Hi everyone, been busy putting together various parts to see whats going to work best.
I got an astroflight 60 brushed motor the other day and I threw this together because I couldn't wait to try it out.
Didn't go to well though, as soon as I hit the throttle the #25 chain popped off. Turns out I didn't line up the sprockets as well as I thought.
When I went to remove the sprocket and add a spacer I realized I should have taken the time to grind a flat on the shaft cause tightening the set screw
warped the shaft enough that I couldn't remove the pulley or sprocket. oops.
Oh well, I know now to grind a flat on the shaft (duh) and also I'm going to attach the motor to the frame next time as the rack mount was too flimsy.
