Re: Belts vs. Chains

I believe that it depends on the drive deisgn. Just have to keep the specs in mind when choosing the application. We used #25 on our racerbot. (see topics, St Louis Regional & 1098 Ferrari) We had great sucess with it on the drive, 6:1 single stage reduction from 2 CIM motors per wheel. Only threw chain when we took a direct hit on the wheel at speed. We kept going as we were running 4 CIM motors, and ackerman steering. We could get 20.7 fps on th field.

Had a great time at St Louis Regional and congrats to the champs!
