Thanks for the info. Is this the place you got yours from? Is that price $51.00 for a complete system or by pice. So for around $100.00 with shipping if it a complete system is not bad

The guy doesn't speak English so you need to use Google translate to talk to him.

Yeah I had to use the google translate to figure it all out. It is a complete kit as to what was translated. So it came out to $52.00US with free shipping So it's not bad.

I have a stern belt drive on my XT and I love it,Great job making yours,looks like it works good,Stern’s covers suck,they are flimsy and break right away but yours looks really good,I’ve been running my truck with no cover but if you ever intend on selling at least the covers I will purchase one ASAP,Thank you for your time!!!

I never received anything from them from that website. Tried to contact them but nothing not even money back. Will never try from them again

Hello everyone, I also chose the path of self-building a belt drive, I do not like the 1: 1 gear ratio and I decided to reduce it to 0.75: 1, at the moment I am printing a protective cover on a 3d printer. But my version uses a custom brake shaft, it is longer and in my opinion this option is more reliable. The stock brake shaft, due to the hex connections, loses alignment and has a large runout, this kills the bearings. In the photo, the first fitting of parts after turning work, instead of a brake shaft I used a reamer 😄 (sorry for the machine translation)

Hey, thank you for your interest. I actually just installed it, so I'm still testing and figuring things out. If you can give me some time, I can get back to you soon.

Thanks!
Can you give the info on where I can get that belt drive? Or the dimensions on the pulleys and the belt
