I love how quite it is also!! Love being able to hear the tires chew on the rocks!! Get demo on the belt drive system

I love how quiet that is. I’d love one quiet rig for when I go hiking in state parks. Otherwise I like the motor noise. Helps you know how much power you’re putting into it.

Yessss I’m so glad to see you test this cause I’ve been thinking about it for my 10ii

Keep in mind that timing belts don't need to be tight. you'll be surprised at how loose they can be and still work perfectly.

I tried it loose, it skipped way too easily.

Another great video, this belt drive system performs very well.

Great test, very much appreciated. I love a quiet truck and was very curious how much quieter it'd be, and it sounds great. Also those clutch gearboxes being quite unpopular in comparison to planetary front mounted and all those divorced transmission types, well they have one major advantage of being able to run a belt.

Thanks for testing. Its awesome how quite ist is.

Unbelievable torque it seems! Great silent video!

Thanks for demoing this for us I was wondering about it

Im running one of these on my ifs swapped sandscorcher bodied capra (built for speed) and it works excellent, very quiet, geared perfect for a quicker rig, and also seems to help absorb shock and prevent broken parts.

literally just installed mine on my Mav scout, the scout is so dang low geared stock anyway so it wasn;t too bad on it. I have a huge whine coming from the huge spur gear of the scout, and now that i put the belt on, its so dang quiet which i like. Torque seems to still be there so it wasn;t so bad on my rig, i actually really like how quiet it is.. You are right, it does gear it up a bit more due to the smaller size of the belt "spur" great vid though dude! (2 years later, still getting responses hahah)

I'm still waiting for mine in the post . I want to set it up with the Fusion for super quiet driving on a SCX10.2

I have belt drives on both my rigs. I can tell you I run them a lot looser than you have it in this video. The belt does eat more battery, but running it looser helps. Also high speed runs heat up the belt.

Belts are 1 step forward and 2 steps back for crawlers. You get a quieter setup but at the expenses of efficiency, durability and compatibility. It was also interesting how it reacted on your bench testing. You could see the chassis torque twisting back and forth much more for some reason.

One of my friends has a Vanquish rig, with an Axe 2300KV in it and runs this set up. The original set up used a metal spur and pinion and the noise off of it was excessive when trailing at speed. Plenty of motor and with it's portals it was already very low geared and could have done with being geared up a little like this seems to do.

Interesting on a crawler, super quiet 💪🏾💯

Great job on producing Awesome video's and information for the enthusiasts! Would be interesting to figure out what the difference in motor turns or KV would be required to compensate for the change from the gears to belt/pulley ratio. Do you think a 27t to 35t would be enough, or would it be more extreme like a 55t?

I also think you have the belt pretty tight. Loosen it up a little bit. You can also get the different sized pulleys to get it closer to the original ratio.

I put 1 of these on my umg10 6x6. It was beyond quiet! 👍 U can hear everything EXCEPT for the spur/pinion gear noise.

I'd like to see how it'll run on your gen 8 with an axe combo, just to see how much more quiet it'll be.

great info,like the look of the truck

You should try the quiet revolver v2 esc with this set-up, curious how even more quiet it would be !!!

I installed one on my redcat gen 7 with scx10ii axles and traxxas vxl3s brushed system 21t motor i found that the belt has to be loose on the pully (pinion) gear i go in mud and water it works flawlessly for me i love it

2.2 fling king on the bomber!!! That would be awesome!!

It’s definitely whisper quite! I wonder if that would take the high pitch noise out of one of your others? It’s definitely cool. At first I thought it was like a cvt drive. But it’s very cool none the less.

I'd never seen a belt drive like that on an RC. I wonder what the best use for it would be. Great video!

WE used to race belt drives on the g1 optima mids, & on the dominators back in the mid 80's.

Great information 👍

You should try the MechaPlus belt drive, gives you a lot more reduction.

I bought the same belt kit for mine. I'm running 3s battery, 40 turn 4wd motor, and the stock motor gear "spur gear?". And mine is closer to 10lbs

Something about that super light that just does it for me.

A test on the gen 8 would be fantastic since it’s such a loud truck

If it were geared a bit different I believe it would be really nice on the trail. Maybe a puller pro or something like that.

Can definitely see more torque twist in the chassis when you had it on the bench. Sounds nice though.

I could see this being good for a basher more than crawler it seems like it would be good as an overload clutch

I've always heard those called Gilmer belt drive pullies

Super quiet. I like it.

My thoughts on it but im new to this hobby anyway i think its better because the gears wont chip and brake the teath

Is there a link you can share for a gen8 carbon chassis?

I almost grabbed one with my order when I seen heat in the reviews I said NOPE lol.

Looking for this belt a system. Is there replacement belts available

Hello. I put this kit on my axial and it is too weak now, the engine is 55t but it warms up quickly, the battery runs out quickly.

I wonder if that would work on a redcats gen 7 pro/sports

Are you installl it with clutch?

To keep it lightweight maybe a 3BROS G12 servo

This belt drive I found to small ..but the othere one on the market that bolts to the slipper clutch is alot bigger and better gearing

Really interesting and valuable !! I agree with your conclusions and add these: - belt is more exposed to moisture and degrade - add stress to spur and pinion axle - a bit of elastic may give more traction (I compare to motor bike where chain is really better than direct drive shaft with cardan joint

Hi nice video big question Wich kit do you install? The 3.2mm.or the 5.0mm? Please let me know and again I like you videos 🤙

@samuelmeigs

2 жыл бұрын

The 3.2mm is for a standard 540/550 motor shaft. 5mm would be for the large shaft like a 1/8 scale motor.

These things kill motor bushings in no time at all (most brushed motors), even my 3d printer came with a similar setup for the extruder, i quickly replaced it with herringbone gears.

Sounds good for a trail truck

this would be amazing for my Crapra.... so much gear noise... Why does it need all metal gears when my erevo 2.0 vxl does just fine with over 3000 watts on my tpperformance motor on plastic gears? Heck, I grenaded one of it's huge diffs without damaging the plastic spur gear.

Don't like belt drive, but it breaks down, like a real truck, hopefully 🤔 you can use revolver V2 it's more sound of silence, and competition wise too.🤨🧙👍🏗️☕

i have to real honest ive have the same kit on my stock injora rc buggy with 2s for 2 weeks . 1/10 Electric Touring Car have been using them for years no problem . so if the belt is to tight then motor will get hot . its cogged so it needs al most zero tension . even my gas power oval car is belt drive

I took mine back off. Geared to high. Definitely quieter

what are the orange bands on pullies for? Got out of crawling for a minute never seen that before.
