Default big belt on the SX

the original belt I got on the SX looked a little frayed when I got the car, but still lasted a few months before finally snapping.

new one on and 5 or 6 meetings later and it snaps again.

Should I put this down to a 1 off or has anyone else had problems with the big belt?

Cat has been run with the undertray on outdoors and only on grass/astro so no little stones could of got in.

I have had the same problem, it is down to dirt getting into your drivetrain

maybe the slipper too tight? Haven't had a belt snap on me yet (kiss of death!)

the slipper is audible during initial acceleration so I wouldn't of thought it was that. out of the few runs I did on the new belt most of those were on polished floor so grip was low.
