The belt has nothing to do 2 do with the ratio! Its all to do with number of teeth on the gears

Yeah 100%

Think of it the same as a shaft drive car, if the shaft is longer will it change the ratio?.... No.

The only way the ratio can change is if the size of the gear changes

Never really ever had any problems with front or mid belts, it was rear belts I was going through this season. Really love my xx-4 don't think I will be running mine anymore, it's good to see it still winning.

Ha yeah it's pretty much 'as new' they is a few good condition used parts on there and the chassis is pretty battered underneath but I'm trying to sort a new one out!

I did give it a run the other night, it only has a 7.5 in and felt abit slow, then the rear diff came loose. On closer inspection I had built it wrong!!

It's nice, I need a new chassis for my car to, I cracked mine on the ring of fire at the oOple race this year, xx-4 vs the ring of fire is not a good idea.

Yeah, just at the motor. I can remember some guys behind me talking, "is that a double x 4, he must be mad"

Sounded like a good idea at the time, but I think I'd had a few beers by that point.
