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

For this cheap I may give it a try!

I think the TLT had a belt way back then. The SCX belt unit is from within the past 4 or 5 years? If it sucks it's only $15 lost, no biggie.

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!"thumbsup" I like the looks of them rails!

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

Some images below of my new build. The Injora/Amazon belt drive unit has been adapted to the Amazon SCX10 dig trans. Had to steal the top shaft from the Builders Kit SCX10 trans to make it work. 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!"thumbsup" 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.
