Re: Best Drivetrain

This was our teams 3rd year and my 4th year involved in FIRST and we implemented #25 chain for the first time and will never be going back to #35. We had a 6 wheel drive with the center wheels directly driven. The outer wheels were tensioned by sliding the axle in a shaft cut into the frame plates and then tightening the screws that hold the axles, a very simple system. We never broke a single chain and in fact never had a single problem with our drivetrain through one regional and championship.
