Re: Chain Covers

The problem is ussualy not the long runs of chain but where it meets a sprocket becuase a limb could get caught between the chain and a tooth and get seriously injured. I would look closely at where your chain hits a sproket and less at the long run between, so yes, that is legal.

I know that on my bot, i'm going to tyr to cover the pinch pounts cause I have pinched my finger when I was moving the chain around its look and it hurt (not badly). I could only think what might happen if the motors had been running it.
