Our team uses the AM Servo Shifter for the gearbox. McMaster-Carr carries a cogged V-belt that is designed for use in motor scooters but has the correct spacing and tooth size for use with the Servo Shifter. The back wheel would be mounted onto a slide that would work like the back tire on a bike. Loosen the bolt that secures the back wheel to move the slide forward to loosen the belt for drive train work or belt replacement, sliding the slide backwards re-tightens
the belt.
