It's a loaded question, first determine what wheels your going to use, then your desired speed.(s) your wheels will tend to drive how you mount them, The Skyway 6 and 8 inch will only work with a 3/8" shaft unless you do some serious custom mounting. The Skyway's with an inner tube only drive with a 5/8" keyed shaft. If going with a shaft pay attention to what the shafts will be mounted in. Steel pillow blocks get heavy very fast (we built our own out of "cutting board" plastic one year) Search the forums for the Atwood gearing xls spread sheet it's a big help in picking sprockets and gears with out redoing the math every time. The wheels from IFI let you decide how you are going to go, If you are willing to spend the money. Hope this gives you some ideas.
