Re: pic: FrameDrive 6wd Concept

Just like in this thread I seem to get mixed answers about belt tensioning as well. Some say tensioning is needed, others say a proper c-c is sufficient for belts.

I did asked a lot of teams that ran the AM14U kit bot chassis this past year about the belts, and they all loved them. I never heard a complaint, and to my knowledge there is no tensioning on that chassis.

I know roller chains need tensioning when they are ran over long distances, but you can get away with c-c on shorter runs of chain. We ran c-c on our intake this year with no tensioners, for a short run of roller chain, and had zero issues with it.
