Dean, it's probably dumb luck that the two drives on the piece I'm working
on have little slack. Yet, with LEGO beams and blocks you can't use every
gear combination; there are published beam/block/plate combinations that let
this or that pair of gears mesh. Someone will do that for chain, someday.
There's another thing you should have mentioned: The less chain slack the
greater the force between shafts and associated friction.
