i recently came across a entire rc-10 4wd kit complete with car on ebay and got a good deal due to it being mislabeled. the car was dismanteled and everything is there except for the ever elusive belt tensioner. its in excellent shape but the problem is the belt is chewed up and the front pulley is worn. i am trying to track down a sutiable replacement belt since parts are non existing anymore.
has anybody else tried to match up one of these belts? are they a standard size or used on some other type of 4wd car. i tried to look online for a belt but couldnt find one. here are the measurements that i came up with,keep in mind my belt is chewed up and possibly streched. i included inch and metric because i dont know what is used:
1/8" wide or about 3mm
24 1/4" long or 622.3mm circumference of the belt
pitch is about .110" or 2.8mm
204 teeth
another thing is tooth shape is it square,trapezoidal,or round. it looks to be round since the pulley teeth are round.
if anybody has a belt driven touring car if you could measure your drive belts and post the info here that would be very helpful as well.i may be able to use one of thoes if they match up.
