108.9 mph (by Zdeno Chara) is the fastest recorded slapshot in the NHL, not the world. The world record is actually 114.127 mph (with the typical caveat of differences in the two competitions and the trustworthiness of the KHL's radar guns).

Have you considered working with belts instead? I don't see any reason not to other than worrying about not getting the center distance close enough.

We talked with grainger before ordering parts and the engineer there said it would be harder with belts because running them at such excessive speeds and rpms like we would be, meant the belt may not handle the load. With chain we knew it would be able to handle the rpm and speeds.
