Re: sprockets
This is possible and we have done this in the past. If you are going to do this you have to consider several items.
Any slop in the Bolts and holes will give you a potential failure point from the sheer forces. This will be exacerbated by the slop in the housing.
Things to consider
Oversize the holes on the wheels to .1875-.189.
Add Spacers (Aluminum will work) to the sprockets try not to use a hub on the sprocket for weight.
C’Bore the sprockets for the spacers
Use Socket Head Cap (Ask a local machine shop or Hardware store, not Home Depot, Allen or Holo Krome) screws, as they are harder and will provide the strength.
Use ny-loc nuts for later removal
Do a PM (Preventive Maintenance) between matches and have spare screws
Good Luck from Team #75
