Chains - #40 versus upgrading to 520 series

[jr dragster T]

Jeeze, what is it? Platinum?

No, Just arguably the world's best chain. It's what I am going to be running on my kart with my new motor. I cant stand how people will have the biggest engine or something like that and run the cheasyist chain they can buy. I'd rather not break my chain a while from home/safety. And yes, Regina make's #35.

Another vote here for #40 chain over the #35! #35 is noisy and comes off sprockets easier, especially if your chain isn't real tight. The #40 chain is not picky, and never comes off, even if you let it get loose. It's also quieter, and much stronger.

#40 chain is strong, and cheap, can't go wrong there. However, 50 or 520 is even better, and if you can get it on there, then why not? Bigger is better!

Tractor Supply has #50 chain sprockets and hubs for whatever shaft you need, just weld the hub into the sprocket.
