Hi all,
quick and simple question to everyone using a Cyclone 5 Speed Gear Box in a TS1 are they worth the money?
Any better performance ect?

I have a cyclone in a standard tv175 and wouldn't want to go back to 4, I imagine the benefits would be even greater with a TS1 motor, but bear in mind they offer no guarenties but the box is not designed for over 20bhp motors

I think some people have fitted them in over 20BHP motors though with no problems :D

I might be wrong but didn't they do their R + D on two engine's with bhp in the mid 20's?

They don't offer a guarantee at all! I`m meerly pointing out what the manual states, I think Stuart Day had one in his racer, would think that's putting mid 30bhp minimum I would imagine, anyway just get one, its the future!
