Default belts and so

Hello, my name is Miroslav, I'm from Czech Republic and until now I was just the reader.

I wondered how the special order works? Is there just the way through local Tamiya supplier or can I contact Tamiya myself?

Belts and pulleys are one of the parts that breaks most in my experience. I think they should really make it widely available. I managed to strip three rear belts and three rear pulleys at my 501, because of no diff covers and stone got under the rear pulley. Month ago I bought brand new 511, bought second handed unbuilt and I would really like to upgrade it with the new chassis, but I'm simply worried that I might experience some belts/pulleys problems as well. I can imagine, that then I would wait 3 months before Tamiya will ship parts to Europe. I already have the Fredriks diff covers for my 511, but worried still - I never broke anything else then belts and pulleys on my TRF buggies.
