    Hello,

    I’ve got a Carbon GT in AT mode. I’ve got brand new belts and brand new pulleys on the motors, and yet whenever I break hard, the belts slip. They are adjust to be as tight as possible. Is there a solution to this?

    This is why guys run idler pulleys. My GTX doesn’t have this problem. I’m 175lbs.

    Idler Pulleys. Can you tell me more? Do you have a link to pulleys that will fit?

    Probably have to diy it. Drill a hole, add a bolt, speed ring, and a couple bearings. You will need a longer belt.

    This looks good... but really hard to fit on the GT plate in AT mode. Has anybody else found a solution?

    Ahh true. I forgot how close the gears are.

    That’s strange though. Mine doesn’t slip at all with AT.

    you have to tighten your belt.. the reason it slip because it because your belt is too loose..

    @karl, but my belt is as tight as it can go. Ie. the motor is pushed back and tightened as far as the holes will allow.

    Did you already check the gear teeth or the belt itself...

    I’d try a slightly smaller belt if the motor is as far back as it can go. How tight is the belt? Guitar string tight or does it have some play?
