A small caveat to Clem's post I would just like to point out is that Lunacy drivetrains tended to be much more forgiving in terms of chain tension, and things coming loose. This was due to the slickness of the floor/wheel interface. Wheels can only exert so much force on the ground, and in the case of the Lunacy game, it was much smaller than usual.

Just wanted to point that out, the sliding tensioner blocks may have worked great for Lunacy, but for games with more aggressive surfaces (ie: carpet), they may not work as well. Thats not to say it cannot be done, it just will require some extra effort.
