The Tamiya belts are great - just don't run them too tight or loose. I've only broken one belt and that was from running it too tight.
I never broke a belt, but after 20 runs the rear belt starts slipping no matter what belt tension is use.

Actually, last year I could run 40 batteries without slipping. But since I use the 18T/37T pulleys I have the wear problem. Maybe I should switching back to the 16T/36T pulleys?
