	Quote originally posted by stormrider62033 sure the belt isnt getting wet ,with snow no because ill get stuck in a carve leaned to that side and if i pick up the left side and lean it to the right the thing will take right off after that it seems to be just when the sled is leaned to the left Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

I can't think why leaning only to the left would cause the belt to slip. Unless the motor was trying to fall over itself. But then I think the problem would show up elsewhere. What about if you lean the sled to the left and not lay it over on it side. Like only in a few inches of snow. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

Like only in a few inches of snow. yeah its only when u lay it over, but if your just turning and leaning a little bit its fine, only when you carve, that why i was wondering if it would be motor mounts and it was just causing the belt to be uneven and slip Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
