Front Drive O-ring part # on 1/6th for those interested.

[JUSTAHOBBY]

Part # 8d35817926- this is a 1- 13/16 O-ring purchased from Advanced Auto Parts. They are plentiful in most communities. Its a tad smaller than stock belt, but not so much so to overwelm electronics. grips good. This is for the front.

[NickRummy]

thank you sir

got a price with that?

[JUSTAHOBBY]

67 Cents, Tax Included. I hope I gave the correct Part Number, its the number listed by the bar code on the bottom of the package, None the less you should be able to locate it with that number.

[MTUJeeper]

And what is tax in Charolette NC? lol Thanks for the tip!

[RANOVRU]

I jut picked up mine today and the # you have listed is not only NOT the part #, but it's also different than what's on my back.

The # you listed is the skew #, and mine reads 8035817924


At least, that's what the guy at Advanced told me. Just thought I'd post a heads up...

[KevanRay]

beeeeeeeeee careful. I tried one awhile back and it put so much stress on the axle i broke it on both sides. I'll take pics of it if you dont believe me lol. Thay work well until that happens though. They also have a size for the back too. Same thing happened back there though.

[JUSTAHOBBY]

In the first post, I stated it was for the front only, In my next post I stated I was unsure if that was a part number, so a skew number could be correct.

i have had better luck with a o-ring in the front and front belt in the rear. I put a o-ring in the rear and 30 minutes later i busted it. The rear grips really well and can get axle wrap. I think cause of weight dist. that an oring in the rear is to much stress with no play.

I just made a post on this but there is no need to purchase an O-ring for the rear or to get a slightly smaller belt.

All you need is a hobby knife and some CA.

The belts are made of Buta-N (nitrile) if you cut approx 9.6mm off the rear belt and use a small drop of CA to reglue it, you will have a slighlty smaller belt and it will stop the rear slippage.

[mudslinger74]

what type of glue is it and where can you get it

[vlmarshall]

CA!

'superglue'! Available at your local hobby shop.


...ok, everywhere ELSE, too...I was just promoting hobby shops!

[nic99]

so super glue works as ca glue is it the same strenth

[3Crawlers]

so i have heard of spraying belt dressing on it how does that work if i just put one small spary on the pullies

if not what is the best oring to use for the front and what is the best for the rear?

[DRT_Blndmn]

hello, i am VRY new here and to rc's.....there was mention of a o-ring being try'd, well my rearend was slipp'n the belt, so i went to my local t.v./vcr repair shop. (been there b4 for vcr belts) and remember the kazillian differant sizes he had on the wall-HMMMMMMMMMMMM... he hook me up w/ a belt that fits awesum... it is (SBL) square belt lenght 6.7, alittle pricey for what it is,($6.50), but if'n it keeps sumthing else from break'n its wurth it in my eye ...

[SlammedMini469]

for those of you wondering if plain ol superglue will work, i just took an old vacuum cleaner belt and cut it.....then i glued it back together with Loctite Brush On Super Glue and i cant get it to pull apart

[SlammedMini469]

thanks for the info snakeeater, no i know EXACTLY what size to look for.....

im going to pick up a couple o-rings for the front and put the front belt in the back......will probably shorten the stock rear belt for a backup

[mudtruk82]

i put the o ring on the front and front belt on the back it works really well in low but when i put in high it cuts on and off is there to much stress on the electronics
could it be the circut on the battery can i take the circut off with out hurting any thing

[12flex]

and your sure that you dont have a dead battery, or that your switch is mounted wrong if a tummy tuck has been done.

[mudtruk82]

the battery just came off the charger charged it for 12 hrs no tummy tuck yet
