HPI Japan have announced the Cyclone TC, the latest version in a long line of successful touring cars released under the Hot Bodies brand. Instead of being a completely new platform, the TC is just a refined version with better performance, easier adjustment and stronger parts and incorporates a number of parts previously released as optionals in the kit as standard. The new 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis plate has been designed to take the recently released plastic battery holders, while the front upper deck appears to be taken from the carpet conversion but has been made from 2mm carbon fibre. The rear upper plate is also 2mm thick but has been made from FRP material. The rear of the car has been supplied with a revised ball differential while the front sports a one way/solid front axle that comes with pins to change between the two options. The rear wishbones now feature optimised lower shock mounting positions and a neat feature on the front and rear anti roll bar push rods is that they are now to the bar from the top and so can have their length easily adjusted. The car also seems to be supplied with updated shock towers and I am sure other features but this is all I can work out from the Japanese translation.
