First, the weird looking traction wheels did yall order those or custom make them them. Second are you using the brace for a TENSIONER? If so CHANGE IT!!! it will wear out your much faster that you may think...trust me.
P.S. If you need a sprocket to use as a tensioner the size is the size of GoKarts (I think its size 35)
If you mean the wheels in the back, those aren't traction wheels. They're omni wheels, which can be purchased from www.andymark.biz.

You may be right about the brace as a tensioner. The top picture seems to show plenty of clearance. If I'm wrong about the clearance, then the brace needs to be moved, and the Toughbox can be slid to tension the chain. Size of chain is #35.
