I am excited to see the GT2 pulleys and tube axle components - they'll open up many new possibilities, thank you!

I have heard that GT2 belts are built stronger than HTD belts (especially in Gates Carbon), but can you confirm? Are 9mm wide GT2 belts capable of carrying drivetrain loads, when we've only been able to use 15mm HTD belts safely before? If so, could this be a path for West Coast chasses with fixed axles / no tensioners?
