Reason I ask is because my previous belt drive experience is limited to the Tamiya DB-01. While I lived the belt drive setup on that car and the lack of maintenance, getting to the diffs for a refresh was a serious exercise in self-flagellation. IIRC, it took removing 12 screws from the covers and popping the shock tops off the towers to get at the diffs, but the plastic tamiya used for the chassis made screw removal and replacement a REAL PITA, even with SS screws and waxing them before install. Thankfully, the driveline in that car stayed adjusted and clean for a long time, so I didn't have to do it often.
This truck looks like a killer setup, just hoping the maintenance is easier. From what I can see in pictures, it looks like there are less fasteners required to hold the belt tunnels on this truck.
truck is very easy to take apart and put together, the belt maintanance is second to none, especially if you have an automatic screwdriver thingy... too my dff apart and back on in a matter of 10 mins during a race so its not that difficult
