Much of the VexPro products are based on live-axle motion transfer. Using these products outside of their designed usages certainly isn't against the rules, but it can be more trouble than what it's worth. Figuring out when and how to modify COTS products to your purposes takes some planning and some experience. (Hey, that sounds suspiciously like engineering.)

Also, are you sure the clamping gearbox will hold securely enough to keep the tension in your chain? I know on drivetrains, people have noticed slippage when they used the clamping bearing blocks without the WCP cam. I don't know if you'll run into the same problem.
