Using the 18T center and 37T front & rear pulleys, I replace the rear belt and rear belt 18T pulley at the same time about every 20-25 5-minute runs/qualifiers/races. You are pretty much wasting your time if you do not replace the rear belt 18T pulley with the new rear belt, IMO. Also, I set my rear belt tension ONE NOTCH looser than the supplied sheets show. For some reason, the front belt and front 18T pulley last ALOT longer, probably a 2:1 ratio to the rear belt & center pulley.

EDIT: Novak 6.5 Light, LRP TC Spec (punch level 3 or 4, I can't remember), both indoor, high traction dirt surface (slick or near-slick Losi Pink Taper Pins at Trackside / full tread Pro-Line Holeshots, Pink Taper Pins, Panther Switch 2.0 clay at Dirt Heaven)
