Junk Belt drive,Soon to be chain drive!

[9W Monighan]

This belt thing might be ok for r/c cars,but it's not the hottest set up in town.
She will out pull my first one in the dirt.But that's only because it has a lot of weight in er.Now get it on carpet for the max pullin,& the old belt just don't cut it! So now I'm lookin for a chain set up. It does work fine if you use it the way it should be,nice & smooth.But it isn't worth the time to use the belt.

I wouldn't sell the cog belt short just yet. I like your idea and maybe a little better quality belt and make sure there's no slack and the shafts are rigid enough , this may do the trick. The chain will make alot of noise and take up more room but would be very strong indeed.
I use a cog belt alittle bit bigger driven by a 1/8th HP motor in my main transmission case on my dragline. This setup is very quiet and has withstood walking of the 200#+ machine and digging without any maintenance for 5yrs.
