Re: Belts in a Drivetrain
Added our experience with Versa blocks. We like them. Easy to tension. Sprocket centers just where the calculator said they should be. Two speed versa gearbox with 36/30 belt drive to the center wheel which drives the outboard wheels. Outboard wheels are driven by 30 tooth pulleys Started with 9mm belts all around. We changed the primary drive belt to 15mm because the 9mm belts were breaking. We have left the outboard drive 9mm with slightly less tension that allows them to ratchet rather than break.
We are using Cheesy Poof style control which seems to help with ramping the violent direction changes.

Reason: Added drive pulley tooth count
