I hate to say this but a friend let me drive his Losi and I liked it alot. It was so much easier to drive, I feel like I'm fighting my truck. Mind you I run on mostly loamy, clay rough surfaces. THe Losi didn't accelerate as hard but it jumped great and I could full throttle over our whoopie section and the truck stayed planted. I even liked the way it jumped.
I am having the same problem. Tried everything. Tight belt. Medium belt. Loose belt. New belt, pulleys and tensioners. Always kicks off when Im in the lead or getting close. Got it handling great. Just need to finish.I think its the wimpy plastic front housing that the tensioner is mounted to. An aluminum one would be much smarter. Why Associated every went to belt vs shaft I dont know.

Looking at the Losi also.
