• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

WAAAYY to tight. very easy to get vibes with that. as long as you measured in middle on top side of belt. strain on wheel bearings and sprocket are at higher risk. got mine about 160 / 165 on ground - kricket2. no belt tensioner - only happens from time to time, mostly when spyder goes over bumps in road that triggers vibes for a while. i'll take that over forgetting to look at belt tensioner pulley and bearings and they fail and arm goes into belt and destroys it
