Hi hogjowlz,
I'm pretty new with mini r/cs (just bought my first one, a Charge-N-Go, a couple weeks ago), but I have gotten addicted to mini r/cs, and recently tried a Cyclona (boxed version), which comes with a 2.2, and medium tires. I also got four Shen s from eBay (they were supposed to be Panthers, but I heard Shen s are just as good, if not better) that come with a 2.6, and I believe they are medium tires.

I tried out my gf's Cyclona first, and it was WAY better than my Charge-N-Go, as expected. Went pretty straight right out of the box, and spped and especially handling was also better than my Charge-N-Go. I was pretty impressed with the Cyclona for $19.98 (CDN, before taxes).

Then I tried one of the Shen s I got from eBay. The first thing I thought was: "WOW, FAST." It did not go straight, it veered left slightly, so I just adjusted the alignment tab on the bottom, and it goes straight now. Handling on it is great as well!

We raced my gf's Cyclona (Maroon Toyota bB Open Deck) vs my Shen (Red Nissan Skyline), and the Shen is definitely faster for sure.

So far I am VERY happy with my Shen s, but is there anyone who owns both a Shen and a Panther, and can tell me how they compare?

Thanks for your time.
