I think I can stop the chain throwing be installing a chain tensioner.
A dowl rod under the platform using a $7 elastic belt from Kmart which acts on both chains.
I should abandon this model and go for hubless motors but I have a $7 belt but no hub motors.
I see this model like the "spruce goose" it only has to provide a model to test the concept ... The question is how will it go when upon it.. If good I will invest in better motors and build the platform in fiber glass, carbon fiber would be good but I have no idea,yet, how to fabricate using it.
As my father said " I know you can built it but registration and insurance will see it dead"
He probably is correct.
Its become one of those things where I said I will do it and I like to do what I say I will do.
I believe it will help many people like me who have the same needs. It will be cheap lite and carry stuff.
