash damage. The shock mounts on the arms are also held in place with unique screws that use an anti-clockwise thread for the front right (FR) and rear left (RL) shocks, so the screws do not loosen during a race day or a long A Final. The front steering knuckles and rear hubs are also made from tough, chunky CNC-machined aluminium for extra toughness! The front universal joints are protected from rocks by the front uprights, and the rear uprights include mounting holes for optional mud scrapers for the inside of the wheels. The front and rear uprights use long screws with metal locking nuts to attach to the suspension arms for extra durability. Tough steel turnbuckles and thick rod ends complete the suspension tuning, and let you make quick trackside adjustments. Multiple camber link locations let you adjust the roll centre fast for noticeable handling changes on the track. The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro is also equipped with front and rear swaybars for total sure-footed traction and stability on all types of tracks. You get full confidence in your truck when it handles this well!

Servo Mount A micro-size servo is held in place with dual posts, angled for perfect steering geometry. - unique option mount An option for the Cyclone 12 will be the most unique servo mount ever seen on an electric car: the Cyclone Centre Servo Mount System. To prevent chassis tweak and provide absolutely equal flex left and right, the servo is mounted exactly in the middle of the chassis using the Hot Bodies Centre Servo Mount. This superb mounting system mounts the servo as low in the chassis as a standard two-piece mount, yet uses a single central mount to attach to the chassis. This gives the driver unparalleled consistency when going through turns, and a distinct advantage over any other chassis design. Finally, a Battery Holder That Works Securing the batteries in place is an unprecedented tool-less battery strap system that is new to any RC car of any scale. The Cyclone 12 uses battery trays and unique, never before seen hinged straps to provide you with safe and strong battery security. The strap system makes it fast and simple to take out and replace your batteries - no more messing about with sticky and messy tape, no tools to use, and best of all it's fast! New Micro Shock Absorber The rear suspension uses a totally new and exclusive micro shock that is designed and assembled just like a modern touring car damper - a rubber bladder fits over the top and the bottom cartridge utilises an o-ring seal. The threaded aluminium body also uses screw-on aluminium top and bottom caps to keep everything in place. Rear Suspension The rear suspension uses the Cyclone 12 Micro Shock Absorber combined with an adjustable fibreglass T-bar to give the Cyclone 12 unreal rear traction in the corners and off the starting line. The T-bar features 3 separate tweak screw locations for a wide range of adjustability, and two pivot mounts for secure and reliable performance. A woven graphite damper bar secures the rear body posts, battery straps and the damper pads, which control the amount pod action. Rear Pod In the rear, the motor pod is made up of two aluminium sides, carbon fibre bottom brace, carbon fibre damper plate and an aluminium tube. This gives you a secure, stiff and reliable rear pod for mounting the motor. The motor is easy to access and remove from the top, and the pod is large enough to easily fit any brushed or brushless motor. With a large cutout on the left side, all motors are easy to install and remove. An option for the lower brace will be a finned black aluminium replacement to aid motor cooling and increase rigidity of the rear pod. Rear Axle The rear axle is also a completely new design made specifically for the Cyclone 12. It utilises a unique two-piece aluminium design that makes replacing worn or bent parts very easy. The axle is extremely lightweight due to the design of the left and rear hubs, and provides direct, efficient transfer of power to the rear wheels. Top Performer All of this adds up to a top performer and a totally new car that is suitable for any 1/12th scale circuit racer. Each of these details advances the technology of the field of 1/12th scale cars and gives you the advantage over any other racer! The Cyclone 12 has already proven its speed when Andy Moore has taken home the championship trophy from the 2007 1/12th European Championships in Sweden!
