X5 PULLEY

[MOGGIE XL]

I'm rebuilding an X5 SQUARED and was wondering what pulleys are best.
It looks to have XX4 ones in at the moment but I also have some black
ones and some bigger white ones.

We found at the end the best ones were the XX4 rear diff pullies....

I'll keep it as it is then.Should I stick with the XX4 pulley in the middle.
Thanks for helping.

We used XX4 pullies in the front, middle (XX4 rear diff ones on both) and centre (XX4 rear belt pulley) at the end combined with the Losi Yellow XXX4 belt. Once a belt roller was istalled close to the layshafts and one of the DMS belt cover stiffeners was fitted the transmission was the free-est it had ever been but also skipped far less than any other combination we ever ran....

Ok thanks for that I'll get started as soon as I get the new spur gear.

Even on super high grip astro - no skip??? Is that possible?

When we ran our "DMS" spurs, with the AE pads instead of the Losi pucks (which were useless) then yes, no skip, little bit of slipper working initially, but lots of drive still.......

As for the blue belts a huge from me, they were the worst ones by an absolute mile, lost their teeth regular, snapped often and skipped more than a bush kangaroo, it was yellow all the way for me (just make sure it was the wider XXX4 version and NOT the thinner XXXS Touring Car one - this may have been your issue with yellow belts).
