Belt drive on dune runner?

[Guest]

Probably would have to trim the body up some.

 

[Deluge]

Probably. Shouldn't be too hard, though.

I just ordered up some aluminum pulleys. I ordered 12t, 15t, 22t, and 24t. They have a 6mm bore that'll increase to 8mm. I didn't order a tensioner b/c I need to figure that one out when things are coming together. I also ordered some belts from 9.8"-12.2" in circumference. I made some measurements; I hope my math is somewhat close. The belts are 15mm wide w/ a 5mm pitch and a breaking force of over 900 lbf/in (to be honest I have no idea if that's strong enough). This should be a learning experience.

I don't plan on getting this done real soon but I wanted to make some progress.

Awesome! Let us know how it holds up. Should be interesting.

Looks like a drag car.

thanks guys that's kinda the look i'm going for. Now i just need to find a nice set of drag slicks and rims

 

[Guest]

Hostile slicks are awesome.

You could run the 5b rears or if you needed a taller final ratio you could run the 5t rear.

These are 5b rears on the back

Do you have a link where to get those? What hex size are those?

 

[Guest]

They are 24mm hex for all the Baja wheels.

Here are the tires. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.6463/.f

I'm quite fond of the BRP drag tires. They look awesome.
