Belt drive for my 5T

[CyberVet65]

I got lucky and snagged a Stern belt drive off e-bay for my Rampage MT. And I want a belt drive for my Baja 5T. I have gone to the web site and of course it is all in German. I can get around that but to ship from Germany it is almost $300 USD.
Does anyone have a belt drive for sale?
Thanks

I've not seen anyone offering belt drives for the Losi 5T. How does the belt drive seem to be working out for you on the Rampage?

I have a redcat xsc,, which uses the similar drive to mcd,, anyway,, you can get belt drives for them from 7075rc,,, read mixed reviews on them,, know a local guy with the belt drive,,,,, rough on belts,,, keeping pulleys tight,, lots of time parts not in stock etc,,, I think you can get parts to maybe make one from scratch,,, www.sdp-si.com I think that is where they get the parts for the redcats, not sure though,,

Love the belt drive. Very quiet and not a lot of mass to get rolling. So far I have had zero problems with it. That is why I am looking for one for my Baja.
The MT is heavy especially with the stock tires. It really gets it rolling quick.

RCDAD was the original vendor for the belt drives and rc7075 was making custom backing plates. Then the source dried up. RCDAD couldn't get any systems. I have asked DDM if they could look into it. There seems to be enough interest to stock an inventory. Here's hoping.
