1vaknd Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 this way you can utilize waht yo have and shouldnt have to make new plates and whay not. theoreticaly there would be alot less friction. remember. keep things simple coz simple shit is easy to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Moving them doesn't give me enough wrap it's currently only on 2 or 3 teeth and don't wanna go down to 1. If I'm going to make solid shafts, I will make them longer and Doppler them on both sides. Dublex sprockets and counter weave chain and a tensioner may be on the cards too... god knows. It already has a solid shaft with sprocket on both sides. Lots to think about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rot808 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 take a break and start on frame, then go back to it if its got you that headfucked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 move them so you get enough contact from 1 full tooth for drive and enough of one for pick up of the next link, it'll work trust me... running a auxillary sprocket at either end of your drive train will also take some force off your shafts ( i see one in the vid but have you got two?) having 2-3 full teeth in the links is over kill and will end in chain bind/snapped shafts and NED tears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Ditch all motors, sell on tm to recoup costs. Replace with weed eater motors that have a centrfugal clutch on each output.. So you can start each one by hand. Force on motors closer to starter will always be too great imo without tons of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Ned, you need a solid shaft. And when you're done with that, work on the valedrome racer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgySam Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Ditch all motors, give them to Dodgysam. Replace with weed eater motors that have a centrfugal clutch on each output..

sentra Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 double simplex sprockets/counterweaved simplex chain, carriers+bearings mounted on opposed plate im 101% down with anything involving more sprockets, chain, and bearings order that shit up you cant use duplex sprockets and 2 rows of simplex chain, need a thin spacer between 2x simplex sprockets, hence quote edit. +1 to shafts, did it snap off the threaded portion of the crankshaft or on the "extra" bit?

flyingbrick Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 ?? The shear loading placed on the first sprocket will be HUGE and decreasing around until the last motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Snapped just after the treaded thing. Cam voiced concerns that maybe i over tightened it too much which gave it a weak spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 that The shear loading placed on the first sprocket will be HUGE and decreasing around until the last motor yeah was a bit of a lol really. i'm running a two motor version of that but keep forgetting i got lucky with rockdrills that have a grunty bearing between clutch and sprocket fuck it, common crank the whole lot and use dental floss wrapped around the rear wheel hub to start it.

Mike-e Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 would probably require a bit of machining and a tricky jig to set up but if you have enough space between flywheels could you extend crank and add a bearing so sprockets are supported both sides? I can understand if you were hesitant to chop up your new alloy plates for a massive rethink im not as good with mspaint as I used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
