Actually belts stretch much less than chain. In multiple posts by team 125 they talk about there belts not stretching at all after initially tensioning them. they rely on kevlar belt which is very strong stuff. The only positive I see to the chain is that it is easier to change if it breaks. In all other aspects, belt is the superior solution.
