    The carbon belt (blue) is technically not as strong, but we have very good luck with it. Both of the belts have 11mm cords, it seems if you're detonating the motor the blue belt will break clean where the purple will stay on...you may only have cords left at the end of the track though. I wouldn't run the 75mm wide belt, the 84mm belts shows much better results. That being said with the right idler setup the blue belt works perfectly and is cheaper. We are putting 15 runs on the belt at 2.28 od and then removing it.
