Anthony, I referenced your cam bolts during the design phase for this drive, but I didn't think they'd be necessary if we could hold a respectable center to center tolerance. If we find that tensioning the chains becomes and issue down the road, it's not hard to implement your tensioner on our drive.
Cool.

Our sponsored team, FRC3098 The Kettering Captains, will be using our setup this season....so I'm really looking forward to see how the cam bolts hold up during competition.

Agreed that you could always go to a tensioned system if you start to see excessive sprocket wear.
