i tried the silver in the font and works pretty well, however the copper rear seems too stiff so i go back to black from stock. many racer comment the gold is pretty good but I can't get it from the hobby shop.

Hi Raceblast,

Front belt

Does anyone know if Fantom front belt fit Evolva?. Upon inspection today I found out my front belt has gone a few teeth and my LHS has't stock Evolva parts yet, but he's got Fantom belts, and to make things worse, this weekend we will have a big 1/8th race. So if any of you has tried the Fantom front belts or any car's front belt (Mugen/Serpent) in the Evolva with success, pls advice me.

Thanks!

I think the Fantom belt is actually a little bit longer and the Mugen belt does not fit.

You may get the belt at gm models.
But I heard the delta xp4 belts are more durable than even the optional Kyosho belts. They are the same length.

Front belt problems?

So even the Evolva is not immune to the front belt/small 16 pulley problem? Too much power on these 1/8 scale cars is revealing the weakness that may cause me to just go back to 1/10 scale sedans. It's more fun to be running than fixing belt problems in the pits. What's worse is you know you'll be breaking it again and again.
