Re: 2073 is looking into WCD, feedback requested

If you are concerned about running chains inside the frame perimeter you can easily put the sprockets on the back of the wheels and run the chain system that way. It will reduce the interior available space but will eliminate the need for chain covers. The chain covers will reduce the interior space available so in reality it about the same amount of space. If you like I can send you our CAD from last year.

Here is one of our CAD models with chain runs behind the wheels. Pardon the overly large sprockets.. We ended up moving the chain to the interior for that year.

Last year we used the WCP 3CIM DS transmission with chain runs inside the frame perimeter. We installed chain covers, like on a bicycle. The chain covers worked just fine but this year we are going to run the sprocket & chains in the frame..

Keep it up!!
