wasp belt drive
The pictures shown I believe were from the parts G Stote Dad, Alan and my dad Terry created to turn the original kyosho optima into a belt drive rather than the chain it came with.
I read earlier somewhere that someone thought RW made the spur gears,
To clarify Alan Stote bought a gear cutting machine and produced them on site along with all the other parts for the rc world he made.
I should know.....I spent days at the machine making 48dp and 64dp spurs for various cars. Then dad and alan decided to make a blank that fitted in the slipper clutch and spurs that could be changed without dismantling the slipper tension you'd spent ages sorting out!!
Back then gear ratios were really important for run time, heat and speed so they were being changed a lot more than today!
