Hi,

Could somebody give some update on these upgrades??
Maybe somebody who uses them can give his input?

Are they any better than the kit set up? I stripped a NEW belt yesterday at a meeting after 3 runs???
Is it possible to use stronger belts than the Tamiya ones?
What do you need if you use the one way?

Thanks in advance!

Dave was using the green belts of the Losi XX4 yesterday, he said they were more than OK, maybe you can try them? (btw I'm potloodslijper).

Aha, potloodslijper. Good to know!

Je moet me toch is zeggen van waar dat de naam "potloodslijper vandaan komt???

Ciao

Eigenlijk heel stom, ik zocht een forumnaam die wat origineler was dan de traditionele engelstalige namen, en zag een slijper op m'n bureau liggen, en zette er dan maar potlood voor. En het helpt: iedereen herinnert zich altijd potloodslijper nog, heb ik al heel vaak gemerkt.

Now, back to an English conversation, it isn't a Dutch forum after all

I'll be replacing my OEM belt system very soon with the new option parts. I have had some crunchy/slipping belt noises but have loosened the slipper a little bit to reduce the noise/tension on the drivetrain. It has helped reduce the noise some but I look forward to trying the new parts. Will report back when this all happens...
