I was researching some timing belts for an aplication at work, and started to ponder my old R/C car days (they used these belts) when it hit me. Why not setup a slip clutch assy on the warps? This would have a few major benefits with no real negitives (other than maybe adding a few ounces).
Take a look at this rough drawing of what I am talking about. This is not to scale, just a referance. This will give us adjustablity, keep us from replacing belts all the time and should be more efficient on batteries (it was in the R/C world)
Let me hear some feed back.
Thanks
