Most 6 speed freewheels are 14-28 (14t small, 28t large), wide range shimano are 14-34. The downside to using one is that you lose braking power via the motor, and they really can't take much power. A cassette could be used, and a fixed trials hub would get rid of weak pawls. I welding the freewheel to the hub is an easy and cheap solution.

I guess I will have to deal with braking on my CV tranny anyway, since the belt wont have much grip for braking in reverse. On top of that, my ESC's wont have braking. Doh!
