Re: pic: GEAR & CHAIN IN TUBE 8WD

I understand the attraction of belt/chain in tube drivetrains as a design exercise.

The trade made is very involved and long replacement times if a belt/chain/axle/bearing failed during a competition. You could very easily miss a match for the amount of time it would take to replace any part.

Considering maintenance, and tensioning should be prime considerations in determining the best way to implement a belt/chain drive train.
