Spring loaded tensioner maybe? I've never tried a spring loaded chain tensioner so I have no idea how it would work. Most suspensions I've seen integrate the gearbox into the suspension so they move together, preserving the same relative distance. But that doesn't make sense for 6 wheels and 2 gearboxes.
