Hot Bodies Cyclone options

Hot Bodies have announced that they will start shipping a number of new optionals for both the Cyclone 12 and touring car. First up for the 12 is this aluminium version of the cars unique steering servo mount kit, which is stronger than the original plastic version and comes complete with all the fasteners needed to mount it to your chassis. Also new for the 12 is a black anodised aluminium rear pod, which not only helps greatly with heat dissipation, but also helps stiffen the rear of the car making it very stable. Finally for the Cyclone touring car are a set of offset body posts that go over the normal posts of the touring car and allow the user to fine tune the position of the body by enabling it to be moved in small amounts to either the front or rear.

Hot Bodies Cyclone Belts & Pulley

Hot Bodies have released a number of new parts for their World Champion 190mm chassis, the Cyclone. The release of 18T pulleys, in both standard and one way versions, give the Cyclone extra cornering traction and are an extra tuning option over the standard 16T pulleys. Use the pulleys to alter the front or rear traction properties of the car by adjusting each end independently, or add 18T pulleys for both front and rear drive belts. To cater for the larger diameter of these 2 new pulleys, HB have also released a new front and rear belt which is longer than the standard versions.

M Mod have released this brass battery plate, joining Serpent in manufacturing a heavweight battery holder to bring the cars center of gravity lower. Suitable for the Mugen MRX-4 range, the new plate is 54 grams and a direct replacement for the original kit version. The advantages of more weight lower in the car is that the car can corner faster, yet due to the batteries central location in the chassis, it doesnt slow direction changes.
