Re: Belts in a Drivetrain

We run 9 mm belts on our 6 CIM 6WD Versa-chassis. We often play a strong defensive position and so far they have held up reasonably well. We've had a few break after hard pushing matches but we believe it was because of them going out of tension. If our center wheel wasn't direct driven we'd probably be more comfortable running 25 chain or a 15 mm belt that can better handle being out of tension.
