Does anybody run anything other than the oem belt for a certain machine? Like what do you run on a 400 scrambler, a stock one or would one from like a 700 work and be any tougher?Need one and kinda curious what everyone else runs.

 

hmm i dont think this subject ever came up, im running a armor tech belt i got last year im not sure how it stands compared to oem its only the 2nd belt i had on it and the guy the redone my tans put it on b/c mine was shot so im not sure if you can put a 700 belt like on a 400

 

I'm running a 700 belt on both my SP400 and the Scrammy. The only difference I notice is in the final downshift there is a little "whine" as the inside grooves of the 700 belt meet up with the shaft on the primary clutch. As far as any better than other belts - I don't know that they are any better - some say they are stronger and will last longer - I just happen to have had 700 belts when I needed to put these on.

 

i would just go with the oem belts then if you have a tranny problem u cant relate it on your new belt. arent they lifetime warrenty

 

I heard a long time ago on one of these web sites that the 700 belt was the way to go. After replaceing a couple stock belts and the hpd heavy duty belt they sell, I decided to go with the 700 belt. It has the top cogs to help cooling I believe and haven't had to replace it since, thats been quite a while now. The only strange thing I've noticed is that when I open up my cover the belt still looks good. lol. Some people will say the harder compound will cause pre mature wear on the clutch sheeves, but the 700 has the same clutch as all the others just with a different set up. I haven't noticed any strange grooves or wear in the sheeves.
