Your belt tensioner sounds a good idea as my guess is the belt on the none drive side slaps about at speed and causes the belt to jump resulting in a broken or stripped belt.
i understand what you mean with the rear end, but on the track the rear seemed rigid with not much roll and in the corners it skipped/bounced a little, in the slow corners the car wanted to hook.
ive been testing my car on high grip astro but want to mainly use it indoors at two venues with a hard rubber floor ( indoor running track ) and also carpet/polished gym floor.
ive been testing the car on astro using scumacher yellow mini spikes with medium inserts outside row cut off front and rear. Also i have medium and soft foams and soft rubber slicks which i was thinking of trying indoor.
my set up so far is as follows....
FRONT
Option house shocks with zx5 fs piston 2-c, 35wt ae oil and original gold springs (maybe silver but i think gold as they look faded)
lower shock position is outside hole
upper shock position is 70mm apart (lots of holes to choose)
camber link on tower is top row 3rd hole in from outside.
been thinking about trying ae blue springs??
REAR
option house shocks with zx5 fs piston 2-b, 30wt ae oil and kit black springs.
lower shock position is middle hole
upper shock position is 75mm apart (again lots of holes to choose)
camber link on tower is top row outside hole
camber link on hub is middle hole top row.
rear brace is number 1 and position is as manual
been thinking about trying ae silver springs??
i do have the original black pistons with two holes and the red pistons with one square notch on the edge if they will be better to use?
I would like a roll bar but don't know were i could find one or if any can be made to fit from a current rc car...was thinking b44 or another one i seen which has little clips for mounting it.
