How did you tension the drive chains? Usually teams use the WCP Cam as a tensioner for the VersaBlock Kit, but I didn't see that in your CAD model or BOM. If you didn't use a tensioner, how are the clamping VersaBlocks handling the loads of driving around? Are the sliding at all? We used VersaBlocks with WCP Cams last year and we still saw the VersaBlocks sliding (granted we were hitting the rock wall pretty hard with traction wheels).

Also did you mean for the bearing block part number to be 217-3432 instead of 217-3634? They certainly look more like VersaBlocks instead of Gearbox Bearing Blocks.
