Re: [FTC]: Chain-driven drive trains
The biggest problem with a single chain is that unless you use a lot of idle gears, you will only engage a few teeth on most of the sprockets, which is not at all proper for transferring torque. It would also become completely useless if one link breaks. Coupling each axle to the next with a short chain will give better engagement, and some redundancy. It will require more sprockets and a bit more chain, of course.
