Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8496  Name: Desert Hammer
* 
8496-1 (Inv) Desert Hammer
510 Parts, 2008
Sets: Racers: Power Racers

* Change 2 Part Red {x89 Rubber Belt Large (Round Cross Section) - Approx. 4 x 4 to x37 Rubber Belt Medium (Round Cross Section) - Approx. 3 x 3}
* Change 2 Part Black {6628 Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges and Tow Ball (Undetermined Type) to 6628a Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges and Tow Ball with Round Pin Hole}

Comments from Submitter:
I did not get a pic snapped of the lowball before opening the bag. The red band was more complicated than I expected because of the band holder that misshapes bands. To my eye the red on looked thinner and smaller. X37 and X89 are close in size, which is why there were so many inventories that had them wrong. The only way I could get a convincing pic was putting them on my caliper together and gently stretching. You will see that the red one becomes taut before the blue one. I wanted to get all of that expressed before adding the circumstantial evidence that the LEGO data says the set should have a red X37 and that making this change in our inventory finally eliminates the notion of a red X89 from ever having existed.
