According to the parts listings for a TA03F and TA03R, available on the
TamiyaUSA site, the standard drive belt has the same part number for both,
so logically the aramid re-inforced belt should fit either chassis.

i just saw that in the copy of the guide book i have. can't believe i
didn't think to look in there.
well, this means i can order all the stuff to convert a TA03F to R,
from Tamiya.
thanks to all for the info.

Having a look here:
http://www.rocousa.com/tamiya/TA03.htm
There is a long (TA03 Fiber Drive Belt (long) Item # TA53267) and short
(TA03R-S Aramid Fiber Drive Belt (short) Item # TA53297) belt.
I don't own either of these but hopefully this has helped you out.
Cheers

To add a little more to this from what I read in the specifications on the
Tamiya US site between the F and the R or RS chassis's is that the F chassis
has a wheel base of 257mm and the R chassis has a wheel base of 237mm hence
the long and short belts.

couldn't edit the previous reply. both of the "S" models have the 239
wheelbase and the TA03F and TA03R have the 257 wheelbase.

these two belts listed are actually for two different versions of the
TA03 chassis.
the long belt is for the TA03F (and from the replys here) also for the
TA03R chassis.
the short is for the short wheelbase versions of each (designated by
the suffix "S"), TA03R-S and TA03F-S.
