|  Belts slipping
Hey everyone, I just got my crawler running today after charging it and the rear belt is already slipping horribly whenever I approach any obstacle for the rear tires to climb it will squeel and not turn the tires. Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks, Christian

Do you know if they dealt with this problem with the new ugraded models? I know they "fixed" the steering supposedly, which would be nice since I can't turn the tires on carpet, lol.

You are in LOW when you are experiencing this squeal whilst trying to scale the obstacle yes?

use a hair tie from your girlfriend or go buy some. Make sure they are the thin ones with no metal pieces to attach the two ends. Then, use one of those for the fron plus the stock band out of the rock crawler. Use two hair ties and the existing band in the back. It's strong as hell and won't slip anymore.

I would like to see pics to help me fix mine. I have the upgraded chasis and it is slipping as-well. I don't understand what you mean by pany hair holder things. Please post pics. And for the record I have a girl friend but she never wears her hair up so I don't know if she has any.

I haven't torn into the axles yet. But is there a way one could out smaller pulley and then an even smaller O ring. This would make lower geared. Right. Just a thought. My not work.

Mine started slipping the other day, pulled both out, hosed the belts and pulleys with brake cleaner, then ran the belts through some 200 grit sandpaper, hosed with cleaner again, put it back together, hell it work so well the high range had a higher top speed. Cheap and easy, actually the factory belt design as a square works like a real v-belt in the way it contacts the pulleys... |

i snap orings, seems the gears in teh first gen chassis along with the steering belt were much better, second time around they got loosersteering belts to keep them from snapping.

Well, I had a girlfriend up until about 2 weeks ago, guess it is back to rosy, she hasn't seen much action in the past 2 years, lol. I swapped in an O-ring and it helped a bit. Sadly my buddy sheared the pitman arm on the thing, so now I gotta fix that.
