Drive system needs to be re-designed to reduce the propeller speed and change the layout to a standard quad rotor layout. Plan is to use belt drives to change the rotor speed and switch to separate belts for each rotor. This will also make the system more consistent with Titan.

New pulleys will be GT2 profile. Belts will be either Gates GT3 belts or Jason Platinum Belts. Safety Factor of 2.0 will be maintained for all belt sizing.
