As JackFrost said, stretch can be an issue with long runs. This can be alleviated by making one of the wheel assemblies:
1) adjustable (like the freewheel tightener on the belts of your car)
2) self-adjustable with a spring (this can be fun as you have to tension towards the outside of the path without blocking the downward and slightly outward travel of the ghost)
