I am beginning to think about installing pypilot on my 33fter and plan to use windshield wiper motor to drive my steering wheel.
A lot of people are using plastics for pulleys. There are many off the shelf V pulleys that come in many sizes.
Has anyone have experience using V belt?

I think the timing belts (with teeth) are preferred to get better traction. The belt doesnt spin that fast it needs good grip.
