The FM will provide much better protection from interference. The FM units from Futaba are excellent, as are the ones such as the one in the link minicooper gave. They are also very affoardable.

Save your money and buy a Spektrum DX2. You will save money in the long run. It is DSM so no crystals to deal with. So when those big races come around and the is racing going on and you need to test something on the car. you need not worry about your radio messing things up.
Plus you can find this radio cheap. in the $150 range.

After you are sure that that is correct, run the car and the belts will stretch slightly after about a dozen runs or so.
But if you're really worried that the belts are too tight, you can adjust them to loosen them. You do this by moving the little dot counter clockwise. One notch should be enough.

Low wind mod- medium tight (maybe box set up) 2mm of up and down play
19turn- a click or two looser than box set up. 3mm of up and down play
stock- 3-4mm of up and down play
Most belts slip under heavy braking- not acceleration. Also never run a belt too tight- you'll toast your motor. Too loose you'll just wear the pulleys or the belt will slide off in a crash. I always run mine loose on my 415 for 19turn. After a year I'm still using the original belts and pulleys with no probs.
