First, as someone who's admired Grasshopper Machines for 20+ years, I am going to tell you that you really need to give JamesCH95's experience strong weight.
Almost all my experience with successful #25 chain implementations on drive trains comes before anyone used conveyor belt for tire tread and certainly before pneumatic tires with sprockets that bolt on were only a few clicks away. It may very well be the case that with these new fangled grippy tire options, young'ins these days just have to go with #35 chain for their own safety.

Amen brother JamesCH95, amen.

I applaud teams that make signs of all kinds - giant numbers, large banners, humongous heads. It's all good. - Ryan Dognaux [more]
