Thanks for the thread revival I've just realised I've got one of these yoke chassis and the belt kit to go with it so I know what I've got to build now!

wasp belt drive
The pictures shown I believe were from the parts G Stote Dad, Alan and my dad Terry created to turn the original kyosho optima into a belt drive rather than the chain it came with.
I read earlier somewhere that someone thought RW made the spur gears, To clarify Alan Stote bought a gear cutting machine and produced them on site along with all the other parts for the rc world he made. I should know.....I spent days at the machine making 48dp and 64dp spurs for various cars. Then dad and alan decided to make a blank that fitted in the slipper clutch and spurs that could be changed without dismantling the slipper tension you'd spent ages sorting out!! Back then gear ratios were really important for run time, heat and speed so they were being changed a lot more than today! |

I have spent ages at mum and dads hunting for any of this gear but sadly I can't find very much of it.
What I do have is a lot of memories from a number of people that have written some nice stuff on here |

The belt I have has some small cracks so I can't use it in a runner. I'm looking at MXL-belts like these but I don't want to order at random and don't feel like counting the teeth either... http://www.ebay.com/itm/B280-B285-B2...nGmBfHlftb9g1Q |

Great pictures! Those are at Eden Park, was called Eden Park Overlanders back then, these days it's called Eden Park Raceway and has changed a bit, but is still instantly recognisable from those pics.
