just looked at ur set up its pretty similar to the idea i had lol any chance you can tell me wat sprockets you used and how u got the sprocket onto the gear?

[dragonmaster_1]

Im Back

That was my first attempt I now use a 12 tooth sprocket on the motor and a 50 tooth sprocket on the axe. It is alot better at tacking the shock when the axe hits something.the chain is 8mm

If you fancy buying a new screw then you can drill out the screw with a regular drill bit (i believe a 4mm is best). Eventually the bit catches on the screw and as it is left hand, merely spins it out leaving you with an intact left hand thread inside.
