Doing some research for my current build and I have a question. Is a shorter chain weaker? I'm figuring out rear suspension designs and I have an option of either running a swingarm with the engine mounted to it (simple, only needs 1 chain, but not great for jumps) or running a jackshaft so the engine can be mounted to the frame (better, but I would need 2 chains). My concern is that the first chain from the torque converter to the jackshaft would be weak because it would be shorter. Is this true?
