Re: Chain vs. Belts?!?

This is anot extremely common questions on CD and TBH this thread is TL;DR.

My personal take on belt verses chain is dependent on where it is on the bot. If it is on the drive train I use Center to Center chain #25 and forget about it. In my experience the stretch is small enough that it has no noticeable impact on the bots performance.

Everywhere else I use belts and put them in tub.
