No slippage or belt damage, the car is still going strong. This vinatge car can still keep up and pass quite easily, but the Tamiya has now taken my full attention and had better be up to the challenge, but I do admit its much easier to work with and dial which has impressed me a lot. A few more mods still needed to get it up to my standards but so far all I have been is impressed.

thing is now James, that the car has so much more power with NiMh's, let alone LiPo cells, that even on the same ratio, there will be far FAR more rip for you pennies... much more. And to be honest, when your running mod, and racing, you got to expect some wear and tare don't you.
