We are actually using 15mm belts with center to center spacing, which does not need tensioning. One belt run is actually inside of the tube, and the other belt run is outside of the tube, and you can see those pulleys on the front wheels.

Yes and no, there are a lot of changes (wider belt, different size tube, gussets instead of welding, AL not PVC belly pan, moving to two belts, different reduction, and different bumper mounts) that make this significantly different from last years chassis. It is still without bearing blocks and a few other staples of the standard 254/973/1323 WCD, but it is closer to that design than ours from last year.
