Hi..
Am using a chain drive now, which works ok, but as this is my 3rd build I was looking to upgrade wherever I could.. Have a feeling that motors and electronic are going to be the biggest buy but those will be very dependent on the type of drive mechanism. One thing I will say about chain drive, get a good quality chain! I was shown the difference between a cheapo one (which I have) and a decent make and was very surprised at the accuracy difference.. 2nd thing is, keep them tucked away cause they attract dust like flies to poo..
Steve..
