Thank you STLNLST
Thank you mangoman
We do run mod outdoors and 10.5 indoors, yes the belts do flip over unless they are very tight so if the tensioner will help we'll give it a try.
Thanks again for the help

No Worries....
My understanding is that a tight belt generates more friction however a loose belt and it will either slip/flip. Someone please correct me if im wrong....
I suspect running the belt too tight will also result in higher wear of the belt, while if the belt is slipping im sure that is also not good for the teeth on the belt.

My 2c.
I run my front belt a with cam notch at the 11 o'clock position (if you are looking at the diff from the drivers side...cam notch pointing to 11 o'clock). This makes the belt somewhat loose and friction free.
My rear belt, however, is set with cam notch at the 3 o'clock, or almost full loose.
I haven't had any problems with the belts flipping over or skipping while running 17.5 or 10.5. If you're going to run mod, I would adjust the cams 2 notches tighter (front, I think, at 9 o'clock, rear at 12, or maybe even 11 o'clock). With the additional power you will skip them for sure.

If you look at the bearing holder (also called a cam), there is a notch in it so you can align the left and right together. Thus, a cam notch!

oh ok but when you said from the driver side do you mean from the midle of the chassi and and you look outwards or you mean you look from the outside to the inside of the car.

given a 6cell setup, i am now switching over to lipo in my cyclone with 17.5 What i want to know is what necessary as far as tuning/setup changes when going from NIMH to LIPO? The car was already balanced with weights with the nimh setup so i figure with lipo i need to re-balance it...anything else?
