Did the belt brake or did the teeth get chewed off? how long is the belt? How tight was it? Are you going to auto X, road race or both? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 9:42 AM Subject: [F500] Autox and belts
Hi all- I took the Red Devil to its first autox yesterday, and ran into a little snag: I broke the drive belt (is that what we call the one that isn't part of the CVT?) on my second run. It broke somewhere near the start... I'd guess on a rational level that it broke on the launch, but I swear I had power for at least the 1st 20 feet, and I did get up enough speed to coast well off the course. Anyway, I have a spare belt, so I can replace that, but I'm wondering if there is any autox specific trick that should be employed to keep this from happening again. Different tension? Driver adjustments? Thanks for the tips, -Chris ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection. ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
