What made you opt for screw+washer and eclips to secure the shafts over circlips everywhere?
Is it just me, or are there 4 wheels on the far side and only 3 on the close side?
EDIT: Did you add any extra spacing for the chain? Apparently that's a problem according to these tests. |
yeah the bumpers form the sides we probably need a bit stronger bracing for the bumpers though, as these supports only touch the bottom of the bumper. And we used bolts and washers last year without too much problem, and its easier to machine for us than e-clip grooves are. we may do only e-clips or only only bolt and washers. we still haven't decided.
Chain spacing is .1835 for the 6W config and .2 for the 8W config (cuz both designs share the outer holes, we couldn't make everything a nice .186 like we would have liked)
