I like the metal motor plate. Very nice.

Doesnt the car moves faster with all the wheels on the ground ???

Should atleast improve the lap times

Anyone ever notice that the kyosho nitro spider's sp belt's specification is RPD and not HTD?

Both car/buggy have the same differentials.

I might have to re-quote everything about the kevlar corded polyurethane belts for the lazer.


I will post some pictures for all to see later.

[oosh123]

This is the industries' specification for metric timing belts.



Notice the shape of the belts. And this is the SP belt from the nitro Spider touring car.







There are many forums that said the belts are HTD spec. But as I have noticed in the sp belt, the teeth are not rounded and there are no groove in the middle of the teeth. Therefore, I conclude that the SP belts are actually RPD Spec.

Furthermore, the tough racing belts are STD specs, hence the S3M letters on their belts. Their belts seem soft for a high torque application and the thickness is around 2.0mm and not 2.2mm as in the industries' STD spec. Thus, Welshy, this might be the reason why your rear belt shredded in a 5 minute race.



I am trying to get a quote for these belts from another supplier. Hopefully, their MOQ (minimum order quantity) is lower then the previous ones.

I know someone posted it somewhere but can i find it no. The blue covered bearings are what im after. Any ideas?

Are these the ones you are looking for??

Search for blue rubber seal bearings in ebay

[rondoolaa]

cant wait till i've got the red bits all on the same car

[Welshy40]

Very red and metal. Looks interesting.

Gutted, someone beat me to the belt tensioner design, never mind.

Just bought the set for the ZXS, after all the bearings are identical in size for that car. My cars getting bluer every day and Rondoolaa's is getting redder as well.

Only a few more items to make it a blue work of art, and they are in progress.

Set up is coming along nicely, as i've sorted the front the rear end has been stiffened with associated silver springs and hope to test this in two weeks time.

The ZX-S on the other hand is now dialed for astro and cant wait to get it out to give it a good thrashing. On carpet its about one second a lap off the pace of the Ttech predator in the hands of a team driver but then again he was using the correct schumacher yellow mini pins but I had to settle for mini spikes due to over grip with the pins so maybe on the same pace outside. Im now happy with this car, taken me two years to redesign and get it right.

You might have hit this on the head, maybe thats exactly why I am getting through the belts rapidly. Lets hope this is what is needed, nicely done.

Uh-oh, I think I have made a mistake. Looks like the belt standard I posted have been tempered by other people. The STD belt picture is supposed to be RRP and vice versa.

Therefore, I was wrong and tough racing was right. The belts are supposed to be STD 3M, aka S3M. Sorry tough racing, but your belts are still wimpy.

I will quote for S3M belts.

You meant the slot in the middle??

Don't worry welshy, That's not for a belt tensioner mount. It's only to reduce the weight of this brace. Trust me I bought this part NIB.

BTW, ron, this brace is for sale if you want a better looking one.
