Default RE: Nasty 1/10 scale on-road cars using .21 or larger engines....come inside

nitrohead, man I wouldn't pay that much for that .19 engine when the .18 TZ makes virtually the same power for $160......lol. I am sure that they made the .19 for class specific truck racing with a better rod than the .18 TZ but for $469.......for what? What do you have in mind for the V1RRR? What scares me about the belt driven cars for the 1/10 scales is the smaller belt will break. I've seen it already from the torque that the .21 puts out. Look at the 1/8 scale cars that are designed to use a .21 anyways, they use a wider belt and rarely break at all unless a rock pebble gets in between the teeth and strips it. That is the ONLY reason I never did a belt driven car to use a .21 in it.
