Re: Diagnosing Belt Skip Under Load
We have almost the exact same setup and we were slipping belts too. We were able to fix it by doing a few things. We haven't slipped a tooth since.

Re: The Triple Tortuga is Contest born.
Beat me to it! Amazingly, they were all stuck on the same defense, drawbridge. Is that some kind of super triple tortuga?!
