that was my main reason for asking about the chains because the shaft on the motor is only about 3/16" dia and the sprockets i see are for 1/4" and up. my thoughts are, if i need to, I'll have Ralph (the guy who makes up most of my model master patterns) turn a sleeve to fit between the sprocket and shaft.

I think most are using 35... I'm getting 25 myself, so I'll let you know how they work out. Was looking for 35, but didn't find any 35 sprockets to mount on my motors.

Don't believe anyone is running any chain bigger than 35.

I ordered 4 Scooter motors yesterday and expect them this time next week. if i don't like them, they wheren't too much so it's not a total waste (i can always put them into something else).
anyway, they come with 11 tooth sprockets for #25 chain. I am guessing tht 25 chain is too small for tank duty, so I am going to wait for them to arrive before I decide apon the new sprockets and chain.
Now, what is a good, strong chain to go with? should I go with something like 35? 40? 50?
