Does this mean you'll be changing your name to: FREDDYBELTDRIVE?
I've thought about using cog belts for exactly what you've done. Easy way to change those center distances and very quiet operation.

As seems common on this forum, you are on the cutting edge of new ideas.
I have been using a similar drive system on trade show models.
I use broken ink jet printer stepper motor gears and toothed belts. Shortening the belts by cutting on a diagonal, tapering the ends for more surface area contact, glued ends left under pressure over night and not one failure to date.
Great build! Your skills are incredible. Joe
