Will the belt drive work even if you change gears for higher top speed?

The belt drive replaces the gears. The gears come off the belt drive goes on. :)
 
The belt drive fits all vehicles... with the dunerunner, you will have to cut the plastic side cover a bit to get it around the belt drive, but other than that, it is a bolt on for all the Redcat Gass 1:5th scale vehicles
 
They are always available. I took the kits down that used the factory gear plates because 7075RC is making us personalized RC PitStop plates. They should be in soon. If someone needs one sooner I can make a kit using the Redcat gear plate. It would be the same cost.
 
take a look at RCPitstop's website (left side of the screen) and you can read about it. The Gearplate has to be changed out, but RCPitstop has sub-contracted that part with 7075 RC and they have made up some bad ass replacement gear plates which make the stock ones look cheap :)
 
The kit was actually designed on the Dune Runner branded a different name in Germany.
 
Yeah, if they don't get me something soon, I'll be looking at having pulleys made myself. I've been asking for like 9 months now. I've expressed the large quantity I would purchase. They tell me they are currently working on a multi ratio kit. I am still looking into a new supplier for the pulleys.
 
Sent my 2 pulleys off 2 buddies machine shop while waiting on plate :) if all goes well ill have a few different sizes to play around with in a couple weeks :)
 
I'd love to look into this. I'm going to be buying tooling for my mill so I can turn small parts (i.e. lathe work). But I need to know where do you get the belts from? Also, are there any detailed pictures of the current set up. For me, I need to keep my low gear ratio (maybe even lower) so fabin' up my own pulleys is ideal. Of course I'll share my pictures and progress w/ everyone.
 
Cool, I might see Brian tomorrow, I can talk to him about it. If that belt if for a higher gear ratio than what I have in mind I might be able to still use it but make an idler to take up the slack.

That German supplier has a carbon fiber "extension" that moves the plastic guard out from the chassis. Not sure if the body will still fit though.
