We'll see how it holds up at Davis. It has been working pretty well thus far after the drivetrain was tuned.
The timing belt drivetrain is nice, but it's best to run force calculations to see how it'll hold up. Belt doesn't stretch like chain does, and its quieter and a bit more efficient. It is also lighter. This, coupled with the fact that we have 2 inch wheel means we should be able to get to where we want to go on the field.
The extra traction is useful going up the bridge.
