Haven't had a chance to check their chain - good idea.
I assume this is the plastic chain here:

Thanks. Yes, that is the chain but, it is not plastic it is steel. The entire drive train is metal except the servo cases.

I couldn't get their servo splined sprockets to work though. They were very helpful trying to help me (GREAT customer support) but, every sprocket they sent me grabbed the chain badly. The only way there sprockets would work smoothly is if the chain only wraps around a small portion of the sprocket. I said to them "simply wrap the chain around the sprocket and you will see that it is STUCK on there" and they just ignore the comment... the standard $3 sprockets I ordered from a discount chain work fine.
