MI3 ARMS

ARE THE MI3 ARMS DIFFERENT THAN THE ARMS ON THE EC?

IF SO WILL THEY FIT ON THE EC?

I DON'T REALLY WANT TO MESS WITH CAR TO MUCH. IT'S PRETTY MUCH DIALED FOR STOCK OR 19 TURN.

IT WAS JUST THOUGHT........

What's the best belts to use on the MI3 for mod (LRP X-11 4.5)? Do they grey belts hold up or are the standard black ones the go?
Cheers Andrew

Make sure your set screw on the pinion can't touch the belt. When the car is running, the belts don't exactly stay in a straight line. They deflect up and down. The front belt can hit the set screw and start to wear away the teeth and make them fray sometimes.

ON WHICH CAR DID THE BULKHEADS BREAK
