BD-498L Front Drive Belt for Yokomo BD7-2015 Forward Motor Conversion  [BD-498L]

Front-drive routing belt for BD7-2015 conversions

The Yokomo BD-498L front drive belt is intended for BD7-2015 vehicles that have been altered to a forward motor layout. Supplied as a single replacement item, it completes the front-drive path required by the conversion and is suitable for routine servicing of the front drive components.

Fitment tips: route the belt according to the forward-motor conversion diagram for BD7-2015, verify that pulleys are correctly aligned, and use a moderate tension setting to avoid skipping while preserving free rotation. Inspect pulley teeth and belt edges during installation and re-tension after an initial run to secure consistent engagement.

Tuning considerations: belt condition and tension influence how the drivetrain responds under acceleration and steering inputs. Properly set tension reduces backlash and keeps handling consistent, whereas an overly tight belt raises friction and adds load to bearings.
