The GPM SCX1660TS gearbox belt drive for the AXIAL SCX10 III Jeep JT Gladiator pairs 6061-T6 aluminium components with rubber elements to deliver enhanced structural rigidity and improved shock tolerance. The design focuses on quieter operation and longer service life for drivetrain components.
This belt driven solution reduces gearbox noise and mitigates shaft feedback when compared to metal gear trains. Technicians should note that belt drives generally provide lower peak power transfer than gear drives. Confirm motor shaft diameter before fitting; a 3.175mm shaft is required for proper installation.
Begin by seating the original gearbox metal plate into its mount. Choose the correct friction disc and position it within the pulley groove, then press the bearing into the central bore. Refit the original metal plate, install the anti-skid spring and secure with the nut. Position the two gears close enough to loop the belt, then fine tune gear spacing to establish correct belt tension.
