I am just speaking from my experience. Using 6 (3 on each side) cims all at once uses a lot of power and amperage. This puts a lot of strain on your PDP and I have burned one out.

But in all seriousness, why belts over chain? We have never used belts (never in our team history), and are considering wcd, so is there any particular disadvantage for chain?
I prefer belts over chain because in my experience chains losses more over time than belts do. Both will loosen with use but chains seem to loosen faster and require more work to keep them tight. Either one will work though. Some people prefer belts and others prefer chain.
