Re: pic: Team 3647 West Coast Drive
Our experience has been that separate plates on either side of the rail on this type of drive do not work well. The tension in the chain tends to pull the axles at each end toward the center, creating toe on the wheels.
I'd argue that the bearing block design is the most important (and most overlooked) element in this sort of design. Plates alone probably won't cut it.
