A loose belt is a happy belt.
I usually run belts in belt-drive cars as loose as I can without it falling/slipping off.

I received my Raider yesterday afternoon. http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo190/tsan_/kyosho%20raider/th_IMG_0037.jpg http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo190/tsan_/kyosho%20raider/th_IMG_0003.jpg http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo190/tsan_/kyosho%20raider/th_IMG_0001.jpg More details/pics are...

Not to mention the fact that so few tracks are truly off road anymore. They are smooth, hard pack and fast, and the cars don't need as much travel as they used to.

I entered the first 4 letters of TAMIYA in ebays search bar... look what the first suggestion is:

You said 'you can still get parts'...are these kits on their way out? Does Kyosho not produce parts for older models? Why would RTR parts not be available? I can only speak for the FS & SP versions, because those are the only versions of lazer I've had. (I've bought parts for both of those duri...
