One thing that is not real evident by the setup sheet where the diff tension is set front and rear. When looking at the right side of the car, the front tension notch will point toward the front of the car for position 8, and the rear the notch will point the opposite direction toward the rear of the car. Looking at the setup sheet, its easy to think they should point the same direction. This is explained on p27 of the manual where the front of the car is actually reversed from the setup sheet.

Also, the newer belts are a bit looser and more free wheeling, but not alot. There was a running change in belt material type.

The one way is centered in the chasis, its the pulley on the unit that is out of round. I didnt over tighten the screws but theres no way for the hub to key into the pulley and make it run true.

Its not that the belt is too tight, maybe, its more of the TON of drag it has. I can spin the drive line with rubber tires and it stops the second I stop. I pushed it on the floor and what should have rolled a few feet, it rolled a couple of inch's. I have had a couple of belt cars and all needed some attetion to free up the drive train but this car is down right wrong. My pro 2 would spin longer with foam tires on it than this car with rubber. Way longer.

The last race it looked really slow coming off the corners. Now I know why. Just have to figure out a way to free it up.

I have played with the diff adjusters and know there built right. Guess I will try and hunt down a little longer belt.

I didnt have this much drag with the diff. Do they use a diffrent size pulley for the one way and spool?

Do you see a UG or UK printed on the belt someplace?

If you put the oneway up next to the diff and align the pulleys do the outdrives line up as much as possible?

If you have a picture of the car please share it with us. As you know, a picture is worth 1000 words.

Anyone know a good place to buy the yokomo bomber belt? Also would it be possible to drill/dremel another notch on the diff holder so the belt would be a little looser. I'm at the last notch on the adjustment and it still feels like it too tight.

TIA

how many times have you ran it?

it might be because you havent broken in the belt?

thanks for your reply.

I heard the newer belts were a little looser so I bought one and ran it about 20 or more times. But to me it's still a little tight.

anyone have a good link for ca'ing your chassis. Never done it before. Thanks. Tried search, but that's not fruitful.
