Your lucky! I live in the U.S. and Tamiya USA took forever even to show the 511 Upgrade set to be available, it took months after it showed up on the USA site when other countries Like the UK already had their kits in hand months prior! They still dont even have a pic of the upgrade set on the Tamiya USA site, but its listed. When I punch in the # for the belts on the USA site it says there is no Item with that #. Now granted I can order from overseas, which I have, but I still have not seen these belts listed by anyone yet. Tamiya USA is like the last to have any of their New Products. The good News is if anyone decides to just use the 37 tooth pulleys and 369mm belts, the 39 tooth pulleys and 372mm belts will be the only thing from the upgrade set they wont be able to use from the kit if they need belts, so its not a total wash! It's still pretty sad though, 8 months and the belts are not easily/readily available, nor are any replacement parts. Oh well, time will tell.
