there would be, i forgot to draw it into that one, i was going off of memory from a drawing i did at work. and there would be chain tensioners on both of them to keep the chain on/tight

o no, i agree completly :P. which system do you think would work better though?

there isnt one, its more for the looks, and for the fun of doing something differant
