Hot Bodies Cyclone TC 1.87CS






(Last Updated: 2011-06-26)

Countersteer Ratio: 1.87

The 1st generation Hot Bodies Cyclone is a limited edition Surikarn Edition released around 2007. This is the only blue alloy chassis that Hot Bodies has ever released. This chassis has been countersteer modified to a 1.87 ratio (for every 1 revolution of the front tire, the rear rotates 1.87 times). This car has been balanced 50/50 laterally and rear weight biased due to motor position. This car performs really well and is very fun to drive, definitely a personal favorite!
