Eagle recently released a new belt tensioner for the the R31 GRT chassis. This new belt tensioner is to be located on the rear pulley assembly for tensioning of the longer middle belt. The new belt tensioner is made of aluminum and comes ready to be mounted on an Eagle Racing R31 GRT chassis. This new Eagle belt tensioner appears to be compatible with all R31 based chassis. This belt tensioner is useful for counter-steer CS modified drifters that require small amount of belt tensioning.

Looks nice but I never liked tensioners on the tight side of the belt
That is a very valid argument! As long as everything is tensioned properly you should not have to worry about that aspect 🙂
Eh, I notice a bit of slacking under high power on the bench. I picked one up so that I don’t have to run the stock one as tight since I was already odering. This piece also has flanged washers to guide the belt.
