I'm with Jimmy on this.
In the 90'ies, I've never needed to replace the belt on my CAT2000. Two years ago, I wanted to try the CAT again on a modern track and with a modern day power system (5.5 BL). The car still went great around the track (a testimoy on how great a car the CAT2000 was) but I ripped the rear diff and belt after only 5 or 6 runs. Power levells have increased so much since the day of the 2000mA NiCd. The tracks also feature larger and larger jumps.
The TRF501X belts are actually great. I've been running a TRF501X since it came out and I'm only on my 3rd belt. Not bat after 1,5 very busy season.
About replacing pulleys : I compare it to replacing the chain on my motorcycle : if you replace the chain, you also have to replace the sprockets or it will wear very fast.
