I think a belt-drive 1/8 buggy would be cool. As for the flimsy-ness of belts, the solution is to go with a stronger one . Some day in the future I would totally want to make a belt-drive 1/8 buggy, but it would be custom made so I could play around with different belt widths, pitches, and materials.

Heck I just thought about converting our normal ring gear bevel diffs into suitable belt-driven bevel diffs: just machine an adapter (like that adapter that would allow the old plastic Ofna 51t spur gear to fit on other diffs), and mount a machined pulley to it. Everything else would be cake.


SH Z-Car, Custom Crawler, 8s Savage, 12s XTM XLB 1/7 buggy, 4wd 4-link rear/IFS Pro4 truck, Custom Hyper 10 Short Course, Belt-Drive Mammoth ST 1/8 truggy, 4s 17.5 MM Pro HPI Blitz
