Are the gears worn? Thats the only thing i could think of. You cant adjust the centre belt tension, it's just the top deck that tensions it. Try the gears first

the chassis should be flat, and when you tighten down the topdeck, you should have the car sat flat too, to stop any bend (tweak) being induced).

NONE of your belts should skip! When you are fitting your centre belt are you putting it straight over the pulleys or taking the front pulley off to fit it? If so it might be stretching the belt if your not taking the pulley off.
