The video was shot with a 27mm eq lens, so very close to the motor. It's a little noisier than a geared hub, much less than a RC though.Whiplash said:Nice! Seems noisy though? Or is it just the camera mic?

Please help me understand what the data is saying. Are your calculations without the idler?Miles said:50% more capacity......
Miles said:Hi Red,
Yes, the calculation is without the idler.
The idler, as is, looks to be a disaster but it might increase the torque level at which ratcheting occurs - at the expense of belt life and efficiency.........
spinningmagnets said:: perhaps a small amount of "slop" on the bottom of the belt would still be helpful for run-out. The idler shouldn't be too difficult to modify.
The Engineer in me screams..."fix the freakin runout " !!
