Has anyone ever thought of creating a mid motor belt driven 2wd buggy?

i have been working on the idea for a while as the belt drive design i belive will give a wrap up effect i dont think it wil be the way to go i do belive since its such a short distance a chain drive will be a better effect as it will try to sling itself away and i think will give the car a effct as that of putting a brass weight on the slipper

I have a mid motored Topcat in the works. It is going to be absolutely sick. Custom alloy chassis, belt drive, big bore shocks.
I will post some pics in a while. |

belt drive used to be ok in a 2wd, it does actually help cushion the kick of the motor. chain drive is awful, had an old rc10 with the mip chain drive, any slack on the chain at all and it just wheelied everywhere, even with a slipper. the kick of the slack being taken up was much too severe then, so i dread to think what it would be like with modern motors

been there, done that.... ran it once then headed back up to scotland where we don't play with toys...
![]() Mine is based on a hybrid of the Yokomo MX4 and the Kyosho RB5 (metric cars FTW) http://oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42080 went well, i was rusty as hell driving! Needs fixing, and more droop at the back and it'd be reet. Planning to get it running again, so I need to get - new rear shock tower to lower top shock mounting positions (Will be home made so will probably look pish) new rear belt (old one was from a well used MX4 and was bobbins) new rear diff pulley (see above, it killed it) adjust motor mount to give option to run bigger pinions

Back in the day of the Losi JRX2, Losi released a product called Hyperdrive, which didnt really take off in the UK.....
I have done some digging around t'internet and not been able to find much, however I did come across this link: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=17704 Not massively related to the thread, but interesting anyway (I think so.... ![]() |
