Anyone had problems with Mi3 topdecks breaking? Last weekend we ran 2 cars (only 2nd time out for both cars) and both broke the topdecks. Mine literally split in half, while the other one still stayed together, but is broken nonetheless
We did have some nice flights, but on my car nothing else was bent or broken, the other one broke rear lower arm as well.
I have to say I have never had a topdeck break throughout the 10 years I have raced Schumacher touring cars... the Mi3 one looks a lot more fragile as well than the previous ones, but still, this came as a complete surprise. One more thing to stock up.

Randy, how many teeth does the 414 pully have?? Must admit i 'd been thinking about it - xray i know has the same belt pitch - and if theirs is 2 teeth then i'd guessed that seemed about right.
As for topdecks. Have had no problems myself, but i have seen 2 break i think.

I dont have any of my stuff with me right now, but the 414 pulley has 1 tooth less than our pulleys. Only problem is we have rounded teeth on our belts, and the 414 pulley is for the older squared off teeth, still seems to work fine with no excess belt wear or friction though.
