 However, I think the laws of physics indicate that doing so is going to be very difficult at best. - EricH [more] |

Re: Weight Reduction Help.
Length of chain and chain pitch used in drive mechanisms can also reduce weight. If you can shorten the chains by relocating the drive/transmission closer to the mechanism it will add up fast. Also if you use No. 35 chain every where look at the actual loading that you see at different locations. My team was shocked last year when I showed them that No. 25 chain could take the load for a 2 motor drivetrain. We had typically used No. 35 and it hadn't been questioned. I just want to stress though make sure you do the stress calculations before making this change.
