I do miss drifting it a lot, but when it's this close to completion, I can wait.

Small update: If you own any kind of belt chassis.....BUY SPARE BELTS!!! I just got a new belt and I already stretched it and it's ready to snap. I also ordered the aluminum wipers.

Also, I'm going to order a body soon. It's gonna be this rtr mustang body . My first body i'll ever paint myself.


AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!! I can't wait until it all comes together! Hurry up FedEx and whatever shipping company Tokyo uses.

Something must be setup wrong for you to break and stretch belts. My friends with belt driven chassis usually driven outdoors have had no issues. Should test how things roll by hand first before running it next time.

:^^::omg: Video!!!!!! First time ever drifting rwd(any helpful tips are welcome). Don't laugh at me, I was actually trying to drift lol. It's hard, I might do that rear motor conversion. At the end of the video, you hear me get mad because the pinion came off:wtfSadI don't know how)




I also snapped the rear belt....again. Good thing I have one on the way

Honestly, I don't know:lol:. So far, I think THIS time, it was the cold weather or having a huge 25 tooth pulley and overtightening the belt. I already have another one on the way along with the aluminum steering wipers. I literally can't afford to break anymore belts
