There's a reson we have been hounding you about that belt.

Just out of curiosity? Whats the tooth counts on the sprockets? Both of em.

You’ll see the difference between a yak grease and rice fiber belt and a rubber and Kevlar belt.

Just trying to understand what this means. I'm interpreting it as I'll see the quality difference when the comet belts arrive?

Yes sir. I literally mean, youll see the difference. I should have said, Youll see it.

Whelp, burnt through the second belt. The first looked mostly spot less when I pulled it off (just left a good amount of debris on the pulleys). This one got completely destroyed. Have a couple comet belts arriving today that I ordered from the suggestions here.

The belt quality doesn't actually look that bad to me, but maybe I'm missing something. If it does seem decent quality, makes me worried might need to be one kid at a time.

One kid at a time. Are you kidding. My Son and his heavy ( that's being polite ) wife jump in one of mine to go looking for their daughter if she's been out of their sight for 5 minutes all the time. I'm talking about 400 + lbs. NO NEGATIVE belt ware. Alignment of the two clutches should be spot on from the factory. BUT just in case, show us a picture of your clutches from above and a little behind with the belt removed. That the two inner sheeves are dead on equal is really important on this style converter.

That’s amazing longevity from a factory new kart and its supplied belt. It’s enough for someone to think “Welp, that’s just how it is. You have to replace the belt every day” and then “I’m putting this thing up for sale and getting something better.”

Maybe it’s designed to sell belts? It’s a scam.
