Just for peace of mind you might want to print something that fits around or on the top of your motors to ensure the chain doesn't rub against the motors in the worst situations.
Thank you!
The sprockets are 38 tooth versasprockets from Vex with a minor diameter of just over 2.8". They are inline with the CIMs, so I'm not too worried about the chain hitting. In the past 115 has used polycarbonate chain guards, so if there was a problem I would stick those in.
