RC300 belt drive... NO MORE DEAD SPUR GEARS!!!

Post by Taylorm »

1/8 pan car racing has come back here in a BIG way in Toledo. I have tried to run my RC300 cars at the track with little
success. First i made adapters to use modern tires. The big spur gears that are required to run to get the proper ratio
cause all kinds of problems. First , you cant run the tires down at all or the spur hits and destroys itself. Second, finding spurs is like finding hens teeth. My solution? Double reduction belt drive. Still a work in progress. When i was able to
run my 300 the handling is FAR superior to any modern floating front beam import like WRC or Motonica chassis. Also the 300 is more bulletproof...The saga will contiunue..pictures tonight
