xx4 belts
 

Hi im just wondering which belt i need for the xx4 because someone told me but i cant remeber if the green belt is the stock one and the blue one is the upgraded one or vise versa.

Kit comes with a green rear belt and both green & blue front belts. I'd run the kit as it come to start with, and then as and when change the blue front to a green. Personally I run green all round now.

Most important thing is to set the slipper right. Don't just lock it up like some people tend to!!! You want about 2 foot of slip, from the slipper. Before setting the slipper also make sure the diff(s) are set with no slip too.

If you're unsure ask someone to have a look, or you'll only strip/snap the belts.


Does this question mean you've actually decided on a 4WD at last??

I was going to go for a X5 but i got a cheap xx4 from hobbytech.

I didnt brake a single belt all last year in my xx4, slipper setting is essential to stop them snapping.
I ran green all round.

Thanks for the help lads.

But one more question. whe Nick oliver got his xx4 he ran his belts in at oswestry national. So im just wondering how long should i do this for and is a macabuchi 540 ok for running them in.

I really wouldn't bother Ashley it's not that important.

Totally agree with Brian. It was only ever needed back in the day when we ran 2400mAh cells and struggled for duration.

Just install a Sphere, x11 5.5t and some VTEC 4200's in her and enjoy ;) :)

Phil your setup has finally popped up at Helger:)

They don't seem to want to change your picture though:D

Is that the car I bought off you Ian?
If it is then it still has the same belts on it now

Thanks for your helplads.
Sorry phil im a red person not a blue.;)

Remember Ash. It's not the colour we are on the outside, it's whats on the inside that counts.


Although "Blue is Better" :D

but red is cheaper!

I have alway like nosram and always had a nosram so that is why i preffer nosram but im not really that fussy it is just a sticker and the colour. Also i have a red reciever so it matches.:D

the blue front belt comes with the kit. Run the green belt instead. The blue belt is more flexible and prone to snapping.
