tampaboater Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 has anyone ever tried a chain drive system with the mt-5 trans i am doing this for a number of reasons primarily due to the placement of the engine/trans in relation to the location of the rear wheels secondly is ground clearance thirdly is the reason for a 4 wd trans so i could tub out the buggy and hit some deep water with a prop out the back the finished product is gonna be interesting to say the least an thoughts about the system has anyone tried it yet thanks for the thought yall tampaboater pictures to come build it... beat on it... break it... rebuild it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 sounds cool, with proper engineering it should work fine, keep the outer bearings close to the sprockets and have good suport between bearing, dont want any flex or chains will pop off, I know from my own experience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apintonut Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Here's my attempt at something similar it may float depending on the tires. I keep meaning to look into rating tires for floatation I've seen big quads float with the tires in running http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/140418-distractions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
