"The belt is supposed to be finger tight and with no backlash when you pull on it. Chris Venter has a video he made of changing his belt and its very useful. I would not overtighten it either".
Good point. Another Aussie MX owner/user really overdid his belt tension and got mounthitsomething slew errors. Must have been super tight! Automotive tight even!
I press firmly on one side of the belt. If it introduces movement on the opposing side - it's not tight enough. After working with large electric RC helies for years, I do prefer working with belts and pulleys. Very straight forward to re tension.
