And just a question about cars like these. Is belt slap ever a concern? Where the belt cogs hit each other and cause wheel lockup or just momentary loss of power?

How dare you question my design



It’s possible, there is a lot of flex and twisting in the chassis, especially in the rear, so in my case, I’m planning on bracing it to help eliminate some of the flex.

Another thing is tensioning and belt spacers, which are possible solutions and safeguards against the belt running into each other

Genius

Haha, no bad intentions in my questioning. I was actually going to mention exactly what Jeff did if you hadn’t already made a plan for it. It just looked really close in the pictures I saw

I was just kidding, I wouldn’t have gotten this far without all the suggestions, recommendations, and ideas, so keep them coming

Great ingenuity and craftsmanship. Incredible build! I love seeing what can be done with the RC10. The options are endless

I’m using a 15t front pulley and a 13t rear pulley

Just curious if you have ran this yet?

I ran it a bit in my bedroom, when we get better weather, I’ll put in some electronics and have at it, I can always run it at my local carpet track, but I don’t want to buy tires just to run it there
