Random Ideas for Timbersled

[HILCLMR]

I just read a post comparing the TS vs Yeti from Snowest by WKR.
It got me thinking about efficiencies with a chain drive, seeing that the Yeti and CMX kits are belt drive, would the TS benefit from a belt drive system?
Or better yet get rid of the chain on the kit and build a planetary set up like a RMI or Diamond Drive?
The planetary's are around 11% more efficient than a chain case.
Or is there something that I am missing?
It looks like a belt drive system would be super easy to do.

Reason they use a chain is because the TS drive framework flexes so much. Can't keep a belt drive aligned or tensioned never mind trying to keep planetary gears engaged properly. Was going to put one on but decided to go YETI instead.
