tag it belt help or something to that effect

The only time we had a problem with the belts was this year was at battlecry, we actually snapped one of them. Besides that we havent had a single problem. The belts actually made our drive train stronger because they have more endurence than chain. I think it would be a safe bet to say that we will be useing belts on our drive system this year also.
