Any idea on what can cause this?
From my experience the belts simply rot when the car isn't used for a long time.
I suggest you replace the other 2 belts because they might snap within a few batteries if the car has been sitting for long enough.

Don't bother running the car as 2WD as the weight distribution is all wrong for it.

Reversing doesn't harm the clicker.

Be careful not to set the slipper too loose because the heat buildup can melt the pulley nearest to it if you use a strong motor and it is constantly slipping.

Avner.
