I do believe from the Reedy pics of the car at the side shot it looks to be a dual belt set-up. Sorry man.

Someone menitoned it was a single belt. If it is, you all can eat those comments.

Truly, that extra foot off of the starting line I used to always have with my XXXS is the only thing I miss with my JRXS. Play on!!!

Brant,
I have been diving the AE cars since the TC3 came out so the belt car will be learning curve for me. With the shaft and my Checkpoint 9 single just look out, I had tons of RIP. I will need to ask some questions that is for sure.

My only shaft experience has been the past 2 yrs with a borrowed TCS EVO4. Its a cool car but man the torque steer was wicked this year running the KD 19 turn. Anyway, the belt cars should make it a little easier to set up since you really don't have the torque thing to deal with.

Interesting ........ no ?

looking at the 3 pics already posted, It looks like the front and rear diff are offset, meaning a twin belt transmission.
What is interesting is that the side picture of the car, the top deck is quite high in relation to the spur gear? weird?

Tech Regular
those Arm look like made of 4~5 mm thick (flexibel) delrin plate ..
then curious with 2 pcs black screw on each arm > CF plate stabilizer connecting left and right arm?? (..like stiffener plate on pan car front end..??)

The Black screws are for the sway bar. The TC4 has the same set up.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but the wishboes look asthough they are fixed to the bulkheads in a similar way to the Xray style.
Good or bad thing.... really your own preference.

delrin, while fairly stiff relative to other virgin polymers, is not nearly as stiff as the materials, 50-75% carbon or glass filled, that are currently used for arms in the tc market. not to mention, the impact resistance of delrin is extremely low. arms made of pure delrin are a complete disaster on tracks with barriers. just ask the corally crew.
