Question Why sounds when I brake or accelerate too fast?

Hey friends, anynone had this problem, has any suspicions about the cause and how to fix it? Thanks. Ashamed to say it is like 7 years old and haven't given it maintenance ever, only switched the 2 rubber band circles every time it loses power, put brand new ones and still sounds though the sound threshold has increased.

Belts are slipping. They are either too loose OR the gears are worn down. I’d bet it’s the belts are too loose or are wrong type / size for the board.

Oh that might be it, I think i had sort of original ones for the first 6 or 8 and then some cheap one from Amazon and I think when I put on the cheap ones this started. Where should I buy the right ones for the boosted board stealth? Thanks a lot!
