Need new driven buttons?

[nick956]

Do I need new buttons on my driven? I have a loud noise when in high rpm that sound like within the driven. Sorry I dont have the video but have a pic

If they are worn you can just use the non worn buttons that are already on the driven. Have you cleaned/lubed the driven?

 

[nick956]

So like just flip the buttons the other way? Also I lube with dry graphite also like the driver?

yea its best to take it apart, clean it really good with a brush(like brass or wire brush if its really bad) then lube.

Ok will do

Also how long should a belt last? 2 years?

IMO...

If EVERYTHING is PERFECT... on a norm, a belt has the ability of lasting 2yrs, yes, however... most of the time, dirt/sand/belt slipping/heat/pulley burrs/and general 'kart abuse' are some 'main' factors to equate for wear time.

In comparison to what you are asking, I ask you this... how long will an ice cube last?... all depends on conditions and actions to it, as to how long it will be.

I know this dont answer your question exactly... but it's the closest to the fact that most will tell you.

I am not too sure, but 2 years sounds reasonable

Im asking cause I remember when it was new the belt fit flush with the driven and easily engaged but now I can see it going deep into driven and looks skinny compared now

Also its not Kevlar and I bought it September 3,2012 . Its been abused and slipped a few times
