NuttyProfessor Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Is there no tensioner? Check the driveline for any obstruction and/or stones. Also check the pulleys, if there is a stone in a tooth, it will knacker the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastish eddie Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 from what i have read else where if you have put a larger pully on you need a larger belt. have a trawl throught this you might find the info you need http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric-road/447539-3racing-sakura-zero-s-223.html hope that helps Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokr90 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hey, erm I bought it assembled so I wouldn't know off the top what pulleys are on it :-/ I might on the safe side slacken it a bit ? But I'll get pics up tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Wheels Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The bearing holder for the diff is mounted eccentrically and you can adjust the tension with them. If you are looking at the left one then you need to turn the hub clockwise to loosen it or anticlockwise to tighten. Obviously reversed on the opposite side. Also be careful not to over-tighten the little bolts that lock them in place as they only screw into plastic and it's really easy to strip the plastic thread. Lock tight is your friend Not sure about the groove will have to see pics to get a good idea of what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokr90 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 It was a stone that caused the groove, in the same place as the groove there is paint stripped off the motor, obv where it's caught, But thanks anyway, erm just wondering, Why is my back right wheel clicking ? Also the suspension well the movement is hard and also clicks, like gives way after the click ? Also would anyone recommend a servo that is good for centering and speed ? Thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuttyProfessor Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The savox ain't cheap but mine has been in at least 6 vehicles and its still spot on, might need to run a BEC though because they do get power hungry especially in a drifter where you are constantly tweaking your angles, if your esc has less than a 3 amp BEC, get a Hobbyking one that's 6v with 3 amp or more, steering will be super quick to react Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
