belt drive

nope.....daft ideal imo.....
I think the whole belt drive thing is fairly new on large scale RC.
I have seen a few guys run it on the X-Maxx and said there was no drawbacks. It ran quieter and the only complaint was a longer setup time getting the belt tension right.
In my mind's eye I could see this being more flexible in bashing scenarios possibly saving you from damaged gears.

Definitely better than gears but I've never seen one for a Baja
Been running one for years.
They don't strip or break teeth like gears and are not only quieter but don't produce heat like gears do.
Belts last forever.

Well there's gotta be a reason they are not available anymore. What works usually sticks around and what doesn't falls to the wayside
And not to mention the gearbox would have to be redesigned. With a stock setup the pinion and spur gear spin in opposite directions. With a belt drive they would spin the same direction, making your wheels spin in reverse

Is this the same belt drive like fg 4wd? Or are we talkinf about something else? if it is the same then it rocks coz fg fly
This is mine on my Redcat.
The guy that makes em runs a CNC machine shop and only makes em in his spare time
Never seen em for anything else except the Carbon Fighter

That looks epic bet it has virtually no noise.
Some harley Davidson bikes have belt drive seems to work grwat for them why not in a rc setup?

I'd forgotten how noisy the gears were until then.

I have seen 11mm wide gears on ebay used for 3d printers (in aluminum and stainless steel)
I wonder if a standard belt would hold up? The gears range $3.00 to $15.00 on eBay. Seems like a cheap and effective mod.

As long as they have the correct bore and tooth size they should be OK.
If you change diameters you will have to find belts to fit.
I've had no probs with the stock belt
