Just funning with ya:D man,

Craig and Coyote are way meanierrrrr:cry:

It's all good :cool:

I just want to have all my bases covered, so when I make my order I'm prepared.

I know that the screw lengths are correct, and I have removed and re installed them double checking the size, adding washers etc. I will check the rear arm mounts and let you know. Is the belt supposed to run really free? I am not sure if I have a problem or not:confused:

If the belt & truck are new expect a little tight feeling , but the belt should rotate smooth .

when you run the truck a bit, the belt will stretch and it will rotate a bit easier.


Don't expect to push the car on the table and expect to see the wheels rotate for a while , best I can get is one or two rotations of the wheels with the motor removed.

Take the belt completly off and just spin the wheels front and back with out the belt. It should be REAL free spinning. like a 2w should be. I picked up screws 2mm to long (like Cherry said) when I put it back together it would not spin free. The belt has a lot of free spin drag if you are not used to what it feels like.

Tryed searching, but what kind of scales should I buy.

Thanks, I believe that the belt is smooth, the truck is brand new and once I run it, it will free up a bit. This is new to me, I run touring car, TC4 and this is my first time with a belt driven vehicle.

I would first disassemble the belt and check to see if the front and rear topshaft are free.

Have you ran the truck yet or just finished assembly? Try running it up n down the street and see if that helps. Also if it makes a weird sound that will be a good indication that something isn't right.

I have not ran the truck yet, I am finishing the build. I have taken the front and rear transmissions apart a couple of times, I may have to do it again just in case there is something not right. Now is the time to do it because the truck is not finished.

On another note, I was putting on the rear belt cover, and it is a short shot. Part of the end that fits into the center belt cover is completely missing. I guess I will be talking to AE about that one.:mad:

What do you guys think of these saddle packs? Is there anything better out there for around the same price?

I wasn't challenging you, WC. I wouldn't dare challenge that post count. :rolleyes:

Yeah. And when homework is done, Tuning down a faster motor is 'just fine'. Thanks. :lol:

I am not mean. :lol:

Wicked?

chad the scales i use are from Harbor freight and are 13.00 each (at least they were a year ago!) those batt are good, i use the Gens ace's for qualifying, they are only 25c and tame the truck making it more consistant. and in the mains i run promatch 50c (its all about getting your position right off the tone!!) www.promatchracing.com

You're really maxing those 25c's with a 4x4.
