Re: Belt drive system

One of the ideas we were thinking of for next season would be to use a single speed transmission with a gear ratio that allows direct drive to power the center wheels (6wd), then use belts to power the outboard wheels. This would require same size pulleys with a relatively simple 1/2" diameter keyed bore.
