lol, I was actually yelling at the monitor when I was watching that video. I was like "Dont just stand there dumb@ss, Get the freaking lipo out of you rig!!!" Personal safety be damned, This is your Xmaxx were talking about here! lol. The part that really killed me was when he threw 2 pinches...

This guys belt tension and motor mount are legit! Id put one on just for S&Gs if I had an X :)

Prolly more of a gimmick than anything, at least on this rig. Aside from him stripping the belt, which seemed like it need more tension on it the torque flex on the motor mount was pretty serious. Id prolly pass unless i just felt like playing with something for the novelty of it.

Was that Elmer Fudd in that video? Its on fiwah. 🤣 I agree I dont see what that fiwah had to do with the belt drive. Probably a coincidence. His first run with the belt drive and his cheap/old/absued/whatever lipo went up.

The main advantages of the belt drive that I can think of are Its quiter (Which Kev already mentioned), Smoother operation compared to gears, Less prone to damage from debris or motor slippage, and shorter gear ratios are easier to implement. That being said its not without a few minor cons too.
