Rob, here is a video that i made from my experience with one.

I believe if you pulled a lot of weight the cvt belt would slip but, i have not tested or verified that.

A while ago I saw one on a fb page where a guy did the other mods to it to look like a truck engine but I got turned off when someone said it gets hot and also wasnt a fan of it having the motor can hanging off the front...
