Chains. Not all of them are for drive. I forget exactly where the team put their other drive motors--the outer ones look like the lift chains. (Of note: the midships gearboxes change chain direction to operate a lift, and are not part of the drivetrain. Unfortunately, they didn't quite have the time to get that fully operational.)


Edit: Just for the record, I'm not affiliated with the team. But after seeing that... Well, here's the result. I'll have to see if I can signal one or two of the 585 folks to describe it in more detail. As I said in the description, I've never seen a drive like this before.
