I first used 1mm thick belting at 100RPM and this was a bit under-powered. All the power is used to move the thicker belt under tension. It would move a full gallon of milk(3+ kilos) with no issues. With the 0.15mm thick belting that is currently be used the motors can be smaller, especially if you put in ball bearings.
