I think the problem is coming from impacts on the track, the shock sent back through the drivetrain just ends up flipping the belt.

I guess it could also be a bad mold on the belts or something, maybe the fibers arent straight through the belt, that may cause the problem.

I have yet to flip a white belt, and all I run is a 6 turn motor, so maybe I have just gotten lucky.
Yea ive only flipped my front belt once an that was at the Hpi junior nationals running mod when i managed to hit a flipped car at the end of the straight at full speed Although i think it was beacuse my glass fibretape snapped and the cells hit the belt. Other than that its been fine.
I run my belts at.....

Stock indoors -1 -1
Stock outdoors -2 -2
19t indoors +1 +1
19t outdoors 0 0
Mod indoors +2 +2
Mod outdoors not done that yet but i rekon id stay with +2+2 just to be safe

So far ive only stripped 1 bets an that was wen i accidentally ran +1+1 in mod indoors
