everytime i race my side belt comes off, and i think it is because of the pulleys, i want to be able to finish a race with all 4 wheels, intead of two. does anybody know if they have pulley's out there taht are better, maybe have bigger walls?? if you do can you tell me where i can find them.

bballer

maybe you need more belt tension?

goldenboy

yah, but i have it has low or as tight as it will go, and it still falls off every race.

I have a R40 with normal pulleys and my belt stays on fine. Your belt should not be falling off that easily. Are you running the 22T front pulley or the 23T?

Maybe its time for a new belt. If you have it all the way down and its still falling off, thats a belt problem, not a pully problem.

If your car is new, then you may want to give HPI a holla and let them know about your problem. If your car isn't new, try a new belt.

Good luck.

or maybe you did not put the correct pulley on when u built it

goldenboy

yah my belt is pretty ragged, i will try that

AMGRacer

Check the front pulley!! If you have the 22T pulley on the belt is very loose. Put the 23T on if this is the case.

goldenboy

i checked it and it says 22-23, so what does that mean lol, how else would i be able to check with out counting them indivdually

goldenboy

i have the 23t

AMGRacer

OK cool. Well you must have messed up the belt somehow. I think Darkseid is right try a new belt first.

goldenboy

alright... i dont feel like starting a new thread so do you know anywhere that sells titanium pivot balls for the r40, i snapped one of mine right in half a week ago and the rod stayed in the a-arm so iit kinda screwed me that whole day, but if you do that would be great! the size is 7.9x18mm, weird.

AMGRacer

There is some info on the R40 thread about this. I have GPM pivotballs in my car, but I am probably not a good example as I dont really crash that hard or often. Some people are suggesting Mugen Pivotballs.

Good luck...

Mine went from 'new' to 'tensioner all the way down' in a hurry. But it has settled in now.

goldenboy

yah i have heard about the mugen ones, but where i work we sell them for 115$ and that is a lot of money, because it comes with the whole set. is there a place where i can order them single or a least a pack of 2??
