Just to clarify for my own knowledge, there should be little to no performance issues using 9mm wide belts compared to using 15mm wide belts (like those in this year's KoP) assuming they both have the same tooth profile? I'm currently working on a practice sheet metal chassis using belts and I'm trying to make the wheel wells as thin as possible but I don't want to compromise performance for space. Thanks,
