Reply to "Weaver - my first attempt."

Great news Max! I am intrigued to see how this goes as I have not had time to get to my upgrade kits yet.

Please could you do a "before and after" video clip with the noise coming from the top sprocket(s) at speed? I have a P&D F Unit on which I did all the Bob Sobol upgrades, plus a big flywheel. And I spent some time trying to "compromise align" the top and bottom sprockets to accommodate the down-sloping top shaft and angled chain-top sprocket issue. When I first ran it the slow speed was awesome - best ever on that drive. But as soon as I got to about scale 10mph it began to rattle and hum, and by mid throttle it's blotting out the sound decoder. I listened in closely and all the noise seems to be coming off the top sprocket.

My feeling is that the kit will fix all this and the drive will be as quiet as it ought to be with Delrin-on-Delrin chain and sprockets, and minimized UJ angles.

Fingers crossed...
