Cripes, that's a ton! Who knew that such tiny changes could have such an effect...
The difference between trapezoidal and HTD is just as great somehow. It's a shame that GT2/GT3 is patented, otherwise Vex would be able to produce them (I think?). Does anybody know why Vex doesn't use GT2?
Also, can GT2/GT3 belts be used with HTD pulleys, and what effect does that have?
