Yup, the little parts really do get expensive on anything. I have a single seat full suspension go kart, and when I went to buy the bolts it cost more than the tires. 200 bucks in bolts to replace every bolt, ouch.I run the stock tensioner on mine. Took a few tries to get it right, you have to start off kilter so by time it is tight it is in the correct spot. It would be disaster to have it swing into the spokes, so I keep a close eye on it.
I need half links to get the correct amount of slack in the chain. Have to order those. As inexpensive as this hobby is there can be a lot of nickel and dime expenses.
Did you check local auto parts store for half links? I get my chain and half links at the local NAPA
