It seems that chains have a problem with the high rpms I need. If I directly drive the chain from the motor, I need a sprocket turning at 6000rpm. That's some phenomenal centripetal acceleration, perhaps more than any chain can give. Belts are significantly lighter, can also transmit massive amounts of power, are more efficient in less-than-ideal situations, so it might be better to go with the higher maintenance but more efficient solution.
