We are running #35 chain to the front and back wheels from the center wheel / shaft stack up, it's just not shown in that picture yet. I'll try to get a photo of this tomorrow. I'm sure belts will work fine, but we just really wanted to make a drive that could stand up to the abuse of the various defenses.

We did a combination of AndyMark and VEX parts to make that happen easily. We're using 8" AndyMark tires and VEX VersaHubs, Sprockets, and the plate mount versahubs. You can use 1/4" ones on the side of the wheels that don't have a valve stem and 1/2" ones on the side that does have a valve stem.
