obviously, the front is easy. here's your rear:
the Tamiya 416 belts are probably how I would go, exact same # of teeth for the front and 1 extra for the rear that I can probably mitigate with the rear belt tensioner...

This thread is such a good idea. I might add a few lenghts later but my cars are old an unpopular so I guess it won't be that useful.
A similar idea started on a Belgian forum, was to aggregate all the existing MIP CVDs lenghts in a single place. It is a bit more complex because you need precise calipers to do that, and you have to agree on everyone giving the same mesurement ( from pin center to pin center would be the smartest, obviously.)
Also, you have to give the measurements in metric and indicate for each model, the material and diameter of the pin, if it requires pin cushions (blades) or not, etc... still it's a great idea and if I have the opportunity I'll start a thread about it.

I have been getting losi weapon belts custom made for some time. If I was able to get some of these made, would anyone be interested? It may be a bit of a stretch though as the lengths and tools needed are proprietary. I will ask though if anyone is interested.

I counted the teeth on the following Tamiya cars so I know these are accurate:
Original Belts on TRF415 is 167 Front & 59 Rear
TRF415 MSX MRE is 168 Front & 60 Rear (Also for the MSXX and MSXX MRE)
TRF416X is 172 Front & 59 Rear
It would be nice if Tamiya would put the teeth in the Instruction manuals and on their header card on the packages per part number just like the pulleys.
Some of the Low Friction belts they released should be the same number of teeth as it is an option part in most cases, but I heard some people say they are 1 less tooth sometimes. Wouldn't make sense to me, just should be different material.

The belt manufacturers like bando and mitsuboshi, they sell their belts by 1 sleeve. 1 sleeve can be cut into 70 to 90 belts, depending on the width you want to be cut. The retailer have the cutting machine.
If you have group of friends willing to buy 5 belts at once, you'll be surprice each belt only cost you few dollars.
Most RC belts are coded S3M XXX, S3M means 3mm pitch, and XXX means the total length of belt in mm. Divide the length ( XXX) by 3, and you get the number of teeth.

Everyone, please be careful.
The S in the S3M is very important. It stands for STD (Super Torque Drive) and it refers to the profile of the teeth. There are many other profiles available as well sech as Omega, HTD and RPP. If you use one of these other profiles they may not work as well as the STD and will almost certainly induce alot more friction on the drive.
STD belts are mainly made in Asia by companies like Bando and hence you will find them in alot of Asian machinery, but they are not so common in other parts of the world. More common in other parts of the world are HTD and Omega profiles.
Now just so you don't think that this guy doesn't know anything, I work in the industry and sell hundreds of both vee and timing belts everyday.

yeah, there are different tooth profiles, but i've never had a problem mixing and matching tooth profiles. in theory, it's not great, but in practice i haven't found it to be a big issue with most pulleys. durability and performance have not been a problem over the years when i've done this. the exception being the fenner fht-3 belt profile on the soft tamiya 415 pulleys. over time, the belt did wear the teeth funny. still, ran fine on the track, though. (but fenner's urethane is very hard)
generally, driveline friction is not really anything to be worried about in on-road. (unless it's out of hand)

What about Team Magic E4 belts? Anybody knows the sizes?

What brand car uses the better/worse RC belts?
or are they more or less all the same
