Rhino Track Belt Replacement

Rhino Track teams, are you considering ease of belt replacement in your design?

Just wondering if belt replacement is going to be an issue, and not knowing how the belts will hold up, got me thinking we should plan for being able to replace a belt between Matches.

In looking at the AndyMark Bumper Kit, has anyone installed this, and can the bracket be removed quickly of needed, or does the plywood and bumper need to be removed to access the fasteners?

Running a Blown Alcohol car with shift points at 10,500 rpm sometimes caused our blower belts to leave the vehicle, sometimes in spectacular fashion.... So belt replacement was an issue.

Anyone thinking of this in their design?
