If you drive indoor with a high grip track i would try the old suspension arms
but if you drive on a low grip track then use the new ones!!!
On asphalt i always use the new types because they give more steering
but that,s my oppinion

They are the same parts from a pro 4, so they kept the hpi part nyumber for them.

2 deg caster blocks are 73517, and 6 deg is 73519.

Steering knuckles... I know the xray t2 series steering knuckles fit and actually have a longer arm to them. You just have to run the forward hole on the steering knuckle to get the same geometry as the stock steering knuckles.

Never swap them left to right. Put the one that has the R on it, on the right hand side of the car (when looking at it from the back). L goes on the left.

If you mix them back and forth you will get negative caster, which will REALLY screw up the car the car handles. So just make sure you put them on the correct sides and you'll be good

Thats what i figured, thought it might work in a pinch. I just talked my hobby shop owner and i going to stock the parts for me and I am the oly one that runs a cyclone everyone else runs X-ray but in my opinion the cyclone is an X-ray killer well atleast in my class I run stock but with 13.5

so are you a factory driver?

Thats awesome, we all appreciate your help. My questions are kind of confusing sometimes I hate haveing to try to explain over the internet and know one else int oklahoma that I know of runs a cyclone they are all x tamiya or schumacher.

My car last night ran great for the first to qualifiers great then in the third it was ok. we ran practice before the mains and thought I would change somethings then all I did was snap spin and pulled after only 8 laps. I HATE PULLING IN THE MAINS

Will HB or HPI address the issue of the fragile arms on the TC?? Maybe use a different material.

Dannybcaitlyn - I spoke to Andy today about the steering knuckles and A-arms, and it doesn't appear that anything is going to change. I wish I had better news. Many people using the TC have had to switch to aluminum steering knuckles at our local track. Some have started using the Pro4 A-arms. It doesn't appear to be a problem when running outdoors, but indoor with rubber tire on carpet is where many are seeing the problem. Most of the arms people have showed me are breaking right in front of where the bottom of the shock is screwed into the A-arm. Is this where the arm is breaking on yours?
