Yes is's a clone
But has many tamiya parts and i really like it.Works awsome.
The belt is about 2mm away in any directions from the mount.
After tesing the car there is no sign of scratches on the alloy thing so the belt never reached it while i was driving.
Also it depends on the car,my front belt runs on the left side of the pulley,but my friends runs on the middel and i can't make a center mount for him becasue the belt always reaches the mount.
I'm glad that mine works great
