I finally killed the rear belt on my Slingshot today. I've found one on the bay for way more than I would like to pay. Does anyone have any info on another that will fit from either another Kyosho car or perhaps another manufacturer.

Can You give me a tooth count. I´ll check my short belts then

The belt has 67 teeth. I believe it is a 3mm pitch belt and it is 5mm wide.

Shouldn’t be any problem to find a replacement, all Kyosho belts are industrial standard!

I have one here with the count of 64 from a newer Kyosho - how many times did You count Yours

I've counted mine 4 separate times, 67 looks to be the count. What car did the belt with 64 teeth come from? I would like to find the industrial equivalent to save a bit of coin if I can. The markings on the belt have worn off with time.

The part number from my Slingshot manual is OR-10 if it helps. My rear belt has Bridgestone S3M201 Made In USA 49 printed on it and it has 67 teeth.

It came from an onroad kit like this: http://www.rctech.net/forum/attachments/r-c-items-sale-trade/875817d1328816088-new-kyosho-f-ten-f10-f-10-new-1-8-1-9-1-10-nitro-nib-imag0062.jpg

If you google “belt S3M201” you get lots of hits

Appreciate the assistance, still no luck on finding an actual supplier for the belt in question, even using the part number from the belt itself. I'm going to have to do a bit more research and make a few phone calls to see if I can track something down.

that's nothing a razor blade couldn't fix.

yeah, this thread has a couple pictures of my belt cutting jig, second page:

I ordered the part of ebay, cost an arm and 1/2 a leg to get the car going. I'm going to order a couple from SDI next week and cut them to size.
