The short answer is yes. We've done it, I know 1625 has done it, I think 118 did it and I'm sure there are others.

The long answer is it depends. The Size of the wheels, torque of steering motors, size of sprockets, etc... Chain manufacturers post specs for their chain, and it actually isn't too difficult to check if your within the working range.
