I could not find anything in the forum yet and I hoped to find someone else that may have experienced this issue. 2 belts in one race day seemed a little excessive. I hope someone out there can help. I really like this car and if I could get the belt issue taken care of it would be a great car. Thanks.
I run 10.5 on parking lot race no problem, make sure every rotating parts are spin free, true, and all the pulleys are lined up straight with spur gear.
