Your idea of flipping the chassis over is it...half way there, working out fine (except exhaust header mods)...it has to have a chain drive, that's the whole point of the build!Phin wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2024 7:51 pm 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.

Re: Bolink Chain Drive
Here's the video of the test run at almost no throttle due to the plastic pieces. It sounds like they're yelling at each other but that's just how they communicate with one another all the time.

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.

I know. I was having trouble getting the shot right due to the glare.
