this is the link i go to the sirio site with silverm3, http://www.star-motor.com/forum/

i'm currently running a mega zx12 which performs well for the price! i havent had any problems that others are complaining about on these forums, great bottom end and quick spool up time not to good for larger tracks though tops out to early i found at the state titles here, was going to try my sirio evo2 (not wcr version) but my friend blew his motor and i lent it to him to keep his weekend alive... thing was a missile tho, should have swapped him hehe

Hi, I am new to the belt drive system, anyway, for the drive belts, v-one rrr seemed to have the 189, 384, 180 drive belt, what are the differences between them in terms of performance and durability?

And also if I were to change the belt drives? Do i need to change other things like the pully etc?

And also regarding about the settings for high top end or high acceleration? Do I need to change the 1st gear? Cause I am confused where the kyosho site says that it has two speed automatic transimission, but only 1st gears are available in the options parts.

Thanks alot for the help as I am a newbie here.

hey andy!
Yeh man, sent my entry in last friday

have you tryed the spool yet? i found it to make the front belt heaps too tight, even with it on the loosest setting possible. Anyone else have this problem?

Hey tiger266
the 1st gears are also 2nd gears for rrr. this is from memory but i think its from 15 to 17 or that are used as 1st gears on clutch bell and 20 to 23 listed as 1st gears that are used as a 2nd gear.

Hey Andy im going down there next Sunday for practice....

Have you run on the track yet? Would lighter diff oil in the rear benifit the car there? say 10k?

Cheers

The RRR like most belt driven cars uses 3 belts. 189 is the front belt, 384 is the middle belt, and 180 the rear belt.

You will only need to change the pully if it's worn or damaged. You do not need to change the pully everytime you replace your belt.

You do not need to change any gears. The kit comes with everything you need for the 2 speed.

Oh ok thanks, so are there better belts in terms of less friction etc?

Can you tell me what parts gets worn out easily as I need to buy the parts and keep it as spares. Thanks.

As I am getting the WC Edition, what do you recommend to get to upgrade the kit further?

Thank you once again.

you will need to upgrade the rear shocktower. they break very easy. i sell an upgraded shock tower. i sell them 2 for 18.99 with free shipping. if interested, email me at [email protected]. thanks.

The WC edition comes with the low friction belts. The rear diff outdrive can wear out pretty quick especially if you use a powerful motor. I would keep the usual spares like arms, wheel hubs, suspension shafts, and belts. The WC edition comes pretty much fully hopped and you really don't need much more upgrade.

tiger266 - If you dont have a pipe already I would suggest getting the skyline VR12 , it seems to be the best I have tested. You can also get an ugraded rear tower from them that is identical to the one that comes in the WC kit just thicker and stronger . You can also get a second WC rear tower and bolt thom together. There really are not any other hopups that you need. www.skylinercracing.com

oh cool thanks for the info, however that site only ships to Canada and the US and I live in Australia, so any infos on where to get skyline pipes other than that site. Theres an aussie site www.rcaddict.com.au that sells the VRs12 but not the VR12.

tiger266

Can you give me the code no e.g. VZ012 for rear diff outdrive, cause the only differential i can find in the option/spare parts in the manual is the Front differential gear. thanks
