Default Decision Time

Tonight I managed to strip the belt and a pulley in my x-5, due to being a muppet and tightening the belt too much

Now do I just replace the belt and pulleys or upgrade it to an x-5 squared as this now comes with the machined pulleys.

If I do upgrade it do I need any extra rollers or stuff to stop the belt slipping.

The Higher Power Upgrade Kit is still available, and I think your favourite model shop might have one, or they can get it for you. And we've got them. If you get the Higher Power Kit, you will still need to add a belt.

Of course a new X - 5 Squared gives you everything new -- often a good thing.

The machined pulleys are much better, the main drive pulley significantly! I would defo do that.

while you have it in bits, it would be the prefect time to upgrade to the squared version, as dan said the new pulley are better,

So apart from a new belt, (which one do I need?) is there anything else I should buy, (extra rollers for belt etc) for the upgrade kit.
