We've had a lot of success with using belts in the drive system. It does not provide any more efficiency than chain, but it just makes the drive a bit cleaner. If you space them correctly, they'll never break and rarely slip. We've gone through 5 event seasons with no upkeep necessary.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me!
