My electric scooter uses #25. We have always used #35 for our bots. I've heard that #25 can break under a lot of force. As for the size of sprockets, you need not worry with #35 chain. (we have used 10 t before) I can't really say about #25 since I've never used it. As long as you have steel sprockets and the chain is tensioned properly, you should be okay.
