Re: Bolink Chain Drive
Got is all done thanks to Dadio Designs!....then I realized I mounted the engine wrong, it's running in reverse in this location, has to be flipped to the other side...somebody please help me deal with this..Please!
...I ordered a new chassis, not a huge deal but the body cutout for the exhaust is...I got some serious work ahead of me

Re: Bolink Chain Drive
Flip the clutch, and start it in the other direction 
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Re: Bolink Chain Drive
Genius.
Beats my idea, which was to mount a Civic body on it backwards and pretend you always intended to make it FWD.

Re: Bolink Chain Drive
Yay! A chance to break out the Crayons!
One way to reverse the direction of the wheel rotation would be to install a forward idler gear and two idlers adjacent to the motor, then run the chain over the top of the drive sprocket.
Another way would be to install two idlers and run the chain on the front side of the driven sprocket, which would also reverse the direction of wheel rotation.

Re: Bolink Chain Drive
Or you could ditch the DD and use a combo of gears and sprocket on a jack shaft. Either engine sprocket to spur sprocket to pinion gear to spur gear on wheel/axle....or the more common engine pinion to spur gear to pinion sprocket to spur sprocket on wheel/axle.
