Had a center belt pulley break off the black ring portion that keeps the belt in place. Be sure to check these because when mine fell off, it locked up the drivetrain and cracked the top deck. Just a few drops of CA and the pulley is fixed, but I wish I caught the issue beforehand.

Xray T4 pulleys work and won’t come loose.

STLNLST, when you went to 2mm under the suspension blocks did you also raise the upper-inner camber link as well? Martin Hofer has a new setup on petitrc where he does something similar. I thought I saw that you have made the main (Clinton right...?), congrats!

Despite this recent big race success and how great this car has been for me right out of the box and the desire to try the hard carbon and magnesium chassis options, I am still convinced that mid motor/equal belt length designs are the future. I also bent my stock chassis in a really bad "tick boom" incident soooo... since I had to get something anyway, I ordered the Arrowmax Medius conversion via snail mail direct from Arrowmax (not sure if it was really in stock anywhere else).
I don't like how spread out the electronics are on the Zero Tribe and Cox. The Rebellion looks fantastic but it's very expensive and I have a lot of cars in the stable that I'd like to buff. So Medius it is

I also just found out that the drive pulleys are 19 tooth so 2.0 drive ratio (T4 conversion pictured so no shorty option on the BD9).

I will be getting a BD9 Aluminum Kit and AM Mid Motor Medius Kit soon.
Rebellion-RC announced a new tunable flex aluminum chassis ready in about 3 weeks or so for their mid motor kits too. Interesting. I don't think they had any aluminum chassis version before did they?

Tech Rookie
I'm about to install the Medius kit and I see that all of the ESC position behind the motor ...
is it just for a space problem or weight balance ???

Been continuing the push of the BD9 these last few weeks and I just love this dam car.. just as much no more than I did when I first bought it I will be doing the Arrowmax Mid conversion as well with the alum base. If my car get's any better then it currently is I may do a backflip lol..
Recently went from the Dog to the Hello kitty body and dam.. they both work amazing but the Hellcat is my new favourite on road glitch part

Do you happen to have a link for that? I was looking at the website and I must have missed it. Being that I am building mine I just want to take care of it right away.

I glued mine as well. No pictures but the two pulleys sitting on each side of the spur gear. The guards pop off, pop them off by hand and just glue them right away.
