Good luck this season and have fun!
The thing to make sure of with belts is that you have a precise tensioning solution - like a versablock- in mind.

3 CIMs will not burn your electronics and in fact takes load off of each individual controller in a pushing match at a given speed. That said, make sure not to try and push things in high gear - you'll blow the main breaker.

Edit: Monochron beat me to it!
