Re: Belts in a Drivetrain
We've used belts a few times and we've had no issues (apart from actually sourcing the parts one time). Some of the key things to remember are, of course, to tension properly, but also make sure that there is nothing caught in the sprockets. This past competition (district event) we had some tape and cables get caught in the sprockets for our drive train and it was not driving properly.
Kitbot has a really nice sprocket system built into it (well, the holes at least), and we've not had any issues with tensioning. If that's an option for you you may want to consider it.
