The TA05 is my first belt-driven car.
What tension should the belts be and how should I check this? When is it too loose or too tight?
Due to variable humidity the tension varies a bit.

I will keep you guys posted

Well, when I just run silver can and sport tuned motors, I can run it pretty loose, like being able to lightly press the belt down to barely touch the chassis parts below.
For 19T, I run it one notch tighter than when I could press it down that far.
I've only tried asphalt, so carpet may need to be even tighter because there's no give in the tires...
I'd probably try one notch tighter for mod, but that 19T tightness should be a good average to start with, especially with variable temps like that.
Also, I'm running the aramid belts, not sure if regular ones need different settings..

I guess I will tighten them a bit as I am running on carpet next weekend.
Thanks very much.

Nice try
We might have it under the Speed Tech R/C lable and if it can still remain cost effective, we might also include a titanium screw kit that will work with this new conversion kit.Steve Wang
