Default HPI Sprint 2 BulkHead Question

Should I cut the front bulkhead too? My rear is already cut but my front bulkhead is not. I did get some stuff in the front today but I am not sure cutting it will have the same affect cutting the rear does or it might make it worse.

Well its really up to you i did the front and back and ive seen a signifigant change in my belts life expectancy even though i have to replace the rear belt right now but it was already shreded because the bulkheads wernt cut yet but it lasted a while even damaged but ive only replaced one front belt thankfully

How long have you had it?

My friend had his belts still for a while now with only half the bulkhead cut. About a year and half. Oirgonal belts still intact. And he drifts on everything.

well he is lucky but ive had my sprint 2 7 or 8 months now the original belt lasted 6 months with only half the rear bulkhead gone because the day i got it i started doing the diff mod and its about to have its fifth rear belt installed the original belt lasted for so long because it literally never left my driveway and if it did i would stop the car and go pick it up off the street because i didnt even want to chance shredding the rear belt but as i got better at drifting i needed more room so i started driving on the street and thats when i went through all those belts i decided to complete the diff mod so its strongly suggested to do it ask anybody here and you will get the same answer and its not hard to do but you will need a small hand saw or jewelry saw ill post a pic or two of my chassis after the mod
