Default Pulley clogging & belts

Hey there.

Pretty much from the first couple of runs on I have the problem of rubber, carpet fluff and dust clogging the centre (and also diff) pulleys. After each run I have to clean them as the problem keeps the drivetrain from running freely.

Any idea how to solve this? IIRC soaking belts in WD-40 or the like will/may reduce this problem as I think early Yokomos had the same issue. I am not sure though.

Also, do you guys have an idea what aftermarket (white/low drag) belts may fit? Belt size is 173T front and 62T rear.
