Well there has been alot of interests in the belt drive upgrade So I figured I would share some important info in regards to motor specs needed
1. Belt drive lowest ratio 13:1 so do math to make sure you will be happy with head speed on your current motor
2. Minimum Motor shaft size needed 3.17
Im starting a new full time Job on Monday march 6th so a few days is needed to get settled in while I still work out material and parts details for the belt drive kit and I hope to start production Very soon
Please Be patient as you will be happy with the results :wink:
Many thanks
Charley

I believe there is an adapter made now and on the market Maybe someone knows of this I could be wrong but I think sparrow products makes or sells adapters
