Opinion? Don't know what to think of it other than it's pretty cool

Would be cool if you could still get the belts for it. Should make for easy gear changes I would think...

Don't leave home without a handful of rubber...bands. I'd carry a spare in my wallet to get that sweet faded ring on the back pocket.

It would be cool to see a 1/5 scale with a CVT.

I feel like it coudl be good for the lower hp motors, when it's gets into the high hp range it would start slipping ?

Yeah it could work, just most wouldn't wanna put that much effort into something like that when there's reliable gear set up. I'd love to see it properly done on a high hp engine (nexts idea? ??)
