If I'm seeing that right, it is $7 and change for the complete belt drive system! I must be missing something!!!!

For this cheap I may give it a try!

The build is coming along nicely going older school with some 5" 2.2 Rock Claws. Now just waiting for the SOA mount

This looks mean! Great job on the build! I like the looks of them rails!

Yeah, you're right. I read the description and options wrong.

Chassis is the $59 PowerHobby LCG chassis meant for the SCX10 and it is of good quality and very adjustable. Axles are the Gen 7 kit Portals kit. These axles are key to making things work because their 2/1 ratio at the portals should more than compensate for the much taller/faster belt drive ratio.

Cool looking LCG rig! The more I look at it and hear about it, the more I'm liking it. I may have to pick one of these chassis' up to give it a try.

Have you had a chance to try out the belt drive system? I just picked up a 2 pack of the belt drive and was wondering how it is working out.
