TLT-1 drive belt? Anyone? Bueller?

Pt # 6244004

Nobody has them, and they're discontinued from Tamiya already....(???)

Truck TLT-1 mini, Rock Buster is worthless without it.

Any help appreciated.......

Cool thanks. I'll call them. Most places list it, but they get it from Tamiya, and it's discontinued. The part number YOU posted, (TA624004) lead me to another place that had 2 in stock, which I prompty order.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I believe the original version of the truck, with the 540 motor and built for more speed oriented, had an issue with the belts slipping and breaking. Now, the truck seems to be reintroduced with more of a "Crawler" image, but with limited parts availability, through Tamiya.

It's a great truck. Just not worth much beltless. I was about to buy som other belts, and try them, and/or install some sort of belt tensioning sytem between the bulkheads to solve the problem.

Having the right part will make life easier.
