FG F1 Sportsline: front belt tensioner

[Cassius]

Even though the front belt tensioner is installed and mounted as high as possible there is still some slack left in the belt. Is that normal?

Information seems a bit scarce on the F1

thanks for your time and help

I'd say you want it tight but not enough to bind things... ya not much at all. I am flying blind with mine as well.

Thanks mate. Can you get a pic of your belt and tensioner?

I'll take a picture of mine tonight.

try looking at www.rctek.com, they have pages of info on F1 cars.

Thanks mate, it's indeed a helpful site. It turns out my belt is all fine and if it's too sloppy I can move the engine a bit and it would tighten it.
