Sorry i don't know what the part number is. It came with the car.
I think it's just a motor heat sink, they are available at most hobby shops.
I think i will go for a proton body, they feel stronger.

Yours is looking good! Glad i found this thread.

Cheers, Brett.

I have just got my almost new IWC out of the box (it has what i believe is called the Cyrul Conversion on it) that I got of the Bay a few years back, with todays cells, motors etc I think the layout will really work well, just trying to get a few bots sorted and it'll be good to go!

Seems to be a lot of people doing the same thing, has anybody got theirs on thr track yet? How do they go? Any pictures all LiPo's and brushlessed up?

Cheers
Chris
They are slightly wider at 5mm rather than 4 but still fit very very well. I usually cut them in half and trim every other tooth off now. It makes it a bit more flexable and helps with acceleration. I don't like the super thin belts because they fracture and break easily so I made sure to get some good reinforcement in mine while not compromising the performance.

Brett,
That probably is the carpet model of the Street Weapon. It's very rare. This one that you pointed out is a plain Street Weapon with added titanium and aluminum. The guy that owned it before my girlfriend actually stadium rally raced it so he had that custom, blue aluminum piece made for the front. It has the arms and shock towers attached to it.

Very rare carpet racer you say! That makes me happy.

You sure do have some nice cars there Josh!

Thanks for the info, Brett.

rare nowdays anyway... it's getting tougher to find a normal street or rally weapon out there, yours looks like the Josh Cyrul one.

Looks like it's just the three of us!

I will check a few sites for others that need belts or at least anyone that still has these cars.

I asked the guy that gave me the car what model it was and he told me it's a Losi IWC Edition Street Weapon. What does IWC mean?

Cheers, Brett.

It's a championship edition I believe. IWC is the indoor world championship. Anyone else know if that's correct? Chrissy, do you know? It was before my time.

Great! I'm gonna try and convince them to make me some front and side belts as well. I just picked up a graphite weapon for less than 30 bucks with a tuning kit. I love the wider wheels, but definitely gotta order some new belts again.
