Like I posted earlier "The axle drive greas have not been changed from factory nor have the tires or wheels." I'll have to lift it tonight so I can count the actual teeth, but the gears are stock. The buggy is a 2005 Twister HammerHead.
Stock belt or Kevlar, neither have ever lasted a tank of gas.
The both sides of the variator have been replaced trying to resolve, the clutch pulley is stock, last time I had it apart there was no damage, I checked for nicks and warpage. The belt initially rides very high in the clutch pulley. I ran it on the stand without the cover and noted the variator does expand and contract as well as the clutch pulley. When the new belt comes it I'll make a video and post.
