When the rear shaft broke, I had to reinforce the rear axle (too much stress), at the same time I
put an extension on the motor shaft to go to the drive sprocket, it removed a lot of stress to the
motor, because the sprocket is not directly on the motor shaft and it has a rubber coupler to take
some of the bad torque.
